A.k.a. The Killing Lights
American metal band from Los Angeles, California. Founded 2009 by Michael Orlando (a.k.a. Michael Vampire), the band's name came from the movie "The Lost Boys", "Vampires Everywhere!" being the comic book, in the movie, that explains the rules of vampires and how to kill them. In 2010, the band released their debut EP Lost In The Shadows. The first single and music video entitled “Immortal Love” was directed Scott Hanson who'd previously worked with A Day to Remember, Carnifex, A Skylit Drive and Alesana and recieved strong airplay on MTV 2 (Headbangers Ball), Heavy Rotation and Fuse On-Demand. Throughout 2010 the group toured through the USA and Canada several times with acts including Escape The Fate, Eyes Set To Kill, Dr. Acula and opened for X Japan and Murderdolls. They also played in Austin Texas at SXSW 2010 with D.R.U.G.S., VersaEmerge and Black Veil Brides. They finished the year by releasing their Single "Undead Heart" on November 29, 2010. In 2011 Vampires released their debut album Kiss The Sun Goodbye worldwide via Hollywood Waste Records. The album reached number 19 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums and number 43 on the Top Independent Albums (Billboard). 2011 also saw a change of line up as Alex Rouge and David Darko left the band to formed their own band called The Automatic Me. The band continued to tour playing at the Sunset Strip Music Festival and on the "Something Wicked This Way Comes Tour" with Wednesday 13, Polkadot Cadaver & Nightmare Sonata. In December Vampires Everywhere announced that they would be releasing a new album sometime in 2012. On April 25, 2012 bassist, Philip Kross, announced his departure from the band and was soon replaced by, Adam Vex. The bands second album, Hellbound & Heartless was released on June 19, 2012, presenting a drastical change from softer post-hardcore scream-style music to a heavier industrial metal The band then embarked on the mammoth summer 2012 Vans Warped Tour before hitting the road again with Alesana, In Fear and Faith, and Glamour of the Kill, in October On November 10, 2013 Michael Vampire posted a message on Facebook stating a changing of the band's name. I would like to personally welcome you to the new chapter in my life "The Killing Lights". As most of you know I was involved in a near fatal car accident many years back. I feel the name The Killing Lights properly represents my struggle with this tragic event & the new chapter in my music career. We will be entering the studio in 2014 to record our debut record on Century Media Records. CMR has been amazing with this transition & their positive energy towards the change has been awesome. We will be doing a UK Tour in Feb. to give a glimpse of what's to come. I have so much respect for my loyal VE fans over the years that have fought with us & stuck by us on every turn. I cannot wait for you to hear the new TKL music & see us live. Check back on Monday to hear a new demo. I love all of you & I'm excited for this next chapter in my life! Michael V TKL
