Vampires Everywhere release new song, Black Betty

December 18, 2015

  Los Angeles rockers VAMPIRES EVERYWHERE have released their brand new single, “Black Betty.”  The song will be featured on their forthcoming full-length album, ‘Ritual’ due out in early 2016.  Vocalist Michael Vampire explains, “This song is special to me because it represents a part of my life where someone I cared about betrayed my trust. I learned a lot from that situation in particular and thought it to be song worthy.  The human desire for fame and recognition spark some of our most primitive actions.” Check out the  new song here: The new album, ‘Ritual’ was produced by Matt Good [From First To Last, DRUGS], mixed by David Bendeth [Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore], and will serve as the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Hellbound and Heartless.’ In case you missed the album teaser, check it out here: Make sure to visit their social media sites so you can stay up to date on all the latest news. ~ Enjoy, Marisol Information & Links: Website: www.facebook.com/VampiresEverywhere Facebook:  www.facebook.com/VampiresEverywhere Twitter: https://twitter.com/Vamp_Everywhere Youtube: www.youtube.com/VampiresEverywhereTV
