Vampire Rodents
Lullaby Land

Metallic noises, visceral pulsations, avant-garde fragments, absolutely free from any constraint or logical sequence. And then, lysergic visions, immediate intuitions. In other words, the Vampire Rodents. These unknowns.

The project was born in the last decade, by absolute unknowns: Anton Rathausen / Daniel Vahnke and associates attempt to create a crazy and twisted music, that can hardly be categorized specifically, so much so that it is hermetic. Whatever musical genre you're talking about, with VR you always (or almost always) hit the mark (a thank you to that Pretazzo); their absence on DeB is a gap that needs to be filled.
But, as we were saying, the "land of lullabies" in question is a non-sense collage, chaotic and visionary, psychedelic and distorted, fantastic and surreal. Musical genres? Eliminated. That is, amalgamated so well as to be indistinguishable. Instrumentation? From sitar to violins, from sax to piano, from synth to percussion. Voice? Three. Which alternate. Rhythms? Never static, in continuous evolution. An extreme beat, in harmony with a sharp and damned clattering (Trilobite). Metallic and lifeless wails (Catacomb), extreme and massive delusions (Crib Death). Then trembling, almost stuttering interludes without reason (Tremulous), and images of little monsters, fantastic creatures involved in their excited vocalizations (Bosch Erotique). If "Lullaby Land" distorts reality, a sick vision of a madman in the midst of a lysergic trip, "Awaken" throws us into the midst of storms, thunder, and zombies. The sitar of Raga Rodentia evokes an oriental and princely motif, of distant lands.

A warning. That the end is near. The energy slowly drains away (Passage), a sign that a mysterious journey in a hallucinatory land has been completed. That's it. The grotesque figure on the cover gazes with a crooked and disturbing eye. The VR make experimentation their strength. Never still, in an attempt to always be original. And they succeed.

Those who don't love madness in music, stay far away from such stuff. Which is a thousand years ahead.
