Horror Rockers VAMPIRES EVERYWHERE Release New Five Song EP ‘The Awakening’ via Cleopatra Records
Las Vegas-based horror rockers Vampires Everywhere have today released their long-awaited EP, ‘The Awakening’ (out via Cleopatra Records). In celebration of the new EP, the band has also dropped the music video for their interpretation of The Weeknd‘s hit single “The Hills”. Leading up to release day, Vampires Everywhere have shared tracks “WITCH”, resurrecting the band from a 5-year hiatus, and most recently “Death Of Me”. Not only that, but the band kicks off their US tour today and has also announced that their fans across the pond will have the opportunity to see them in London in April 2022. Speaking on today’s news, front-man Michael Vampire comments:
“It’s absolutely insane to me that I’m releasing another piece of work under the Vampires Everywhere moniker! It’s such an amazing feeling bringing this band back full circle and bringing it back strong. The idea of ending the hiatus dawned on me about a year ago. It’s been such a mindfuck putting all the pieces back together and for all intents and purposes, starting from scratch. The music industry is a fickle entity that must be approached with intensity and extreme vigilance, which I think we approached this comeback with all of those elements. It’s with great happiness that we release “The Awakening”, which I feel is a fresh but nostalgic body of work that represents VE 3.0. Self-produced by me and Craig Pirtle, this EP is personal and not dated! We wanted an album that would pull at the heartstrings of the new wave of rock but still pledge its undying loyalty to the VE fans that helped shape the band over the last 11 years. I think Matt Good did a great job mixing it! He fit us in right before he started recording Asking Alexandria. Big thanks to Matt for making that happen.
Vampires Everywhere were conceptualized in early 2010 by Michael Orlando later known as Michael Vampire. The band started its journey in Hollywood, CA-based on the idea of bringing a fresh feel to an already saturated metalcore market. Michael has been obsessed with the 1987 cult classic film “The Lost Boys” since age 13 and wanted to start a band around his love for the movie and his passion for rock music. The band quickly gained notoriety in 2010 with their debut music video for “Immortal Love” which hit half a million views and landed on the iconic MTV Headbangers Ball. A few months later VE was signed to Century Media Records and toured with Black Veil Brides on the Hot Topic Tour around the United States. The band also landed an opening spot for X Japan’s first North American run playing for over 5,000 people a night and to this day is the only band to open for X Japan in the US. After an amazing run on the 2012 Warped Tour, the band was asked by Kevin Lyman to headline Rob Zombie’s Great Adventure in Pomona, CA. Vampires Everywhere have since toured with the likes of Motionless In White, AIDEN, Alesana, Orgy, Filter, Falling In Reverse, and countless others. The band is beyond excited for its new chapter in 2021 signing with iconic Los Angeles-based record label Cleopatra Records. Stay tuned for more Vampires Everywhere news coming soon.
Starting last weekend, Vampires Everywhere‘s US fans can see them on the road with Assuming We Survive, The Bunny The Bear (*on select dates), and Fate Destroyed. UK fans can also catch the band in London next spring. Tour dates below!
