I discovered this duo through a post on an old japanese music site I used to go on a few years ago. I still don't really know how I'd tag this group but they definitely have an interesting electronic (mixed with new wave and industrial) sound that I can't find much elsewhere with female vocals in japanese groups. It seems they classify themselves as darkwave. I listen to them quite often and I feel like it suits most of my every moods. Unfortunately they only have two albums with the last one coming out in 2010. They did release an EP called Kerguelen Vortex in December 2011. Now it seems they have established themselves as a band adding four new members which I currently haven't heard.
From their last.fm
Aural Vampire is a industrial/electronic duo from Tokyo, Japan formed by Exo-Chika (vocals, lyrics) and Raveman (keyboards/synths, composition). Both members knew each other since highschool, where they were classmates and shared their interests in western horror movies, digital hardcore music style and peculiar art. After they finished school, both started making music. Later they decided to form Aural Vampire, where Exo-Chika is in the role of a vampire and Raveman in the role of a butcher.
