Vanity of Reason

About Me


Metal, with all its elements, is one of the overall genres of today. Melodic and mosh parts, epic tales and clear statements, fun and seriousness - everything is possible. We use all these bits and pieces to deal with a fundamental question: How to live in this instable, always changing and challenging urban society?
Everything we love, everything we hate, everything that drives us, pushes us to our limits and everything that holds us back and knocks us down. All these facets, that is what living in the city consists of. And all that is Vanity of Reason. They influence us and we reflect on them and influence back.
We do not offer solutions, we merely present our way and how we look at the world. And hell yeah, this world can be a fucking crazy place from time to time. But every now and then we allow ourselfs a bit of vanity. The luxury to stop and think. After some troubles in the past year Vanity of Reason has a new man on the mic. A lot has changed since then and there is more change to come. But one thing will not change - the desire to push forward.
Because sometimes, when all hope seems lost, turn to art (music in our case) and you will create something beautiful...

In the presence of the 09

A new year has begun. 12 new months of madness and reason ahead. As the people say "Everyday is the beginning of a new life".  New demons will emerge from the deepest circles of our personal hell. And...
