London progressive metallers THE SAFETY FIRE have been hard at work on their forthcoming second album and have been documenting the process through their fantastic studio diaries. The fourth and final studio diary has now been released, and it shows the band enlisting the help of what has been dubbed the “Vest Choir”. Check out the video here:

 

Guitarist and producer Derya “Dez” Nagle comments about this uniquely dressed choir:“Nothing says community like a bunch of dudes hanging out in vests. If said dudes all decide to sing and shout in unison all the better. I would argue that church choirs would be much more popular if they encouraged members to wear vests. Vests are the future.”
