Interview: Virtue In Vain

So how has your latest album/EP gone so far with fans then?

Dusk // Dawn really went down well. We really found our style and what our sound is. It still surprises us how well that EP has gone down.

Tell us something about the release no one knows?

The single has many many different versions. At one point it had a clean section that we played around with but decided against. Honestly ‘The Whispers Of Sleep’ really took a while for us to decide how it should go and flow.

If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?

Make Them Suffer. They are a big source of inspiration for us and have helped our band in terms of style as well as taught two members guitar.

How has your latest release been received?

Our latest single has gone down very well. We didn’t expect it to be so well received and it has been an eye opener for us to go down that avenue without style.

Can you tell us about the meaning behind the track?

Our latest single is called ‘ The Whispers Of Sleep’. The Whispers Of Sleep came about from a nightmare a member of the band had. At one point he wasn’t sure if he was awake or sleeping and even when he woke he wasn’t sure what was real and not. This song is built upon that feeling at that moment. The song also incorporates how our dreams/nightmares are created from our subconscious and how it makes moments from our past, be it places or people, feel so real.

What tours do you have coming up, and what can you tell us about them?

We have an unannounced tour coming up soon and some in the future. All we can say is we are coming to new places with a brand new version of our live show.

What venue are you most looking forward to playing the most, and why?

That’s a good question. I would say Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff. We have no plans or booked a show there, however that is a venue we would love to play for sure.

What else can we expect from in 2022?

We just released some new merch so please go check that out. We may have a show or two left this year for everyone to come down to.
