legacy of hard-rocking, blood-swilling ill intentions
author: Skidmore
Featuring members of the Blame, Estuary and Bad Samaritans, the Vladimirs have a legacy of hard-rocking, blood-swilling ill intentions. From the '50s horror of "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" to offensive rampage killings on "Death of the Party," these strapping young Vlads explore that carnival of sensuality and repulsion inside all of us. -- Skidmore (www.westword.com)

The vocals are right on the mark as with the band
author: Hammerheadzine.com
Here is a band that released a few demo/EP’s over the years and now Blood and Guts picked them up to show that an older style of music is till thriving out there. Vlad definitely make it known that they are making it more like the Misfits and Glen Danzig. The vocals are so like that. The music has its punk side. Then the bands images are that of Vampires, Blood and the dark. If you are looking for a horror punk record like that then don’t go anywhere. “Serpet Girl” opens up this record with some fury as it goes into a catchier track in “Death Of the Party”. The vocals are right on the mark as with the band. So as you would guess the sound stays in that mould through the record. Other songs offered on this ten song record are “Pictures Of Suzy”, “The Withering”, “Has Been That Never Was” and “Nobody No More”.

...blows away anything Type O could put together...
author: Lollipop Magazine
There's a cat named Jerry Only who should really hear these guys. You see, Jerry's been helming this band of Misfits for years know, and can't figure out why people keep walking out of his shows. The Vladimirs are dark and heavy like a beatnik, y'all. They've got a perfectly tasteless number that's sure to draw controversy entitled "Death Of The Party," about a high schooler murdering his bullies. While "She's Been Worshipping the Devil" is one of the funniest death-rock moments since, well, ever. A '50s lost-my-girlfriend song declaring "I asked her out for a Friday night/ I thought she might like to dance/ but all she did was go off on a rant/ about how Christ was buried in some church in France." The straight songs get increasingly better until the dramatic grand finale, "Pictures of Suzy," which blows away anything Type O could put together. Morbid, magnificent, gentle, and violent epic, this is an intricately crafted masterpiece.
