Vile Creature
Vile Creature are a Canadian heavy metal band from Hamilton, Ontario. They are most noted for their 2020 album Glory, Glory! Apathy Took Helm!, which received a Juno Award nomination for Heavy Metal Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2021.
The band consists of guitarist and vocalist KW Campol and drummer and vocalist Vic, a couple who both identify as queer and make music from a progressive activist perspective. In addition to their musical career, they operate the Coven Plant Based Marketplace, a vegan food store in Hamilton, and KW is part owner of a tattoo shop, Sleepy Bones.
The duo released their first album, A Steady Descent Into the Soil, in 2015, and followed up with the EP A Pessimistic Doomsayer in 2017 and the album Cast of Static and Smoke in 2018. In 2019, after signing to Prosthetic Records, they released Preservation Rituals (2015-2018), a compilation album which combined all three of the earlier releases.
In 2022, Campol co-founded the Perpetual Flame Ministries record label alongside American musician Kristin Hayter.
