Vindecate LP

Five years passed between full-lengths before the Cincinnati band fronted by Andy Biersack delivered Vindicate, their sixth studio album and fourteen tracks heavier on atmosphere than their early-2010s material. Lilith Czar shows up on "Cut," Machine Head's Robb Flynn turns up on the single "Revenger," and the band's own 20th anniversary lands around the same stretch. This pressing glows in the dark. Make of that what you will.
