Astrovamps were an American deathrock group. It was formed in the early 1990s by Daniel Ian and
Eyajo Joseph.
History
Astrovamps released their first two records on cassette from 1991-1993, "Savage Garden" and "Blood and Flowers." In 1992,
the band wrote the lyrical content for "Pixies and Daggers," a mysterious album that was never recorded. The self-titled album
Astrovamps appeared later in 1995.
Manifesto was intended to be re-released in 1994, but the plan was withdrawn due to bankruptcy of the band's record label. Later in 2002, Astrovamps signed a record deal with German label Alice In... of the Dark Dimensions label group.
In 2003, the Manifesto EP was re-released on the new label.
Amerikan Gothick, the first-ever full-length album from Astrovamps appeared in 2004. The nineteen-track album features a live track, as well as exclusive tracks that have appeared on various compilations of notable German fanzines such as Orkus and Zillo.
Astrovamps performed at the 2005 Wave-Gotik-Treffen Festival in Leipzig, Germany with other notable industrial artists such as Apoptygma Berzerk and Die Krupps.
Gods & Monsters, the latest album from Astrovamps was released in May 2007.
The band officially disbanded September 29, 2007.
