About the Artist

The case is still pending in a US district court.

After the raid the band dissapeared into the studio for the next... read more

Album Description

Wow what can be send about a classic? Vampire Nation has done once again and excellent job of creating complex subtle and sometimes dark ambient rhythems. This CD takes you to the heart of the dark continent and doesn't dissapoint. This is a band on the rise I highly suggest that you pick this one up!

Damn, when i first heard this record I thought it was going to be some guy singing like peter murphy or something. This record is absolutely amazing. The best way I can describe it is African Chillout music, if you can imagine that. Blends flutes, riddling synths, watery piano, and sets the tone with raging african beats and modern day beats as well. This is dark D&B and muscally proliferate songwriting. It a Jewel in a sea of Fools Gold. VN comes highly recommended!

Vampire Nation have certainly developed into a contender within the avant-garde music scene ! Styles that would bring a positive affirmation from 'Sun Ra' to 'George Clinton' , topped with a cool radical 'Fela Kuti' politico-vibe ! A Must Have ! ~Michael Saint Thomas
