Razors on Backstreet (stylized as RAZORS ON BACKSTREET) is the third studio album by Japanese Darkwave band, Aural Vampire.[1] The album was released December 7, 2013 in Japan and internationally on March 7, 2014.[2]
The album features a much heavier, rock-influenced style of music. The album is the first to feature new band members; Wu-Chy on bass, Higuchuuhei on guitar, Zen on keyboard, and Izu on drums. Previous releases (with the exception of "Soloween") featured only lead-vocalist Exo-Chika and producer Raveman.
The album has an 1980s horror theme. Both the cover and title of the album are an allusion to the 1984 American horror slasher film, A Nightmare on Elm Street. This is the band's first album cover to not feature lead-singer Exo-Chika, instead it features only their producer, Raveman.
