Background
Vials of Wrath is a one-piece Christian metal band, playing unblack metal and death metal music, featuring Dempsey "DC" Mills, originally from Princeton, West Virginia. Vials of Wrath was formed in 2011 when Mills was not performing with North Carolina's Christian deathcore band Bloodline Severed, but wanted to write and record in the vein of his pre-Christian musical influences. Mills started Vials of Wrath after leaving Bloodline Severed to focus on his job full time. Mills has been a Christian for 19 years, as of 2015. He is a former rhythm guitarist for Bloodline Severed. The band name comes from Revelation 16, where it states, "'Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.'"
