Dhampyres is a five-piece Goth Rock band hailing from Gloucestershire, UK. Formed in early 2022 by vocalist and frontman Al Hale, the band sought to channel a darker, melodic sound into the music they loved. Joined by guitarist and songwriter Mike Nash later that year, they began crafting their debut album, "Lore of the Dhampyre," which was released on February 14, 2024.
The band's lineup includes:
- Al Hale – Vocals
- Sam King – Lead Guitar and Auxiliary Vocals
- Tom Marshall (Tommi Death) – Rhythm Guitar and Auxiliary Vocals
- Joe Allen – Bass
- Paul Boston Daniel – Drums
Dhampyres' music is characterized by a heavy yet melodic dark Gothic-influenced sound, blending atmospheric elements with powerful vocals. Their debut album features tracks like "Darkness Becomes Sun" and "Blood Red Moon," which have garnered attention for their dynamic compositions and engaging performances.
The band has performed at various festivals and venues, including the Drunken Monkey Festival, Corrosion Festival, and the HRH Goth II Festival at the O2 Academy in Leicester. They continue to write new material and plan to release a new video imminently, with live dates scheduled for 2025.
