John Herne I had the pleasure of seeing Vanik perform live at the Hells Heroes after party. His set, along with Midnight, was the highlight of the fest. Killer rock n roll you can jam to all night long. And we would have if the bar didn't close at 2AM;) Favorite track: Island of Lost Souls.

Nattskog The first LP from VANIK in his venture of Horror Heavy Metal excellence, definitely one to spin on All Hallows Eve. Favorite track: Blood Sucking Lust.

Big T Raw and gross in the best possible way! Sick addictive riffs with a nod to old school metal. Horror themed lyrics... what's not to love? Favorite track: One More Dose.

Shiela Dixon Quality old-school metal / thrash. Blood-curdlingly good songwriting. What's not to love? The $6.66 price tag is a nice touch. Very appropriate and a bargain too. Thank you.

Backslash in your room I stare as you fall to the ground naked as you bleed just wait for me to break out again Backslash on the streets fifteen years have gone by so fast helpless innocent teens my reign will continue this night stabbing in the night blank and emotionless the blackest eyes backslash in the car dont think you could get out this fast your trapped and locked in this cell my reign will continue this night stabbing in the night blank and emotionless the blackest eyes Bloodshed Bloodshed, at midnight (you'll be dead) stabbing in the night blank and emotionless the blackest eyes backslash on the streets fifteen years went by so fast helpless innocent teens my reign will continue this night stabbing in the night blank and emotionless stabbing in the night stabbing in the night blank and emotionless the blackest eyes
