Is now at the pressing plants.

ENERGY VAMPIRES - Energy Vampires

In 1989 ENERGY VAMPIRES rose out of the ashes of the cult legendary US Metal band SLAUTER XSTROYES whom I happen to think are one of the greatest metal bands ever. The only member from SLAUTER XSTROYES to form this band was lead vocalist Jonathon Stewart, which to me is still one of the best vocalists ever. Infact, he's right up there with legandary voices such as Rob Halford and King Diamond, if not better. The music is very much a continuation of legendary SLAUTER XSTROYES sound and even 2 songs from the SLAUTER days were re-recorded on this album. This was originally only released as a tape of 500 copies back in the early 90's. You can check out some great videos of them on www.youtube.com. Absolutely essential album with bonus tracks. One of the bonus songs was just recently finished in 2007 as an extra treat for you and me! Both CD and LP versions will have some of the most amazing band photos I've ever seen. Artwork done by the well respected Dimitar, highlighting the definition of what an ENERGY VAMPIRE is.

The artwork will look a little less slick when I put it on Reverse board... no worries... This is what the band wanted.

From what I'm told, I think a lot of these songs were SLAUTER XSTROYES - Winterkill era songs that weren't used back then... but I'm not sure. I know for sure this sounds like a mid-80's release. I'm 100% pleased with how everything turned out.

16 page full color CD booklet... gatefold vinyl... it's gonna be a grand release.

Can you post the tracklist? that should answer it if we recognize any songtitles.

Hoping to hear any "Saints Revenge" mayhem, huh? I do hope anyway.

The tracklist is on my site. But I don't recognise those song titles from the unreleased stuff they had....
