Aural Vampire (オーラルヴァンパイア) is a Japanese industrial/electronic unit formed by Exo-Chika (vocals, lyrics) and Raveman (keyboards/synths, composition). Both members knew each other since highschool, where they were classmates and shared their interests in western horror movies and peculiar art. After they finished school, both started making music. Later they decided to form Aural Vampire, where Exo-Chika is in the role of a vampire and Raveman in the role of a butcher. They became active in 2004 as an indie band, and released their full-length self-released debut album “Vampire Ecstacy” that same year. They have been invited to perform across the world, including Germany and France, and as of 2008 were signed to the major label Avex. They released their first major album “Zoltank” on 5th May 2010.
