With their debut single “Shroud” receiving its global premiere last night on the BBC Radio 1 Rock show with Daniel P Carter, we are very excited to introduce you to VOWER, an incredible new project featuring ex-members of Black Peaks, Palm Reader and Toska. The band, which comprises Rabea Massaad (Toska), Joe Gosney (Black Peaks/Palm Reader), Liam Kearley (Black Peaks), Josh Mckeown (Palm Reader), and Rory McLean, have unleashed a gigantic first single in the shape of “Shroud” via on Apricity Records. Watch the video now!

 

Speaking of the single, Vower said “Shroud was one of the first bits of music we wrote and has acted as a catalyst for all the music that has come after. It’s an important piece of music for us and marks the first chapter of this band. The song is about seeing things for what they really are, the lifting of a Shroud.”

Whether through friendship and camaraderie or adoration and respect, when you make a vow, you put your heart and soul into everything that encompasses. There is no in-between. This is a sentiment the quintet found themselves drawn to when fate brought them together. With over a decade of touring, working, and becoming acquainted with one another in some way, shape, or form during their time in Toska, Palm Reader and Black Peaks, respectively, the last few years have allowed them to harness their experience and passion in a way they never thought they would be able to before.

The result is Vower, a project that serves as a new form of expression within heavy music for its five members. It is a vessel where nothing is impossible, and everything feels fun, fresh and incredibly fulfilling. Serving as a light through the darkness as much as a new close-knit community to confide in, it has become a platform for remembering why they fell in love with crafting such gargantuan sounds in the first place. More music is coming… stay tuned…
