VCTMS

Pain Processing II EP

Self-Released

2026

 

Holy fluffin emotions Batman! This album comes in like a lion and leaves as a screaming lamb. VCTMS delivers a top-notch performance.

 

There is a rawness to this band that is simply perfect. I’m baffled that this is my first listening of them, but it’ll definitely not be my last.

 

I immediately had to run to YouTube to see their live performances and let me tell you what…..it’s better than the recordings. VCTMS is bringing you straight up rage. The emotions that bubble up and you try to shove down and ignore. The ones that make you wanna scream out loud, but instead you smile and continue. VCTMS is screaming *for* you.

 

Lyrics are peak. Music is peak. VCTMS stands on the Mount Everest of post hardcore. I really tried to pick a standout song, but what do you do when each song speaks to some level of how you feel everyday? No skips. Not even one. There’s definitely going to be plenty of replays from me.
