New Years Day share new single ‘Vampyre’

New Years Day have unveiled their new single “Vampyre” just in time for Halloween.

Following last year’s “Hurts Like Hell” vocalist Ash Costello explains the song “is… for anyone who has battled or is battling a malignant narcissist, which, essentially, is a certain kind of person who tries to suck the life out of you.

“Since I have personally experienced living with this type of monster, I wanted to write a song specifically for anyone else going through something similar, in hopes it may help them discover some strength or help give them power to overcome it. So this is a song for anyone who has dealt with this type of person. It insists, ‘You’re not going to drain the life from me.’”
