We say:

Vesicant is a two-piece black/death metal band who take their name from the blistering effect caused by chemical weapons such as mustard gas. The band first formed in 2013, releasing the two-track demo Edict the following year. Their debut album, Shadows of Cleansing Iron, was released in July 2017.

Vesicant describe Shadows of Cleansing Iron as “set around certain elements of the Great War, and by subtext around the parallels of a deeper nightmare world”. These themes have been echoed by reviewer Brian Krasman, highlighting how the album “zeroes in on the pain and suffering sustained by those who went to fight battles for their countries.”
