Virgin Vampires unveil "Caligulae Insanus Imperator"

Virgin Vampires, the British goth trio, released their commanding new single and video, "Caligulae Insanus Imperator". This track comes off their recent album, "Whores And Judaism", to be released via Rune Serpent Europa. 

"Caligulae Insanus Imperator" kicks off the album with a raw and unadulterated plunge into classic gothic and post-punk, showcasing the band's shift away from electronics towards a heavier, more authentic 80s sound. Featuring Latin lyrics, the song opens with a crude dance and a powerfully delirious pace, setting the tone for the album's often provocative and anti-Christian themes. This track fully embodies Virgin Vampires' new sound, moving beyond their electronic origins into a more traditional gothic and post-punk style. It also features the powerful vocal contributions of Uela, seamlessly integrating with the male voices to create a complete and cohesive sound.

Speaking about their approach, the band shared, "We’ve poured our hearts and souls into this album. For us, this isn't just another album; it's a testament to respecting tradition while pushing the boundaries of modern music."

The video for "Caligulae Insanus Imperator" is available to view now, offering a striking visual complement to the track's intense energy.

"Whores And Judaism" signals a significant change for the band, with every trace of electronics shed in favour of searing guitars, driving rhythms, and a truly authentic 80s atmosphere. This pivotal release also sees Uela – known for her work in sister project Pink Panther Project – stepping into the vocal spotlight, her powerful contributions seamlessly alternating with the two male voices to create a complete and cohesive sound.

The album features a powerful guest appearance from Lisa Hammer of Requiem In White, lending her formidable vocal talents to the track "Beautiful”.

"Whores And Judaism" will be available in two limited edition vinyl formats: 250 copies on Black LP and 250 copies on Red LP.
