VindictA, the melodic metal band founded by various former members of Dogma, have scored a label deal with Napalm Records. That group came to be amid a bitter dispute between past members of Dogma and that band’s current manager. Those ex-Dogma veterans would go on to regroup together and form their own rival outfit, which amid backlash against Dogma, wound up replacing the latter on an Australian tour.
VindictA commented of aligning themselves with Napalm:
“We’re genuinely excited to be joining forces with Napalm Records and to have a team that believes in what we’re creating. There’s a lot behind VindictA, and we believe this alliance will provide the support to let our inner engine run at full force.”
The song “IDOL(L)S” begins this new era for the group, and they collectively had the following to say about it:
“And so the curtain rises on the acts of a larger theatrical narrative unfolding in our upcoming album. The spectacle takes a sinister turn. In this lifeless puppet show, we distract you. With the illusion of meaning, we zombify the audience, and we become your false masters. It’s a self-ironic reflection of society, in which it hardly matters what the masters stand for, as long as the circus keeps going. So, let’s fucking entertain you.”
