The Damned have a live 2019 album from London slated for October

Just in time for Halloween!

Before the release of their new live album/video, A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAMPIRES, The Damned have unveiled the first audio track and first video, respectively. The “Wait For The Blackout” track is out now - click here to check it out, as is the video for “Plan 9 Channel 7” - click here to check it out. 

Fan favorite “Wait For The Blackout” originally comes from THE BLACK ALBUM. "Plan 9 Channel 7" is frontman David Vanian's personal choice for the first official video from A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAMPIRES. The clip is a tribute to actress Maila Nurmi (creator of 1950s’ character Vampira, whose replica appears on stage in A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAMPIRES).

A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAMPIRES is due out on October 28 via earMUSIC distributed in North America via BFD/The Orchard. The audio and visual offering spotlights hits and fan favorites taken from The Damned’s 45-year career, including some covers.

Filmed at London’s Palladium Theatre on October 28, 2019, A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAMPIRES features The Damned and characters from classic UK TV show The Hammer House Of Horrors as well the cast of the UK’s The Circus Of Horrors in full macabre make-up and costumes. An orchestra fills out the band’s theatrical sound. To get a preview of the spectacular, click here.

A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAMPIRES will be available as a 2 CD plus Blu-ray package as well as multiple 2LP vinyl options. Vinyl purchasers can choose from classic black vinyl, clear vinyl, red vinyl or a glow-in-the-dark (indie store exclusive) vinyl set. All first vinyl pressings include a poster.
