Described once as “Periphery meets Disney” UK progressive metal outfit Vanitas have been forging their unique blend of djent and symphonic elements since 2022; Inspired by bands such as: Periphery, Devin Townsend and Dream Theater, Vanitas are known for their soaring melodies, cinematic production and immersive, maximalist production.
The Birmingham 5-piece have wasted no time establishing themselves in the UK music scene, previously supporting established prog-metal acts such as Monuments, Voyager, Galactic Empire & Destrage. Following the success of their sophomore EP ‘Chaos Theory’ released August 2024 and
garnering over 70K streams, Vanitas are emerging as one of the most exciting acts in modern metal, solidifying their cult following with a sold-out hometown show and debut UK tour including an appearance at Burn it Down festival and radio play from BBC Radio 1.
In August 2025, Vanitas are set to release their most ambitious EP yet: Journey to the Sun; a high-intensity concept exploring the themes of adventure, hope, hardship and triumph- Placing the listener as the protagonist of their own chronicle, Vanitas embark on a new journey and are inviting you to join them.
