Vessel of Light - Last Ride (Digipak CD)

Despite the bands moniker, Last Ride is riddled with dark lyrical themes. "I'm a big fan of horror movies and old school doom metal," says vocalist Nathan Opposition. "I grew up listening to bands like Sleep, Electric Wizard, Eyehategod and year-round I'd be watching Suspiria, Evil Dead, Dead Alive and Bad Taste. When we started VESSEL OF LIGHT, Dan asked me not to write about the devil, but he mentioned he liked true crime. I thought, Oh, its on! That was the birth of the VOL content. Its dark, evil, and at times reflective of society, so close that it even gives me the creeps."
