Alex Honeycutt (Bass) and Mark Pfromm of Vesta Collide at Club Red Mesa | 2.10.17
Vesta Collide, a Metal band from Detroit, is the latest band with Stay Sick Recordings to progressively push genre boundaries with a dark obsessive twist. Their debut album New Obsession dropped January 20, 2017.
Vocalist, Mark Pfromm and Bassist, Alex Honeycutt sat down with Monica Demattei, TPF's Founder, to discuss their first-week's run on tour with Alesana, already overcoming multiple vehicle breakdowns and a blizzard while they were passing through Flagstaff, Arizona.
Vesta Collide Interview - the Darker Side of Daydreaming Obsessively
In addition to vocals, Pfromm is the band's lyricist. He talked about some of the themes that drive his lyrics and how stylistically he expresses them with a darker spin to create a cool story that is relatable to the listener.
New Obsession touches on the darker side of daydreaming obsessively...
"A lot of things I write about are social anxiety and time, and I just want to move forward to find something new to obsess about that’s anything but the problems that have been weighing me down." —Mark Pfromm
The band announced that a video would be coming out soon; "I Can't Sleep" was premiered at Tattoo, February 27, 2017. Watch it here.
Additionally, Vesta Collide have just jumped on the current Attila Let's Get Abducted Tour, with Bad Omens and Cane Hill. Tour runs through March 12. Get your tickets here.
