Vampire Squid is probably the most amazing band you will ever hear. Fusing Dynamic Polyrythms that twirl and spin with Soaring Melodies only to become Drunken Circus strains that stumble across a swamp of Orchestral Events. Seven musicians that love music for music. A real bunch of drunkards. Toss that Mozart out the fucking window, if you want smart kids, play Vampire Squid for your babies.
Details are scarce on this mysterious group, but legend has it that in ancient times, when The Vampire Squid ruled supreme over his cephalopod bretheren, there rose a brilliantly jeweled and many splendored palace in the center of the Tethys Sea. Descended from an ancient and powerful race of spacefaring entities, the cephalopods were the masters of a puny two-legged race:humans. After Eons of bloody war, the humans managed to pull The Vampire Squid from power, and banished them and their cohorts to the depths.
This band professes a desire to bring back the Cephalopods' ruling glory through otherworldy melodies, and mesmerizing rythms. Join them if you wish to be on the side of might.
I am honoured that you like my music. I clicked on you because of your name - no, I don't have a fixation on vampires but one of my songs is about a vampiress so it catches my eye when someone has a vampire in the name! So, that's how I found you and I love your music. I think I must have listened to all the songs in your profile twice yesterday. And I would listen again today except that I am recording.
Thanks for adding me. I will for sure be back here. This is the type of hard rock that I really love, and I'm very picky! - not on purpose - I kind of can't help it :D
I'm throwing this idea out to a bunch of bands and labels to see what may come of this promotional tactic. I'm trying to sell my art. This consists of me doing band flyers, t-shirt designs, cd covers, inserts, backings, lettering, custom paintings and photographs for money. I'm a cheap whore and I won't bust heads, especially with Louisville natives. If you need art for something, look at my paintings and/or photographs and then contact me if my services are needed.
