Darkwave/post-punk project Tanks And Tears has shared the video for the "Vampire Bite" track from its sophomore album Timewave, released in March via Swiss Dark Nights Records.
Directed by Matteo Cecchi - the band's vocalist, bassist, and synth player - the "Vampire Bite" video depicts an obstinate quest for forbidden pleasure, pushing the boundaries of morality and highlighting the themes of sin and temptation. It invites reflection on the consequences of one's actions, emphasizing the dark and seductive side of human nature. Musically, the theme is conveyed through a distinctive combination of sounds inspired by the 1980s: powerful synth bass arpeggios overlay martial electronic drums, with sombre and atmospheric synth layers underpinning melodically dark baritone vocals.
Tanks And Tears was formed in Prato (Italy) in 2013 by Matteo Cecchi (bass, vocals, synth) and Claudio Pinellini (guitar, synth). With the addition of Francesco Ciulli on drums a year later, its sound evolved in the direction of British post-punk from the 1980s. In 2015, the band released an EP, Know Yourself, and in 2017, its debut full-length, Aware. Then, in 2019, after performing around a hundred concerts in Italy and Europe and with the addition of Lorenzo Cantini on synth and keyboards, Tanks And Tears took a break. It returned to the music scene in December 2022 with the release of the maxi-single Nightmare, which marked an evolution in the quartet's sound, emphasizing the electronic elements of synthesizers and drum machines, which continued with Timewave.
