In conjunction with this exciting announcement, the band is set to unveil an eye-catching visualizer for their haunting track "Another Funeral Song" on March 14, released through Dark Kingdom Records. This captivating song is featured on Vampires Everywhere!'s latest full-length album, *The Devil Made Me Do It*, which boasts the blistering single "Antichrist," promising to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans and newcomers alike.
"Another Funeral Song" delivers an electrifying soundscape, characterized by its addictive clean vocals that draw listeners in. The verses are enveloped in fierce, guttural screams that add depth and intensity, culminating in a standout track that leaves a lasting impression.
"I yearned to craft a song that would resonate deeply with people's longing to be truly heard within the realms of their relationships. Sadly, it’s all too common for individuals to struggle with listening genuinely, often failing to absorb what their partners are expressing. This disconnect can evoke an overwhelming sense of loss, akin to grieving for someone as your emotions gradually fade into oblivion. One might even say it’s like experiencing 'Another Funeral Song.' Like many, I've endured countless situations where this disconnection surfaced, and I often found myself drowning in a toxic mire, clinging to the hope that things would change. Ultimately, the situation remained stagnant, and I reached the difficult decision to walk away." - Lead vocalist, Michael Vampire.

"Antichrist" is an intense and ferocious track that delivers a soundscape characterized by its overwhelmingly heavy instrumentation, which masterfully contrasts with an irresistibly catchy chorus. The song's lyrics delve into the theme of pushing societal and personal boundaries, employing a distinctive and thought-provoking approach that challenges conventional norms. With its blend of aggressive riffs and memorable hooks, "Antichrist" captures the listener's attention while provoking deeper reflection on its provocative messages.
For the past 24 years, I’ve been riding the unpredictable waves of the “Music Industry,” constantly trying to navigate through the tumultuous trials and tribulations that come with it. It feels as though I’m swimming through dark, uncharted waters, where countless obstacles lurk beneath the surface, each one demanding to be conquered in order for me to continue my journey as an artist. Running a band is no easy feat, especially in an industry dominated by powerful record labels and influential tastemakers, but that’s what makes it even more challenging—and interesting.
Vampires Everywhere! has always existed as the “outcast” band, a misfit in a world that often demands conformity. Many still grapple with the question of what we truly represent or where exactly we fit in the vast musical landscape. This confusion breeds chaos, and from that chaos, I rise—a demonic figure, misunderstood and shunned for my insistence on being starkly different. In an environment that thrives on placating those in charge, I am brutally honest and steadfast, refusing to bow down to the industry’s conventions. I have, in many ways, become the “Antichrist” of this realm.
I want my fans to understand that embracing your uniqueness and being unapologetically honest can guide you to your own personal holy land, a place of true success and fulfillment. I’m not going anywhere; I am resolute in my commitment to being an artist and expressing my genuine self. This song—this body of work—is my heartfelt tribute to that very essence of who I am. For the first time, I am pouring out my personal struggles related to this topic in a way that feels liberating, finally laying it all down on wax. - Lead vocalist, Michael Vampire.

For the past year, I yearned deeply for a tangible collection that showcased all my little victories—a testament to my journey. I craved to feel a connection, to craft something that my fans could cherish and play on repeat, finding pride in every note. After countless nights steeped in hazy, weed-infused dreams, the epiphany crystallized in my mind: I needed to gather my most cherished songs and weave them into a singular masterpiece.
Yet, being the perfectionist that I am, mere compilation wouldn’t suffice! I had a surge of lyrics swirling within me, desperate to break free. This urgency birthed two new creations: "Antichrist" and "Another Funeral Song." To me, they are essential threads that stitch together the narrative I’ve been longing to convey. Since this artistic endeavor originated from the depths of my dreams, it felt only fitting to title it "The Devil Made Me Do It." - Michael Vampire, Lead Vocalist.
