The Bizarre, the Beautiful, and the Divine: Aural Vampire

Not many would have heard of the Japanese darkwave band Aural Vampire. Even as K-Pop and J-Pop invade North America mainstream, so far this musical duo is not yet widely known. Hailing from Tokyo, I hope that this band will catch on with dance and rave scenes to cement themselves as a musical style to watch out for.

Exo-Chika (vocals/lyrics) and Raveman (music) have created for themselves an incredibly strong image. She's vampire and he's a...something. Something stylishly creepy. The music is fast and catchy, the sound having that little extra kick to move it beyond just being dance music, into something special.
Exo-Chika is particularly cute as the fanged female fiend, wearing a mixture of industrial style fashion with a wonderland kind of twist. She is adorable and sinister, and her head-to-tow clothed counterpart only adds to the ambience.
