“Vain City Chronicles”, THE CREST’s long awaited sophomore release, showcases the band’s heavier, more guitar-based side while still focusing on their beloved melancholic melodies and soothing female vocals. The record truly captures the live energy and heaviness their debut “Letters from Fire” might have been missing. Highlighted here are the angelic and transcending vocals of Nell, better known for her work with THEATRE OF TRAGEDY. “Vain City Chronicles” is sure to please both the goth-rock and metal scenes alike!
