For Fans Of
Dystopia, Eyehategod, Acid Bath, Grief

Crushing, aggressive, and uncompromisingly heavy, VULGARIAN has sought to bring sludge metal back to its roots: hardcore punk aesthetics and ideology meet walls of tube amplifier distortion, heavy doom riffage, and agonizing passages of feedback.

Since 2016, the band has integrated the frenetic energy of punk influences like DISCHARGE and EXTREME NOISE TERROR with a heavy dose of old school southern sludge like EYEHATEGOD and ACID BATH. Their latest full-length album “Cost of a Bullet” (January 23, 2026) further polarizes those influences, weaving blistering grindcore passages through glacial doom metal dirges.

True to their anti-capitalist, anti-fascist punk roots, VULGARIAN’s lyrics lament the systematic violence, inequity, oppression, excesses, and failures of the western world. Live performances feature rants that antagonize and energize the audience, and frequently see the vocalist departing the stage to perform from within the crowd — or, more frequently, the circle pit.

VULGARIAN has played countless shows with this attitude and have established a reputation for their engaging, invigorating, and exciting live performances. This attracts punks and metalheads alike, growing a devoted and uniquely heterogeneous fanbase.
