Vandampire debuts new song

In a world where disappointment seems to be the norm, Vandampire’s new single, “Ultralow,” adds to the bleak outlook on humanity. The track serves as a preview of the band’s upcoming album, Hope Scars, which marks a new beginning for the English group. With the addition of a second guitarist, Vandampire’s sound evolves to encapsulate their distinctive musical roots, delving into the raw and chaotic realm of noise and post-metal.

The fusion of haunting atmospheres typical of post-metal with the aggressive energy of sludge metal and the raw emotion of noise rock creates a sonic experience that envelops listeners like a heavy blanket. “Ultralow” showcases Vandampire at their most intense, assaulting the senses with powerful rhythms that seethe with unease. Comprised of former members from notable screamo outfits like theywillriot! and Serena Joy, the track brims with a restless energy that refuses to be contained, even amidst the onslaught of crushing riffs and melodies that dissolve into discordant glimmers.

Whether “Ultralow” is an interpretation of noise rock and screamo in the guise of sludge metal, or a revival of sludge metal in the form of noise rock, remains open to interpretation. One thing is for certain – remaining stationary while listening to “Ultralow” is an impossible feat. Hope Scars is set to be unleashed on October 31st, and fans can secure their copy by pre-ordering the album on Bandcamp via Ripcord Records.

The impending release of Hope Scars marks a significant chapter in Vandampire’s musical journey, offering a glimpse into the band’s evolution and experimentation with their sound. With a revamped lineup and a renewed sense of purpose, Vandampire is set to redefine the boundaries of noise, sludge, and post-metal with their upcoming album. “Ultralow” serves as a visceral introduction to the intensity and urgency that defines Vandampire’s music, setting the stage for an album that promises to push the envelope of heavy, introspective music.
