Vampire Valentine returns with In The Dark, the lead single from their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, releasing August 28, 2026 on Morella Records. A brooding and atmospheric gothic rock track built on themes of devotion, longing, and the comfort two people find in each other through the darkness, In The Dark finds the band in full command of their sound. Blending post-punk intensity with darkwave atmosphere and deeply felt vocals from frontman Michael Longstaff, the track is driven by Blake Carpenter's guitar work and Kieron Wright's commanding bass, brought together by producer Ricky Conover into something cohesive, cinematic, and emotionally resonant. This is Vampire Valentine at their most focused and compelling, and it is only the beginning of what the full album has to offer.
