Via Vengeance’s sound is full, layered, bold, and everything you’d expect from a full band. The sound defies genre labels. It’s influenced by heavy metal, death metal, doom metal, and yet there’s a pointedly post-metal rawness to it. This isn’t the sound of an 80’s hairband.

“Dieography” is 37 minutes of rhythmic drums, in-your-face guitar riffs, and lyrics from a life full of harsh lessons. Most one man bands use Rube Goldberg type contraptions that are more comedy than talent. Via Vengeance is one man with a mic, a guitar, and drums. The music is live and alive. No loops and no commercial BS. This is music from Shane Ocell’s soul. The fact that this powerful sound is birthed from one man keeps audiences awestruck.

Niki D’Andrea with the Phoenix New Times summed up the CD perfectly, “Via Vengeance's songs sound gritty, dense, and calculated. This is raw, hard stuff, oozing with slow, booming backbeats, and bludgeoned by stoner rock power chords.”
