Thank you very much for your continuous support. Sadly, we have an unfortunate announcement for you today. VAMPS will temporarily cease all activity as of December 2017. Our engines have overheated and we need some time to cool down. As soon as we are at our best temperature and the time is right for our return, we plan to kick back into action in top gear! We’ll be counting on your fiery welcome!

VAMPS”
