Well, it\u2019s been building for a while. Over the past few years, VOWWS \u2014 singer\/keyboardist Rizz and singer\/guitarist Matt James \u2014 have carved out their own lane with a moody, immersive blend of industrial electronica and alt-rock. Their fanbase includes legends like Deftones, Gary Numan, Billy Corgan, and of course, the very artists who now appear on this latest track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I&#8217;ll fill you house with an army\u2019 is shaping up to be their boldest statement yet. Over two years in the making, the album started as a collection of demos carefully refined with the help of Billy Howerdel (A Perfect Circle). Rather than rush something out, the duo focused on crafting a record that\u2019s rich with intention \u2014 a kind of quiet rebellion against the churn-and-burn pace of today\u2019s music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And their artistry isn\u2019t just resonating with fellow musicians \u2014 fashion\u2019s been taking notes, too. VOWWS have collaborated with the likes of Comme des Gar\u00e7ons, Alyx, Givenchy, and Byredo, proving their aesthetic vision extends far beyond the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of stages\u2026 VOWWS are in full tour mode this summer, hitting the road with Alice In Chains\u2019 Jerry Cantrell across Europe, plus festival appearances at Rock Am Ring, Hellfest, Download Festival, and more. They\u2019ve also just been announced as special guests for The Smashing Pumpkins\u2019 massive Gunnersbury Park show in London this August.
