Crying Vessel is a Darkwave, Goth, Post-punk, Synth-driven project from Vocalist, Guitarist and Songwriter Slade Templeton, who with drummer and band mate Basil, are considered one of the leading acts in the current revival. Their first re-vamped album "A Beautiful Curse" gained huge traction in the alternative music scenes and was considered a staple in the new revivals sound. "Killing Time", "Empty Glass" and "The Second Sleep" were treading uncharted waters in 2017 upon release and have still maintained a strong connection in many DJs and Radios playlists. "Pleaures For The Wicked" was the first album on Cleopatra Records from the three album deal the band signed on with, and was a conceptual album that was meant to be listened to from start to end as one piece. In 2022, Crying Vessel released their most sought after album to date with "Before Life Was Death", already being labelled as one of the best albums of 2022 on many websites, radio shows and magazines. The band is ecstatic to be back on the road and tours being booked for 2022 into 2023 and onward in support of their last two albums.
