The Vines Are In The (Metal) Zone With Their New Clip

Staff Writer

Rock. And. Roll

More The Vines The Vines Profile

Inflammatory Australian rock veterans The Vines have announced their return to active duty in fittingly raucous style with the monochromatic tones and dark, rambunctious strains of Metal Zone, the band's first single from their forthcoming sixth studio full-length, Wicked Nature.

The track, named for the group's “favourite distortion pedal”, traverses the dynamic spectrum from whimper to scream and back, with frontman Craig Nicholls – and his hair – in typically unpredictable form that nonetheless at once oozes familiarity and charm.

Get amongst the track via the freshly released accompanying clip, below.

 

Metal Zone is officially released today (available via iTunes here).

Wicked Nature hits stores on September 2. If you pre-order the album from Pledge Music, you will be in with a chance to win exclusive prizes, including personally autographed copies of the vinyl.
