VINDICTA have signed with Napalm Records and released their second single “IDOL(L)S”. The five-piece melodic metal band, fronted by vocalist Lilith, describe the song as a self-ironic reflection of society, casting themselves as the false masters of a theatrical puppet show.
“In this lifeless puppet show, we distract you. With the illusion of meaning, we zombify the audience, and we become your false masters.”

A theatrical alliance
Commenting on the partnership with Napalm Records, the band said:
“We’re genuinely excited to be joining forces with Napalm Records and to have a team that believes in what we’re creating. There’s a lot behind VINDICTA, and we believe this alliance will provide the support to let our inner engine run at full force.”

The official “IDOL(L)S” video continues the band’s visual identity of corpse paint, nun-inspired costumes and theatrical performance. The band connect the song to a larger narrative unfolding across their forthcoming album.
Lilith, the first to refuse
Lilith Grace Jane Pasturini, from the USA, fronts VINDICTA on vocals. She is described as “the first to refuse” and “the original exile”. The band’s line-up also includes guitarists Lamia Amber Maldonado (USA) and Rusalka Patri Grief (Spain), drummer Kali Gemma Sofia Salvatori (Italy) and bassist Medea Wena Velasco (USA).
