Aural Vampire is the industrial/darkwave duo of Exo-Chika (vocals) and Raveman (everything else.) Raised on a diet of schlocky horror movies and German techno, the high-school friends not only have a unique sound, but an over-the-top visual presentation as well. Exo-Chika plays the only-innocent-on-the-surface front woman, while Raveman lurks in the shadows behind a blood-red Jason-esque mask and layers of military gear. Indeed their sound has a bit of KMFDM's dark and glam dance-industrial with a heavy dose of Lords of Acid's campy style. Mix that with more traditional Japanese synth-pop and you have Aural Vampire (which, by the way, is indeed a play on "oral" vampire.)
The duo has released only one album, 2004's Vampire Ecstasy (sporting a classic horror movie-style cover complete with credits,) and a download-only single, Death Folder, in 2005.
Aural Vampire has tour around the world, most notably Germany, made an appearance at Huston, TX at Anime Matsuri in March 2008 along with Nirgilis and Bespa Kumamero.
