If there is one band that combines a classic approach with fresh ideas and an expansive joy of playing to honour their ancestors from the likes of early Exodus, Metallica or Slayer, then it is the German fivepiece Vulture. On their fourth album Sentinels, they prove once again that tradition and further development are not mutually exclusive, but on the contrary can lead to something extraordinary that leaves no headbanger untouched. Since the release of their last album Dealin' Death in 2021, Vulture have played the biggest German heavy metal festivals - Wacken and Summer Breeze - as well as numerous smaller festivals. With the release of the digital single High Speed Metal (2022), the band went on tour with their brothers from Exciter and played festivals all over Europe last year, from Denmark to the Czech Republic and France.
