about
‘There's No Escape’ has everything I enjoy in a doom song,” says vocalist Nathan Opposition. “Creativity, great riffs, solid playing, catchy harmonies - it's one of my favorites off of 'Last Ride.'”
The most refined of VESSEL OF LIGHT’s releases, Last Ride is rife with depth, harmonies, the trademark riffs and guitar sound of guitarist Dan Lorenzo and creativity while also maintaining a familiar feel. Like the first the haunting first single and title track from Last Ride, “There’s No Escape” has a sinister lyrical theme, keeping in line with the darker subjects that permeate the record.
“I'm a big fan of Vincent Price and horror movies in general,” Opposition explains. “When I was writing the lyrics, I was watching movies like ‘The Oblong Box,’ ‘The Mask of the Red Death’ and ‘Fall of the House of Usher.’ After I recorded vocals for 'There's No Escape' I re-watched ‘Diary of a Madman’ and Vincent Price's character, as an ongoing theme, is obsessed with studying the criminal mind, which really ties into the lyrics and theme of the song as well. I guess I inadvertently did that. Why are we fascinated crime, serial killers, war, death, these horrible things, yet disgusted and horrified of them at the same time? Just an interesting thought.”
