Vostok

One of the first bands that I really got into, that shaped my perspective on music was a band called Vostok. They had a song called "Christmas Is on Fire" that always gives/gave me the chills (this is a good sign in music). Vostok is no longer, but their music still moves. To my liking "Christmas Is on Fire" melts me right at 2:31 (listen to it from at least 1:50 to get effect) and punches again at 2:59 with vocal "screams" similar to Colour Revolt, Crystal Antlers, or Arcade Fire. I am a sucker for peaking vocals. Whether that is screaming, or just vocals clipping at the preamp. Loud distorted vocals win my heart. I would describe the song more, but perhaps you can just watch the video below and take a taste for yourself. Enjoy!
