All The Damn Vampires Vicecore

Los Angeles based synthwave-meets-alternative-metal pioneers, All The Damn Vampires will release their debut album VICECORE on February 6th, 2026.

Founded, produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by multi-instrumentalist Davey Oberlin, a longtime touring member of Korn who’s also played in Winds of Plague and Five Finger Death Punch, All The Damn Vampires fuses the cinematic grandeur of John Carpenter soundtracks with the emotional heft of Type O Negative and the retro-futuristic shimmer of Daft Punk. On VICECORE, Oberlin also plays guitar, bass, and keys, while powerhouse vocalist Ryan Rose, who makes his professional debut with the project, delivers soaring, classically trained performances that cut through the project’s dense, atmospheric production. Virtuoso guitarist Miles Dimitri Baker rounds out the lineup.

There’s a DIY ethos that runs through every element of VICECORE. Recorded over 18 months, the album weaves reimagined covers of classic tracks with original songs built to stand alongside them, creating what Oberlin describes as “an album you could really get lost in driving, something that might take people back while introducing them to new vibes through modern production.” The album also features contributions from synthwave producer Sunglasses Kid on the title track, plus guitar solos from virtuosos Andy James and Miles Dimitri Baker. The aesthetic draws from Miami Vice, hardcore merch culture (think Nails), and Los Angeles gang imagery, filtered through Oberlin’s deep love of film soundtracks such as Blade Runner, The Lost Boys and The Goonies and a childhood spent obsessing over Type O Negative, Korn, and Alice in Chains.

All The Damn Vampires has already carved out a lane at the intersection of heavy music and visual media. The project’s music appeared in cult horror film Terrifier 2, while Oberlin’s collaboration with Avenged Sevenfold on a reimagined version of “Ordinary”, which he produced and co-wrote, debuted via a secret Fortnite puzzle, introducing the project to an entirely unexpected audience. With over 11.7 million cross-platform streams and 2 million YouTube views to date, All The Damn Vampires continues to build a world where nostalgia can be both camp, cinematic and completely crushing, all at the same time.
