Dark Daze, Bright Knights review by Jared Daniels. An album that got me through many nightly walks through the neighborhood. Sometimes I mistake the trains in Medicated for my very own that pass near by at weird hours of the morning. Anamorphic flows full of quotable gems from classic metal to Master Shake, there is no shortage of relatable hate for stupidity in this one. From introducing me to B-Sick and his unique and lovable personality, flowing over a beat I swear I heard during commercials on MTV’s TRL when I was a young buck. To having me brainstorm the modernized 2020 parody of Twiztid’s “We Don’t Die”. In my mind’s eye I can’t help but laugh every time I hear How’s That Different, Balls? as I envision VECT at his computer in a dark room in Bradford, hysterically laughing at what he’d just put together. The song also plays later in the album, very enjoyable for the weed high you’re most likely on by that time. Sunbeam Dreams holds the most integral lyric in the whole album overall, in regards to handling life problems ,”Put X amount of effort and leave it alone”. Reflecting that sometimes we spend too much time focusing on something we actually have little control of. A simple, but important lesson we should be reminded of. Old school mixing and recording techniques giving it the underground grit VECT and many other cult classics are known for, DDBK is nothing short of a stellar addition to the VECT legacy. A great listen to get someone through those DARK DAZE. Salute to you sir for staying true to your sound and keeping the villains INVECTED!!
