Virgin Vampires, the goth trio, released a new video for the track “Medusa”, which comes off their recent album, “Whores And Judaism”, released via Rune Serpent Europa.
“Medusa”
exemplifies the raw essence of “Whores And Judaism“, delivering an authentic 80s gothic and post-punk sound. With a powerful voice and catchy chorus, the song highlights the band’s strong presence and their definitive move away from electronic influences.
It’s another example of Virgin Vampires‘ energy and their ability to create impactful, memorable songs that stay true to the album’s core identity.
“Whores And Judaism“
signals a significant change for Virgin Vampires from last year’s self-titled debut album.
Marking a dramatic stylistic shift from their electronic debut, the new album plunges headfirst into a raw, unadulterated realm of classic gothic and post-punk. Every trace of electronics has been shed in favour of searing guitars, driving rhythms, and a truly authentic 80s atmosphere.
This release also sees Uela, known for her work in sister project Pink Panther Project, stepping into the vocal spotlight, her powerful contributions seamlessly alternating with the two male voices to create a complete and cohesive sound.
The album features a powerful guest appearance from Lisa Hammer of Requiem In White, lending her formidable vocal talents to the track “Beautiful”. The 11 tracks on “Whores And Judaism” crumble powerfully, one after another, showcasing a relentless energy.
The album opens with the crude dance of “Caligulae Insanus Imperator“, featuring Latin lyrics and a powerfully delirious pace. Catacomb dances continue with the two versions of “Martyrdoms And Crucifixions I and II“, which underpin the album’s often blasphemous and anti-Christian themes, highlighted by the provocative introduction. Further highlights include “Are They Real Or just Me?“, with its psychopathic lyrics and a distinctly British gait, reminiscent of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. “Tibet” features Indian lyrics, while “I Feel Dead Here”, an almost Arabic, desert-like piece with guitars, evokes the best of Rozz Williams and Christian Death.
