VVMPYRE – Offering (single)
Label: Independent
Release: 14 February 2022
Oh my what a fantastic track and video. First the video is reministant of the 70’s Hammer House of Horror movies and this is such a good thing as this is classic horror that fits in perfectly with the Gothic Darkwave of this track even though its touch of dance in the beat. This truly is a fantastic video and track the vocals and melodies all go together absolutely perfect the beautiful organ melodies give a more gothic twist to it.

Darkwave act VVMPYRE begins a new reign in blood in 2022 with a horrific new single “Offering. Inspired by vampire cults and 70’s cult horror films, ‘Offering’ is a track that personifies the leaders of these cults in an alluring anthem,
VVMPYRE creates a modernized sound with a rekindled inspiration from artists like Sisters Of Mercy and Inkubus Sukkubus.
In a search for the right voice, VVMPYRE reached out to CORLYX singer Caitlin Stokes. VVMPYRE’s twisted imagination is met with a set of lyrics as if the chant to a ceremony to the backdrop of increasingly massive and infectious melodies.
Together with VVMPYRE’s production, “Offering” is a monstrous mix of classic electrogoth, 70’s horror scores, and modern darkwave to form a bloody anthem that unleashes a barrage of hooks. Brandon Ashley of DTuned Brighton Productions and The Dark adds a gripping guitar to the mix, building the track up further in the chorus and bridge, only equally met by VVMPYRE’s haunting organ melodies.
