Vile Creature

Vile Creature are a Canadian heavy metal band from Hamilton, Ontario. They are most noted for their 2020 album "Glory, Glory! Apathy Took Helm!", which received a Juno Award nomination for Heavy Metal Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2021.
The band consists of guitarist and vocalist KW and drummer and vocalist Vic, a couple who both identify as queer and make music from a progressive activist perspective. In addition to their musical career, they operate the Coven Plant Based Marketplace, a vegan food store in Hamilton, and KW is part owner of a tattoo shop, Sleepy Bones.
The duo released their first album, "A Steady Descent Into the Soil", in 2015, and followed up with the EP "A Pessimistic Doomsayer" in 2017 and the album "Cast of Static and Smoke" in 2018. In 2019, after signing to Prosthetic Records, they released "Preservation Rituals (2015-2018)", a compilation album which combined all three of the earlier releases.
