Victim Royal are a 5 piece metal band hailing from Belfast. They are comprised of Adam Scullion, Guy Reed, Rory Longwell, Peter Bowden and Andy Bowden. They have been mastering their craft for a number of years on the live scene and are currently semi finalists in the Bulleit Battle Of The Bands. Having released their debut self titled EP back in 2016, they now return with a new EP "Do It Again, But Better". The EP opens with "Umpire" which begins gently before absolutely walloping your face with a Slayeresque quality of duelling guitars, impressive vocals and some incredible drumming. "Merchant Banker" again has brilliant drums accompanying a killer underlying guitar riff. The vocals are raw and clearly full of emotion and energy. The middle section is straight out of the System Of A Down playbook. The head banging, fist punching "Swamp Monster" is a thing of beauty. 2 Minutes and 52 seconds of awesomeness. Stick it on repeat and
