Tennessee METAL

Forged in 2024, Vulture Culture is a high octane, high energy 4-piece metal band out of east Tennessee.  Stylistically weaving between melodic thrash, hardcore, and classic metal, Vulture Culture churns out blistering riffs, gut-wrenching bass, and percussive contortions alongside soaring vocal melodies and guttural aggressions.
