Despite the genre being inherently silly, it’s all too rare that you encounter a metal band willing to take the piss while they’re rocking your face off. Ontario’s VHS<\/strong> is that rare band\u2014even while they’re cooking with gas, they keep it light and aren’t afraid to make fun of themselves while they’re doing it. I Heard They Suck…Blood<\/em> is the next logical step in their evolution, and it’s one you don’t want to miss out on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These here Canadian boys have been kicking around since 2015, and if you’re a regular in the Toilet their name should already be ringing in your ears. Guitarist\/vocalist Mike Hochins and the band’s music have each appeared on Toilet<\/a> Radio<\/a>. Regular readers will also find themselves familiar with the band’s M.O.: horror movie samples, slamming low-tuned riffs, short songs built around the almighty riff, and themes\/lyrics built around obscure horror flicks.<\/p>\n

For those who love that formula and their sound, here’s the good news: they’re all still here. You’ve got riffs galore. You’ve got samples from plenty of movies and even a Simpsons episode. You’ve got the obvious vampire horror theme. You’ve also got a grueling production schedule, at least by modern standards. This is their 4th album in as many years, somehow matching Revocation<\/strong>‘s mid-2010s run.<\/p>\n
