an interview with Vale

Oakland-based Vale are part of the once-again burgeoning Bay Area metal scene, and has in its line-up past and current members of Mutilation Rites, Black September, and Tombs. Their debut album Burden of Sight came out a few months back through The Flenser, and impressed me with its apocalyptic blend of death, black and crusty hardcore. I reached out to Vale to find out more about what brought them together. The band answered my questions together in their van while on tour.
