Post your comments about our Aural Vampire Interview and let us know what you thought of them.

“The Aural Vampire style originated from combining my musical roots in New Wave and Techno with our love for horror films. It just happened to share certain elements with gothic culture. It wasn’t until we started to get more exposed to the Japanese goth scene that we became conscious of it ourselves.” – RAVEMAN

October 31st might be the time most people don fangs and scary masks, but for a talented Japanese duo called Aural Vampire, everyday is Halloween. Assuming the guise of vampiress and serial killer, EXO-CHIKA and RAVEMAN have something no amount of makeup and costumes and create: genuine musical talent. With popping songs like Hot Blood Workout and Freeeze!!, RAVEMAN and EXO-CHIKA treat their fans to a gothic feast for both the eyes and ears.

With a new album deep in the works and several recent shows in the US and Germany to talk about, come pour yourself a glass of dark red wine and learn the answer to that question of questions: How many masks does RAVEMAN own?

On October 11, 2009 the members of Aural Vampire were kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Aural Vampire Interview.
