Dead Poetic chronology

Vices is the third full-length album by Christian hard rock band Dead Poetic. The album was released on October 31, 2006 through Tooth & Nail Records. Aaron Sprinkle once again produced the album, and Chino Moreno of Deftones contributed guest vocals to "Paralytic." Lead vocalist Brandon Rike left the band shortly before the album's release and the band's remaining members opted not to continue with the band, although recently it has been stated that the band has not broken up, and will continue writing music.

The album is a departure from Dead Poetic's earlier work in many ways. First, only Rike and guitarist Zach Miles remained from the band's lineup on its 2004 breakthrough, New Medicines. Second, Rike does not scream on the record, thus abandoning the band's earlier post-hardcore sound in favor of straight-up rock & roll. Finally, as a result of this shift in styles, Vices is released solely through Tooth & Nail, not through Tooth & Nail's heavier subsidiary Solid State Records, which released the band's first two albums.

Vices peaked at #7 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart.

gollark: What about an add multiple codes feature?

gollark: It's only really a problem if you get eggs in groups for some reason.

gollark: Basically, it'd be *possible* but slow and unpleasant.

gollark: Oh, and that.

gollark: The scroll page is a giant tables thing, plus I must note that they won't always be on page 1.
