Righteous Vendetta is a christian metal band formed in Powell, WY by lead singer Ryan Hayes. Their music can be described as a technical brand of metalcore. Their dedication to sharing the light of Jesus Christ is no less relentless than their touring schedule, bringing their music and ministry to venues across the nation. They list their musical influences as being Killswitch Engage, For Today, and As I Lay Dying among many others.

History
For many in the heavy music scene, Righteous Vendetta needs little introduction. With two full length records under their belt along with numerous tours with a show history just over 800 shows in the past 4 years, Righteous Vendetta has amassed fans in the US and abroad while honing their performance skills to a fine edge. The Wyoming-based group’s tight, technical brand of metalcore has earned them a great deal of respect as well as publicity, with features in publications such as HM, Amp, Hails and Horns, and AP. Most recently, they embarked on a European tour with veterans Spoken and Inhale Exhale, hitting half a dozen countries across central and eastern Europe. Meanwhile, Righteous Vendetta’s single ‘This Pain’ spent 15 weeks in the top 20 on Billboard’s Christian Rock chart, achieving commercial success rarely seen by bands who cut their teeth in the hardcore and metal scene, while also signaling a new creative direction for the band’s upcoming release. Look for new material from Righteous Vendetta in spring 2013.
