Black metal, industrial, noise and techno ear-shatterers VMO aka Violent Magic Orchestra is teaming up with art black metal infused experimental 10-piece VAMPILLIA to take their breathtaking show with insane visuals, aberrant strobe lights, and a unique, cinematic mixture of various genres, for a string of European shows this Summer, with 3 French shows featuring Neige from ALCEST as a guest vocalist! The tour will include performances at Brutal Assault festival in Czech Republic (Vampillia and VMO), Spirit in Black festival in Colmar, France (only Vampillia) and MOTOCULTOR FESTIVAL in Brittany, France (only Vampillia). Checkout the full itinerary and our quick Q&A below!
What are your associations with Europe?
We do European tours twice every years. But the album is not complete at all. We hope that our love for Europe will increase our fanbase!
How do you compare touring the Old Continent in comparison with Asia?
Europe has a nice climate. And because of the cultural differences with us, there is a fresh surprise every time. and It is the best match for our music.
Which stops, cities and venues are you most looking forward to?
We are looking forward to all the venues, all the countries!
What can we expect from these shows?
Vampillia and VMO can experience things that can not be experienced elsewhere. Because we are doing what no one is doing. We are expressing the ultimate beauty…haha!
WHat are you plans for the rest of the year and beyond?
We have to complete the album have been making for 7 years anyway!
