Album Review: Vehemence – “Forward Without Motion”
It’s been 11 years since the last album from Arizona’s Vehemence. That’s not quite as epic a wait as we had for the latest At the Gates release, but still… it’s a long time.

CANTO: A New Video from Lindemann, Album Sales, and the Return of Vehemence
Thirsty Thursday. Yes, I am still a person that believes that should be a thing. On it.
- Let’s start with album sales. Some pretty big names from the past week. Faith No More opened quite well, and leads the way this week.
- Yes, we all think it’s weird that the new Slayer record will be Nuclear Blast rather than American Recordings. I guess we can thank an insulting offer from Rick Rubin for that one.
- For some reason, Jonathan Davis will be working with Big and Rich on a country music project. There’s a reason we don’t respect Mr. Davis around here.
- You guys may not remember Vehemence, but if you do it’s probably because you thought favorably of them. If so, you’re in luck. The band announced they’ll be releasing their first album since 2004.
- So, we finally get a full song from Lindemann… and a video! It’s for “Praise Abort” and it’s really damn weird…
Told you. The song is a lot of fun, though.
“Ein Bier… bitte.”
