The foundations for Vindicator were laid in Summer 2005, with two splits in the Cleveland-area metal scene. Burgeoning thrashers Violent Night split up, while at the same time Marshall (under the guise \"Khaine\"), left the infamous black metal outfit, Black Trinity. In September, brothers Vic and Jesse, left discontent with the sudden break up of Violent Night, decided to begin searching a new musical venture. Learning that long time friend Marshall was also now without a band, Vic asked him to take on the vocal and bass duties. Thus Vindicator was born. In 2008 milestones were set with both the addition of \"Metal\" Bobby Gutter on lead guitar and the cutting of the bands debut full length, \"There Will Be Blood\". These four maniacs set out on a mission to deliver balls-out, skull-stomping, teeth-kicking, old school, thrash metal to the world. \"There Will Be Blood\" encompasses the very spirit and energy of the thrash movement of the early eighties. When Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica were changing the sound of metal forever. \"There Will Be Blood\" is sure to please metal\'s old guard as well as the youngest fans. \"You can\'t ask for much more... fast, heavy riffs, unrelenting, pounding drums, vicious, shrieking vocals, all brought together into pummeling thrash metal songs that also include catchy hooks and sing-along choruses.\" \"Overall, if you\'re into thrash, check these guys out; they deliver the goods.\" \"Vindicator are aiming to bring back the old-school sound, and they\'re doing a damn good job at it!\" -Metal-Archives
