Hyderabad metal greats Sledge are all set to launch their second full length album. Titled ‘VanQish’, this premier metal band is all set to conquer, armed with their guitars and the power of heavy. This is their second release post their debut album ‘Desert of Souls’ released through Times Music in 2005.

‘VanQuish’ releases this August with Nitin Rajan (ex-Morticide on vocals), Shadrach (lead and rhythm guitar), Anjani (bass), Avinash (rhythm guitar), and Suman (drums).

This second album combines Sledge’s thrash and death metal influences, making VanQuish, in their own words, “a power packed effort with monstrous riffs, pounding drums and hell-growls.” Lyrically, VanQuish, is an angry diatribe against terrorism and the general political scenario.
