As previously reported, Vials of Wrath, the Christian-based black/ambient metal solo project of Dempsey “DC” Mills [picture] will re-release its debut EP “Let There Be Light” on July 23 via Black Metal Underground Records / Martyrdom Records. A promo song ‘The Shadow of Death’ was recently posted online, the song can also be streamed below.
‘The Shadow of Death’ is a previously unreleased track from early VoW material in the blackened death metal style; included as a bonus track on “Let There Be Light”. The EP will be completely remastered and released as a limited edition of 50 copies. For those who may not have heard them, these early VoW songs are more in the “blackened death-metal” style than Seeking Refuge; for fans of Dissection, Dark Tranquillity or maybe even Dimmu Borgir.
Vials of Wrath has released a full lenght album of material, titled “Seeking Refuge,” last April 23rd, 2013. DC is a former rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist for Bloodline Severed – a Christian deathcore band currently signed to Red Cord Records.
“Seeking Refuge” Album Review Quote:
“This is an incredible debut release and especially as a solo project. Production quality is excellent throughout and the arrangements are very well done. I would have liked to have heard the drums a bit more pronounced or defined, but that is primarily my own taste. In the end, there is so much good here that this is one of those albums that will get a lot of play”.

Lyrics: ‘The Shadow of Death’
In the void of despair, fear grips me without warning. When my faith is weak, it takes hold.
Alone in my thoughts, like death, voices of doubt rise to take hold, leave me cold.
Crying out in desperation
In the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
There’s darkness closing in
Yet whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my light and salvation!
Alone in my thoughts, like death, voices of doubt rise to take hold, leave me cold.
Crying out in desperation
In the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
