Following the release of their most brutal, vicious critically acclaimed album, 2023’s ‘Negative Energy’, UK alt-metal force VEXED returns with an official video for its most poignant offering, “It’s not the end”. This title is a tribute to a deceased loved one, acknowledging struggles in the grieving process.
VEXED has received incredible praise from national and international press for ‘Negative Energy.’ Top nods include being named one of the best albums of 2023 by Metal Hammer UK, the anthem “Anti-Fetish” airing on BBC’s Radio 1 Rock Show and SiriusXM Liquid Metal, and “Trauma Euphoria” being spun on Kerrang! Radio’s Fresh Blood show.

Megan Targett on “It’s not the end”:
“How do you carry on living when someone you love dies? The grieving process knows no concept of time, and death becomes the sole point of reference to navigate life. ‘It’s not the end‘ pays tribute to those we have deeply loved and lost, while also acknowledging the pain and loneliness that accompany those beautiful memories.”
‘Negative Energy’ achieves pinnacle musicianship and gripping, profound, and brave lyricism. Instead of opting for forced positivity like many of their contemporaries, the Hertfordshire three-piece channel every ounce of their “negative energy” into these 13 tracks – recharging themselves for an uphill battle. ‘Negative Energy’ proves itself as a stunning, devastating musical conduit – ventilating the band’s pain-stricken burdens and breathing life into their fresh approach, delivered with a vengeance.
