We have been telling you a lot about The Killing Lights, the new music project by Michael Vampire, widely known for his work as frontman in Vampires Everywhere. The day has finally arrived for the release of their self titled EP and it was definitely worth the wait. The  five-song release was produced & engineered by DJ Black & Michael Vampire, mixed by Erik Ron (Motionless In White, Escape The Fate) and mastered by Sterling Sound NYC.

The EP starts right off with Until I Bleed which delivers a straight up dose of rock n roll, complete with some old school style rock guitar solos and wrapped in a modern hard rock edge. As Michael says about the song,  “Writing this song was liberating for me,I was reminiscing about all the fucked up shit that happened to me over the last five years. Everyone has their breaking point and this was mine. I just started scribbling words down on paper that eventually became the intro and I knew that this song would make an impact and hopefully help people in the same situation.”

The next track takes it even a bit heavier with Barely Breathing and has you swirling in a frenzy of double bass, powerful vocals dancing with harmonies and backing chants. It brings out a strong anthemic feel that will awaken your senses and invigorate you.

Crashing Down is absolutely my favorite track off the EP and I have already found myself compelled to put it on replay for most of the afternoon. It bleeds out passion in a dark haunting way as if your emotions and feelings are being felt captive, a very emotive song for me.

Next up is, Lies Spreading Like Fire which was the first single released off the EP and really made a strong impression on the listeners. It immediately had everyone excited for this new chapter of Music for Michael. They also released an epic video for it.  “I am beyond excited to finally release the ‘Lies Spread Like Fire’ video,” said Michael. “We all fight our own demons from time to time, and this is about standing up after the fight. We wanted to keep it as raw as possible, which I feel we achieved using L.A. street culture as the main storyline and aesthetic. This video is for all the fans and people that have stuck with me this past year. Together we will change everything.”

Check out the new video, Lies Spread Like Fire: 

The EP ends with Conversations and is another musical gem. This track starts off with an ethereal style intro amid backing vocals/screams. The song transcends through a celestial journey that will leave you in anticipation of more new music from The Killing Lights.

Make sure to head over to iTunes here and pick up the new EP. In case you missed our interview with Michael Vampire, you can check it out here:

One of the most exciting projects from this year is the new music by Michael Vampire, widely known for his work as frontman in Vampires Everywhere. Michael announced his new band, The Killing Lights and they were quickly well received by the music scene, both by Vampires Everywhere fans and many other new fans. Their music which is filled with powerful vocals and big melodies,has them definitely bringing a fresh new style to the rock and metal scene.

The Killing Lights have recorded a self-produced, self-titled five-song EP which is to be released soon.  They will play their first show on September 20th at the Sunset Music Festival in L.A. About the SSMF, Michael says, “We always seem to debut something right out the gate that we think will be big enough to showcase what we are trying to do, and I think that the Sunset Strip Music Festival is definitely that one. We are excited about it for sure. The people at the Whisky have always been a fan of Vampires,and of myself..they really believe in what we do so I am excited to be playing there.”  

They will then be playing their first headline show on October 4th in Anaheim at the Chain Reaction, then plan to tour constantly through the end of the year with an eye on releasing a full-length album in 2015. Just announced for both the Whisky a Go Go Show and the Chain Reaction show, is that Doc Coyle of God Forbid fame will be joining them on guitar. Here’s what Doc said: “Since my departure from God Forbid, I have been approached by numerous bands about joining or playing. But I can’t play with someone if I’m not feeling it. The Killing Lights music struck me with it’s deft balance between classic heavy metal riffing and hard rock nuance. The detailed and infectious songwriting this band achieved really grabbed me in addition to their dynamic approach. To say I am excited to perform with The Killing Lights would be an understatement.”

We had the opportunity to chat with Michael about this new music chapter in his life, the music industry, his connection to New Found Glory and many more great things. We are pleased to bring it to you here:

It is time to hear some new music by The Killing Lights. As we told you last year, The Killing Lights is the new chapter for music by Michael Vampire. Today they released a new song, Waste My Time that is definitely a change from their Vampires Everywhere days.  It has a great rockin sound with cool chants, powerful guitars, steady rocking drums and deep yet thundering bass.

Check out the new song, Waste My Time here:

 

The song definitely has us highly anticipating their new album. The Killing Lights are currently set to start their UK tour tomorrow in support of The Defiled. We also ran into DJ Black and Frankie Sil at NAMM 2014. Here is a couple photos from Rockin Ryan you:

We have always loved Michael Vampire and his work with Vampires Everywhere. Today Michael has announced a new chapter in his musical journal and we are very excited to follow and support him all the way. Earlier today Michael posted the following on Facebook:

FROM MICHAEL V:

I would like to personally welcome you to the new chapter in my life “The Killing Lights”. As most of you know I was involved in a near fatal car accident many years back. I feel the name The Killing Lights properly represents my struggle with this tragic event & the new chapter in my music career. We will be entering the studio in 2014 to record our debut record on Century MediaRecords. CMR has been amazing with this transition & their positive energy towards the change has been awesome. We will be doing a UK Tour in Feb. to give a glimpse of what’s to come. I have so much respect for my loyal VE fans over the years that have fought with us & stuck by us on every turn. I cannot wait for you to hear the new TKL music & see us live. Check back on Monday to hear a new demo. I love all of you & I’m excited for this next chapter in my life!

Michael V

We are very excited to hear new music and can’t wait for a tour from The Killing Lights. So make sure to head over to their social media sites and stay up to date.  We will try and see if we can bring you an interview as well.

Also, if you don’t have it already make sure to pick up Vampires Everywhere album Hellbound and Heartless which is filled with my favorite songs like Star of 666, Drug of Choice, Unholy Eyes,  and Amanda’s Song. You can pick it up here.

UPDATE NOV. 11, 2013 – The Killing Lights  posted their demo for “Don’t Turn Around”  and you can take a listen here. This song just is awesome some amazing guitar work and the vocals…. I LOVE IT!!!! I am even more excited if that is even possible for what The Killing Lights has in store for us!!!
