Whores and Judaism

EDITORIAL REVIEWS


VIRGIN VAMPIRES - WHORES AND JUDAISM - BLACK LP (LIMITED TO 250 COPIES)
There are many new features regarding the English band Virgin Vampires (sister of Pink Panther Project) in this second album "Whores And Judaism", the transition to the Rune Serpent Europa label and a strong change of style: every form of electronics has been abandoned for a "return" to classic gothic and "finally" Uela also has her vocal parts, alternating with the two male ones, in a complete and compact mix.

To underline the power of the album we find the featuring of Lisa Hammer of Requiem In White. The 11 songs crumble powerfully in a row one after the other, post-punk rhythms, razor-sharp guitars and a truly 80s atmosphere. Several hits "Caligulae Insanus Imperator" with Latin lyrics opens the crude dance with its powerful delirious pace. The catacomb dances continue with the two versions of Martyrdoms And Crucifixions I and II, which reveal the consistency of an album that is often blasphemous and with anti-Christian themes with the introduction: "She's a whore and on the story of a whore they built an entire Religion".

"At The Cemetery" tells of a party in a cemetery, a pogo piece, marked by a death bell, already present on some compilations and destined to become a real hit. "Are They Real Or just Me?" has a psychopathic text and a very British gait, almost reminiscent of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. Also noteworthy are "Tibet" with text in Indian and "Beautiful" with Lisa Hammer, a song that was meant to be only instrumental, embellished by the powerful voice of the American singer, perfect in this part of the album. Also noteworthy is "Medusa" which remains faithful to the trademark of the album with a very powerful voice and a catchy chorus.




The album closes with "I Feel Dead Here", almost Arabic, desert-like, with guitars and an atmosphere that recalls the best Rozz Williams and Christian Death. What can I say, for those who will have the chance to come across this album: it's a sure hit! You can't help but immediately notice its freshness, its aggressiveness and its maturity. There isn't a single phase that is subdued or that doesn't reflect the album in its total core, a milestone for the post-punk gothic genre of our times. A pleasant contemporary dive into the past.
