Vended is an American heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, founded in 2018.[5] The band features two members who are sons of members of Slipknot: singer Griffin Taylor is the son of Corey Taylor, and drummer Simon Crahan is the son of Shawn "Clown" Crahan.[6] Their debut self-titled album was released in September 2024.[7]

History

Vended was formed in 2018 by Griffin Taylor and Simon Crahan when they were teenagers; the duo then recruited bassist Jeremiah Pugh and guitarists Cole Espeland and Connor Grodzicki.[8] Their name is pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable: "ven-DEAD", and is based on the word vendetta.[6] The band avoided touring during their first few years due to their young age.[9]

The younger Taylor and Crahan resist comparisons of the band to Slipknot, maintaining that they are largely self-taught musicians and did not receive extensive instructions from their fathers.[10][11] This assertion has been supported by the elder Taylor and Crahan.[12][13][14]

Their first live performance was in Des Moines in March 2020,[15] just before being forced to go on hiatus by the COVID-19 pandemic. They released their first recording, the single "Asylum", in September 2021.[16] Vended released their second single, "Burn My Misery", in October. The five-song EP What Is It//Kill It was released in November 2021.[17][18]

In late 2022, Vended toured the United States with Jinjer and P.O.D.[19] The band also released several stand-alone singles starting in 2022.[20][21] Their first full-length album, Vended, was released in September 2024.[22] Grodzicki left the band for personal reasons in September 2025.[23]
