about
After their successful launch to the world of heavy metal with their debut single ‘Stormweaver', Vansidian strike back with a second offering. The new track, entitled ‘Code Of Shame', is an aggressive, dynamic song, constructed to accommodate several styles of metal, as Vansidian have made clear before. Balancing heaviness with distinctive melodies, thrash riffs and shredding, contrasting vocals and groove, ‘Code Of Shame' encompasses every aspect of what Vansidian can do best. Lyrically, the song is a powerful ode to reinventing yourself and rebuilding your own path in life after having experienced a certain level of shame and devaluation.
lyrics
Disappearing eyes, shadows full of lies, cast to hide the trail from which you came.
So it all begins, greeting me with fire, little game we play daring yet dire.
As I break, your code of shame will fade away.
Clear as day, all your lies, will fade away.
Now you know, as all unfolds, the past that kept you slow, it will release it’s hold.
Free at last, heart beating fast, so fast.
Furthermore, through the moss and core, under the leaves it sores, the tracks are seen once more. Great unknown, am I finally heading home?
Read between the lines, chaos will subside, clearing all your thoughts of any ill.
Burning it all down, only one survives, I remember every word you said.
As I break, your code of shame will fade away.
Head held high, so much pride, give an inch, lose another mile.
Lost it is, if too blind, reaching out, you don’t have to hide.
Why did you, always try to hide? Why did you never even try?
Why?
Only when alone, treasures will you find, lying at your feet, waiting to shine.
As I break, your code of shame will fade away.
Drowning eyes, faintest smile, will fade away.
Now you know, as all unfolds, the past that kept you slow, it will release it’s hold.
Free at last, heart beating fast, so fast.
Furthermore, through the moss and core, under the leaves it sores, the tracks are seen once more. Great unknown, am I finally heading home?

Vansidian stands out for following the least traditional path of metal bands nowadays,
combining an
impressive variety of influences,
thus delivering a sound that covers the whole spectrum of heavy metal subgenres.
Retro video game-inspired melodies with galloping death metal riffs,
melodic hooks and richly combinative vocals,
simultaneously maintaining an oldschool heavy metal orientation....more
These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
