Vex & The Burning Veils bring forth a bold presence with their first release, “Get Me Off”. The aggressive and fearless nature of their explorations of sexuality, control, and self-discovery is apparent throughout their lyrics. The band mixes elements of alte-rock, dark pop, and borderline metal to create a raw, electric atmosphere. The listeners are captivated from the very start.
The opening instrumentation is heavy, setting the mood perfectly for Vex’s vocals. She carries a seductive energy that pulls the listener in – commanding yet vulnerable, playful yet defiant. The changes in tone and intensity allow for a perfect blend between the slow verses filled with moody tension, and the explosive choruses filled with powerful drums and crashing guitars. These contrasts allow for the song’s theme of empowerment found in surrender to shine through. The inner conflict between personal desire and societal expectations is not only present but celebrated in the lyrics of “Get Me Off”, which makes the piece unapologetic. Vex displays that control is still in her hands and submission does not equal weakness. Even though the words are fierce and daring, many will still connect with the exploration in relatability.
The energy of the band is palpable in the polished yet gritty production. There are even some hints of industrial background elements combined with subtle electronic infusions into the rock. The song itself speaks volumes given its heavy instrumentation. With “Get Me Off”, Vex & The Burning Veils prove they are here to push boundaries. This isn’t just a song – it is a statement. For this band from the UK, if this is just the beginning, it looks incredibly exciting.
