Ten years of razor-sharp riffs! Ten years of ferocious speed! Germany’s VULTURE are celebrating their first decade of destruction with a brand-new digital single fittingly titled, “Power Thrash!”
Since their formation in 2015, the high-speed powerhouse has carved its name into the skull of the world’s metal scene. Drawing from the raw aggression of thrash metal’s earliest days, the melodic hymns of the NWOBHM and the spirit of ‘70s and ‘80s horror and suspense, VULTURE‘s sound is as dangerous as unmistakable. Scorching twin-leads, thundering drums, ear-piercing screams, and a relentless dedication to their craft have made them one of the most exciting and authentic acts in the genre today.
From their infamous debut Victim To The Blade (2016) and its follow up The Guillotine (2017), to the genre-bending Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves (2019), it’s critically acclaimed successor Dealin’ Death (2021), and VULTURE‘s latest full-length Sentinels (2024), VULTURE proves that they’re alive, thrilling, and constantly evolving.
Now, with “Power Thrash,” the band distills a decade of intensity into a short, sharp raid: A celebration of the genre they helped revive and a nod to the roots that shaped them. Fast, fierce and over the top, this track is pure VULTURE – authentic metal made for the diehards. Watch out: The Blade Is Back!
The band comments, “After ten years of VULTURE including eight years under the sign of the Metal Blade, it felt more than necessary to herald the next decade with a proper celebration. Because ‘Power Thrash’ is just that: A celebration to the genre and to the essence of what is VULTURE. Throughout all these years, we’ve constantly tried to evolve, to reshape our sound while remaining deeply rooted in our aesthetics. ‘Power Thrash’ feels like the next step to an even more powerful and deadlier VULTURE than before. Straight to the point, brutal and faster than light!”

“A band by metal lovers for metal lovers!“ – Manuel Stein, Fuze Magazine
“There are not too many bands that can touch Germany’s VULTURE when it comes to furious speed and thrash metal! They learned from the best: Exciter, Nasty Savage, and Razor come to mind. Mix this with some classic Judas Priest and you’ll get the picture. Great band!” – Götz Kühnemund, Editor-In-Chief Deaf Forever Magazine
“Thrashy speed in the style of early Razor, Exciter, or Agent Steel meets the work of European steel pioneers such as Judas Priest and Accept. VULTURE have taken the scene by storm with their intoxicating blend. Even after ten years, the German maniacs still sound as hungry as on the first day.” – Ludwig Krammer, Rock Hard Germany
“Ten years of VULTURE, ten years of fast thrash metal at its very best. From the heart of the Ruhr area to the world. If you like the very early Helloween or Living Death, you can’t get past this band.” – Marc Halupczok, Metal Hammer Germany
