Vampillia

Vampillia is a genre-defying Japanese collective known for their chaotic yet beautiful blend of orchestral arrangements, brutal metal, and avant-garde experimentation. Hailing from Osaka and self-described as a "brutal orchestra," they’ve carved a niche with theatrical live performances that merge classical instrumentation (think piano, strings) with blistering screams, distorted guitars, and electronic textures. Their releases, like *Alchemic Heart* and *Artificial Act of God*, showcase their knack for colliding elegance and chaos, often collaborating with artists ranging from Merzbow to cellist Jo Quail. While their music can swing from melancholic piano ballads to apocalyptic noise, Vampillia’s core obsession seems to be dismantling boundaries—between beauty and ugliness, serenity and violence, or as their album title *Happiness Brought by Endless Sorrow* perfectly encapsulates, joy and despair.
