Michigan based goth act Vvmpyre have just released their full-length debut LP, “Neon Night Fright” after a series of singles. You can expect a mix of horror with gothic guitars and dance beats.

Vvmpyre initially started out as a DJ on Nightride FM, but slowly evolved from being a mashup artist that dabbled in darksynth production to fully embracing darkwave. Several remixes later a few maxi singles followed, and now there’s the full album.

On the album we find the following guest singers: Brandon Ashley on guitar, plus vocalists Maverick & Jennifer Wilde and Sandra Bullet next to Oceanside85 and Upon Her Eyes.

“Neon Night Fright” is available on all major digital platforms including Bandcamp.

Here’s the video for “Atrocity”.
