Vampires Everywhere! Signs With Century Media

. .

In a surprising move (to me at least) first reported on the Vampires Everywhere! MySpace Page, the band has signed with Century Media Records.

The move is surprising to me on two levels. Number one (which number two ties into) is that for any of you who are not familiar with Century Media, the label is home to bands such as Winds of Plague, Terror, Suicide Silence, and Despised Icon. Given, they are also home to Lacuna Coil; but they seem to be an exception to the rule. Head on over to the Century Media Records Website to check out the rest of the lineup.

Secondly, after watching their video for ‘Immortal Love’ (embedded below), I really wasn’t very impressed. Their use of AutoTune is way over the top. Some bands (We Came As Romans, A Skylit Drive) use it to make their melodic parts sound prettier, these guys use it to sound like robots.

Thanks, but I’ll pass.

Check out the video for ‘Immortal Love’ below and make your own decision.

PS -- Isn’t that Trishelle from MTV’s Real World?
