A high-octane rock anthem with hard-hitting riffs and fiery solos, ‘Up All Night’ is Void Vanguard’s latest alternative rock release. An unquestionably heavy song with stellar talent in its forefront.
Canadian group hailing from Vancouver, Void Vanguard is masterminded by British/Canadian musician Alfred Hermida whose growing up surrounded by iconic British bands like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden can be easily seen in his boldness of delivering his blazing riffs and hammering rhythms, all of which can be found in abundance on the group’s latest release ‘Up All Night’.
In the very front of this song’s stellar mix is the classic interplay between the showstopping fierceness of a talented frontwoman and the deadeye precision on the distorted guitar riffs. A formula that’s tried and true, this front section perfectly encapsulates the enthralling spirit on nightly rebellion with intoxicating vocals and a musical landscape that’s simple enough to get hammered into our subconscious, while being nuanced enough to leave a lasting impact. The solos which delve into unexplored harmonic territories is a particularly delightful part of the song that reminded me in some ways to the music of legendary Swedish outfit Ghost.
With a confident rhythm section solidly driving the whole arrangement forward, creating ample space for the vocal and guitar mania to unfold, ‘Up All Night’ checks all the boxes. A dazzling array of vocal and songwriting talent, a bold and open-faced character, and a mix that effortlessly binds it all together.
