Following the release of debut single Asylum last week, Vended experienced another first over the weekend: their debut performance at a major festival.

The young Des Moines band – who have so far only played a handful of shows – hit their home state's Knotfest for a confident and aggressive set, which of course included a great run-through of Asylum.

Made up of Corey Taylor​’s son Griffin on vocals, Shawn 'Clown' Crahan​’s son Simon on drums, plus guitarists Cole Espeland and Connor Grodzicki, and bassist Jeramiah Pugh, it's easy (and probably a bit lazy) to say that the band take after their dads in Slipknot… but, well, it's abundantly clear that their metal talent runs in the family.

Check out some fan-shot videos from their set at Knotfest Iowa below:

Vended will play Knotfest Los Angeles in November, plus Knotfest Chile and Knofest Brasil in 2022.
