"Vice Grip" broke cover on 10 September 2015, a couple of weeks before Ire, the fifth studio album from Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive, arrived through Resist and Epitaph. Ire was the record where they stopped cramming new ideas into the old mold: Winston McCall has said that in the past any outside influence got swallowed by the Parkway Drive formula, so this time every oddball idea got chased all the way through. Reviewers duly picked up on the fresh influences.
The song carries a four-way writing credit for McCall, drummer Ben Gordon and guitarists Luke Kilpatrick and Jeff Ling, with Jia O'Connor on bass and McCall out front on lead vocals. Peter Rutcho mixed it.
