Supergroups involving members of active bands can be a dicey proposition, but VHOL are off to a roaring start. Guitarist John Cobbett (Hammers Of Misfortune, Ludicra) rounds up old comrades — bassist Sigrid Sheie (HOM) and drummer Aesop Dekker (Ludicra, Agalloch) — to back up the wild-man vocals of YOB frontman Mike Scheidt. Together, they plunge into the analog-toned void between black metal, thrash, and traditional ’70s riffage. –Doug [LISTEN]
