Vampires Everywhere! have announced the title and release date of their upcoming album! The album, due out June 19th on Hollywood Waste Records, is titled "Hellbound and Heartless".

This release showcases the darker side of Vampires Everywhere!, focusing on message-driven lyrics and deriving musical influence from industrial rock icons such as Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie. ‘Hellbound and Heartless’ was co-produced by the band and Mike Sarkisyan and Tommy Decker, both members of Grammy-nominated, alternative-metal act Spineshank.

Frontman Michael Vampire of Vampires Everywhere! has broken his silence in regards to this hatred being discussed about some leaked demos flying around the net, he posted on his personal blog the following statement:

"Hi

This post is in regards to the BS you are reading & listening to on the internet! About 2 years ago before Kiss The Sun Goodbye was even a thought .. I had a “friend” haha if that’s what you call him.. help record early pre pro demos in our old lockout/storage room in N. Hollywood. We were fucking around with different melodies of which I’ve never sang before. We had to get 16 (give or take ) demos done within 3 hours so we could mix them & show the label rough ideas of what we were trying to achieve. So i sang & laid down these tracks as fast as i could singing each one for the first time.. this is called DEMO PRE PRO. This means these aren’t even the pre production demos for the record just an idea CD gathered before we entered real pre production with our real producer Fred for Kiss The Sun Goodbye. The tracks you are hearing online are 1st takes on DEMO PRE PRO, meaning useless material used for melody ideas in the rawest form possible, not to mention possibly manipulated!

Now that being said living in Hollywood Ca could be described as a Rat Race.. people stepping on other people to gain relevance. As you know i am hated.. a Lot ..for many different reasons, some of which i have no idea where they came from. I am different & yes i wear make up, sue me! Anyways my so called friend that helped us record on garage band or whatever he used.. teamed up with my haters in Hollywood & attempted to pass of BS demos as my real voice! Now not to sound condescending but if you believe those were real tracks off our main record your retarded!! Not to mention 70% of our record was Hardcore vocals & songs like “Undead Heart” “Call Out The Dead” “Heart for a HeartLess” “Ashes to Ashes” ” Teenage Dream” to name a few USE NO AUTOTUNE! What do you think ole ass Ronnie Radke came in & sang my tracks? That would be NO! The tracks that have the effect of Autotune were meant to have it! I was heavily into dance/trance type shit & wanted that effect!

Now if your still going to be ignorant and believe everything you hear on the internet ( TMZ ) COME TO A LIVE SHOW! Not just because I would love haters to pay to see me ;] but because I’ll sing right to your face! haha.. Now most people would be bashing the people that tried to pass this off as my real voice ya know my singing voice LOL ..i chose to keep them NAMELESS ..not much of a change for them! OUR UPCOMING RECORD WILL BE USING NO AUTOTUNE OR HARDTUNE FX!! THATS RIGHT.. HATERS BEWARE & THIS NEW RECORD DROPS THIS YEAR BEFORE WARPED TOUR! So this means Haters can kiss my fucking ass! I am here to stay.. I Love my fans, friends, band, management, & label. The only reason I’m even writing this is to clear any misunderstanding with the people that count ..our fans! If you don’t like that take some Autotune spread it on your lips & suck my big dick! ~ MICHAEL VAMPIRE"

When did this Vampire craze start, anyway? That is the question that has yet to be answered. Perhaps because the whole craze hadn’t even begun until Stephenie Meyer’s beloved Twilight series hit the big screens during the brink of 2009 or maybe it was Charlaine Harris’ True Blood or even The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith, either way this so-called craze has even bitten the music scene. While there has been bands before them, Aiden, Calabrese, I Am Ghost, and The 69 Eyes, all of which claim to be immortal, these bands do not compare as to what lays in Los Angele’s very own backyard. For 2010 brought forth an intriguing group of blood suckers calling themselves Vampires Everywhere!

Now the name may surprise you and sound foolish to you but these musicians mean business. “Lost In the Shadows” debuted in 2010 in of all places, Hot Topic. Since the day it dropped it marked a whole another tale to be told. Now that a year has gone by Vampires Everywhere! had gotten signed to two labels Century Media/Hollywood Waste Records in which they spent the time writing and recording their debut full-length, titled “Kiss The Sun Goodbye”.

Previously recorded tracks "Bury Me Alive", "Immortal Love", and "The Embrace", have been brought back from the dead and their EP and re-done really materializing a growth and evolution in their musical attributes. Whilst these tunes have been heard before there have been others that have just been released via frontman Michael Vampire’s journey entries. He created a series of five video entries that showcase a young girl running for her life as she faces the transition of becoming an immortal.

During which the five video run consists of such tunes as “Children of the Night”, and “Bleeding Rain” that features a guest appearance by WiL of Aiden/William Control, who adds his own texture of musical influence by eerily provoking the listener. Whereas “Lipstick Lies", returns to the styling's that "Bury Me Alive", and "Immortal Love" had except it introduces a breakdown which makes the sound flow great with the music. "Carnage at the Castle", consists of that emotional atmosphere having a chorus structure that maintains the clean vocals and screaming ones in an on and off pattern.

When it comes down it Vampires Everywhere! has made it fact rather than fiction that once you "Kiss The Sun Goodbye" there is no turning back.

New found company Hollywood Waste has found another use of its project source by introducing a record company, Hollywood Waste Records. As we've alluded to – this project is certainly much bigger than club promotions, though our club nights will continue and we plan to bring Hollywood to many more cities!

Hollywood Waste as a larger-encompassing project has many more layers that will be announced in pieces over the course of 2011. You are all invited to be a part of writing this story as we unveil what is behind our curtains. We’re very excited to share Hollywood Waste Records and our first band VAMPIRES EVERYWHERE! whose album, Kiss The Sun Goodbye,  will be available May 17, 2011. Hollywood Waste, a new chapter of The Century Family, will brand a unique entertainment-project for a whole new audience. We will be signing theatrical rock/pop acts – some of which you may already be well acquainted with, while others will be new to the family. We will be announcing new signings in the coming months. So pull up a chair, grab some popcorn, and get ready for the show – this is the beginning of Hollywood Waste.
