All Fall Down – The Vampire Lestat (Official Video)

It only happens once in a lifetime – a new artist arrives on the scene and suddenly, music is never the same again.  All Fall Down – the debut single by The Vampire Lestat is such a perfect piece of rock, that it seems written by a singer songwriter with many, many years of musical experience behind him.  Instead this new artist – real name unknown – arrives with a great alter-ego (reminiscent in some ways of the way Bowie would take on different personas throughout his career) in vampiric form.  The song itself is hypnotic, mesmerizing – almost as if it is calling out to something.  It’s enough to wake up the souls of the dear-departed rock and roll greats, who would no doubt welcome a new member of their pantheon.

We will just have to live in anticipation of what the Vampire Lestat’s live shows will be like, the first of which is planned later on in the year on June 7. Until then, we must make do with this taster of things to come.  I am sure seeing him live will bring together so many fans of great music, all of whom have heard this message and will travel for many, many miles to hear his voice.
