Vordermann – Feeding on Fireworks
Self released – 2026
Rock, Metal, Post, Prog, Sludge
Rated: ***
After that fine, atmospheric and eclectic three track called Feeding On Flowers, the five piece from Stoke on Trent, UK named Vordermann returns with a follow up called Feeding on Fireworks! It follows the same strain of composition, sound color and feels like Feeding on Fireworks is the explosive celebration of everything that seems to make Vordermann a compelling force for the future of modern heavy music… They continue to blend sludge, doom, post rock, shoegaze, alternative rock and even pop influences with such effortless confidence, that the three tracks demand to be repeated with no end. They create a vibrant tapestry, where crushing moments of riffs bloom into shimmering atmospheres and bittersweet sour-laced vocal harmonies cut through it all with striking clarity.
Rich in texture and endlessly rewarding to explore, the EP balances raw power with genuine emotional resonance, proving that melody and heaviness can burn brighter together than apart. And on this second EP, the Vordermann five, naturally embrace what they have already set as the boundaries of their sound. And deliver that sound and those color with fearless creativity. It’s a release that once again thrives on contrast, this time the contrast being intimate and immense. Feeding on Fireworks, feels like a dazzling statement of intent… Especially when one listens to Something Sacred, Something Terrible, a true celebration of transformation, intensity and limitless possibilities if one goes beyond convention.. And Vordermann continues to do so!
Feeding on Fireworks comes out on August 7th, but you can check out their earlier EP Feeding On Flowers right now and get ready for the explosive continuation..
