Midnight Poetry Crack Open the Coffin and Offer a Dose of Darkness With Video for “Dracula’s Poison”
An ancient creature, black hair like the abyss
He came from a distant world, rising from the shadows
A beauty of mystery, an angel of death
Midnight Poetry flutter out of Athens, Greece, with their latest dose of darkness, Dracula’s Poison, a song that lands as if they have cracked open the lid of an old lacquered coffin and, to their delight, found that the corpse inside still knows how to treat a lady. Cleopatra Kaido and John Spanos are working in a lane lined with dark electro, post-punk perfume, industrial-pop chrome, and a little graveyard glamour, but this track gets its fangs by throwing itself headlong into lust as doom, and devotion as the sort of decision that would make any priest faint dead away.
This is music for people who think longing should come with candlewax, velvet, and maybe a polite nibble at the neck before breakfast.
The lyrics keep the bloody stakes high and the pulse higher. They lean into the old vampire spellbook with a grin, giving us the immortal seducer, the mortal fool, and that eternal bad idea where danger starts looking like destiny after midnight. She is not playing coy with her feelings, and thank heaven for that. This lady is ready for a hot night of fun. Too many singers approach desire like they are filing tax forms in candlelight. Kaido goes straight for the throat. The theme of obsession has always had a little camp in its collar, a little grand theatre in its posture, and this song uses that knowingly rather than apologizing for it.
Then comes the gloriously blunt chorus, all command and craving: “Bite me! / Kiss me! / Love me! / Hate me!” It lands like a lipstick-smeared midnight melodrama, and it knows exactly how deliciously ridiculous that is. Any song willing to put “Feed me” at the end of this chain deserves at least a silk cape and a tax break.
Musically, the track has a sleek, nocturnal drive. Spanos gives it a firm electronic frame, sturdy enough to hold the gothic romance without letting it collapse into costume drama. There is movement here, a nightclub current under all the grave dirt and swooning. The beat pushes forward with real purpose while the melodic lines keep the mood lush, fevered, and faintly fatalistic. It feels built for black-clad dancing, for spinning beneath a red bulb while reconsidering every person you ever drunk-texted after 2 a.m.
The video seals the pact. Directed by John Kokoris, Dimitris Parzigkas, John Spanos, and Panagiotis Tsakiris, it gives the song a proper chamber of fog, darkened rooms, entwined lovers, bodice-ripper intensity, enough eternal-night atmosphere to make a bat feel vain about its wings.
Watch the video for Dracula’s Poison below:
Midnight Poetry have made a song that understands vampire romance for what it has always been: sex, death, devotion, and bad boundaries in good lighting. Dracula’s Poison bites deep, laughs softly, and leaves two neat marks where your cynicism used to be. In the end, it is great fun.
Dracula’s Poison is now available across all digital streaming platforms. Listen to Dracula’s Poison below and order the single here.

Organic and Synthetic Blur in Irish Post-Punk Duo Crá Croí’s Video for “Flesh Machines”
Crá Croí’s Flesh Machines lurches out of the speakers like a sermon delivered through a busted factory intercom, all pressure, poison, and bad electricity. It has the ugly gleam of modern life at its most seductive, where every promise comes plated in chrome, and every convenience asks for a small surrender of the soul. You can almost smell the overheated wires. You can almost see the skin going pale under fluorescent light.
This song from the Irish duo hits hard in this collision of body and mechanism as something filthy, seductive, and spiritually expensive. Flesh Machines observes people crawl willingly into the machine, trading touch for simulation, instinct for programming, spirit for speed, and it sounds properly sickened by the bargain. There is a queasy recognition that we have all already signed a contract without reading the fine print.
RG gives the arrangement a hard-edged sense of motion. The guitars come in sharp and sudden, like metal catching light in a dark room. The rhythm section keeps everything pinned to the floor with a grim, danceable insistence, pushing the track forward like a body being marched toward its own transformation. You can hear the family tree, sure: Joy Division’s dread, The Sisters of Mercy’s severe grandeur, a little Type O’s romantic rot. There’s even a little Iron Maiden coming through.
Flesh Machines never feels like a crate-digging exercise assembled from old parts. It has heat in its lungs. It moves like it means it. CD’s voice carries genuine wear in it, a sense that the person singing has seen too much neon, too many ruined faces, too many bright new systems built to flatten our hopes and dreams. It gives the song a human wound at the center of all that mechanical menace.
The video sharpens that unease. Built from stock footage of biomechanics, bodies, and mechanised imagery, it gives the song a visual counterpart that feels fittingly dislocated, as though humanity is being slowly reprocessed into raw material for some new synthetic order. There is something blunt and effective about that approach. Rather than over-explaining the theme, the video lets image after image pile up into a vision of flesh and DNA meeting steel, spirit meeting system, and neither side coming away intact.
Watch Flesh Machines below:
Crá Croí (pronounced cra-cree) have made a song that sounds contaminated by the present tense, a song for people trying to keep their pulse steady while the world turns itself into product, process, and permanent display. Flesh Machines stares into that mess with bloodshot eyes and comes back with thunder.

DEVILDRIVER Announce New Album “Strike and Kill”, Stream Lead Single “Dig Your Own Grave”
After numerous world tours, 10 full-length albums, and globally recognized acclaim, unstoppable groove metal legends Devildriver remain full speed ahead in their second decade of decimation. Today, the band announces their explosive eleventh full-length, Strike and Kill, out July 10 via Napalm Records.
With the all-star lineup of frontman and mastermind Dez Fafara, virtuoso guitar duo of Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold, eruptive drummer Davier Ortega Perez, and the return of founding bass legend Jon Miller, Strike and Kill sees Devildriver return to their carnivorous origin, reigniting the incendiary sound that founded their legacy, a must-listen for all fans of the genre.
Dez Fafara on Strike and Kill: “My headspace hasn’t changed, I have not become complacent or soft in my view of the world or in my music. Metal is our outlet as listeners and writers, so on this record, we focused on ‘getting it all out’ lyrically and backing those lyrics with savage, relentless music that fuels the heavy California groove like no other. Devildriver has never sounded like any other band; we do our own thing in our own way, and I’m most proud of that. I’m so proud of these musicians, this music, and the vibe around this record. DevilDriver sounds like no one else out there right now, we are here to Strike and Kill!”
Alongside today’s announcement, they unleash the fierce album opener upon the masses. Debuting yesterday on SXM’s Liquid Metal, “Dig Your Own Grave” is a vitriolic onslaught of machine gun riffs and uncompromising aggression, lyrically lambasting fools responsible for their own undesirable fates. Full of piss and vinegar, this is Devildriver at maximum ferocity, giving listeners just a taste of the unspeakable carnage waiting within Strike and Kill.
About the track, Fafara states: “‘Dig Your Own Grave’ is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively ‘digging’ your own grave… It’s that simple. It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there’s the line ‘Six feet ain’t deep enough for you,’ because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you’ve done or tried to do to others. Be careful when you choose to make decisions at midnight.”Pre-order the album here.
