Vamps

Vamps is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Sid Wilson, Apocalyptica, Shampoo and Hyde. Those roots explain a lot about how Vamps arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Lynch., Luna Sea, X Japan, Hide and DIR EN GREY, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Alexandros, Apocalyptica, Danzig, Sid Wilson and Sixx:A.M., where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around Vamps, reaching back through Sid Wilson and forward to Alexandros. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Vamps is a Japanese rock duo formed in 2008 by Hyde and K.A.Z. Only a year after their founding, Vamps performed its first international tour, ten dates in the United States, and in 2010 they went on their first world tour. Originally signed to Hyde's own record label Vamprose, every release the band has had to date has reached the top ten on the Oricon music chart. In 2013, the group changed labels to Universal Music Group's Delicious Deli Records and produced their worldwide debut release. After several tours and collaborations with Western acts, Vamps worked with outside producers and songwriters for the first time on the 2017 album Underworld before temporarily ceasing all activities at the end of that year.
