Mitchell Barlow

Guitarist, Composer (UK) 
 

Mitchell is a UK based guitarist, composer and producer who takes inspiration from the likes of Periphery, Opeth, In Flames and Nobuo Uematsu. He composes modern progressive metal, with a video game soundtrack flair, providing thick riffs and soaring orchestral elements in his releases.

 

Mitchell is the guitarist and lead songwriter of Prog-Metal Quintet Vanitas. Vanitas bring their unique blend of progressive metal and djent with orchestral elements that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Final Fantasy soundtrack. Since their formation in 2022 The Birmingham 5-piece have wasted no time establishing themselves in the UK music scene with dynamic live performances supporting acts in the past such as: Monuments, Voyager, Galactic Empire & Destrage and an appearance at Burn it Down Festival in their short time as a band so far. Mitchell is currently touring Vanitas’s latest EP release “Chaos Theory”.

 

Currently using: Varja Standard 8 String, Illumina Escalade 6 String with tremolo, Materia Classic 6 String.

 

“GOC Guitars embody an ethos of absolute quality and design perfection, they’re not only beautiful and ergonomic, but serve as the perfect ice breaker to talk nerdy about gear! I couldn’t be happier to be an artist, and if you see me out with Vanitas - feel free to ask to give them a go!”
