Vintersea Urge You to “Become The Wave” with New Single

For just the second time ever, we have another single from extreme progressive metal outfit Vintersea featuring their new vocalist Kayla Dixon, who replaced Avienne Low. This time around, the Portland, Oregon-based band have released the single “Become The Wave”.

With a barrage of blast beats, the rolling thunder of the bass, the angular attack of their guitars, and Dixon’s epic vocals, this new track is equal parts epic and brutal. Speaking of the track itself, guitarist Riley Nix said this one was a hint at where the band was headed with their sound.

“If ‘Celestial Abscission’ was our big bang out of the gate to show the world what VINTERSEA can do with our new vocalist (Kayla Dixon), ‘Become the Wave’ is a statement about where VINTERSEA is headed and what we want our music to represent. In some ways it is a return to form – melodic, brutal, groovy, and inspiring – but it is also different from anything you have heard from us before. Kayla brought huge energy, heartfelt performances, and some really unique tones that drove the song in a fresh direction from the outset.”

As for the video, bassist Karl Whinnery was excited for people to see what he put together for the track.

“I am super excited for people to scope out the video for ‘Become the Wave.’ We built a unique set in my garage, explored epic locations at the Oregon Coast, and tried a few things we have never done before. This is classic VINTERSEA, but with some new moves. Kayla crushed the vocal performance, and used techniques I’ve never heard before. We’ve played this song live on our last couple of tours, and it kills every show. I can’t wait for you all to hear what we can do.”
