Aural Vampire is a Japanese ElectronicMusic band, their music being described as {{Darkwave}} with {{Industrial}} influences. They are sometimes classified as VisualKei, though it is not their focus. Formed in 2004, they've spent most of their career as a duo consisting of EXO-CHIKA (vocals & lyrics) and RAVEMAN (music). In 2012 they added new members for the first time: Wu-CHY (bass), Higuchuuhei (guitar), ZEN (keyboard), and IZU (drums).

They have a bit of a cult following in the West thanks to frequently appearing at conventions there.
