Now they make their triumphant return with their first official music video in 25 years, for new single, &#8216;Hellraisers &amp; Vampires&#8217;.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KK Wilde&#8217;s early albums have become coveted collectibles, with &#8216;Rock n Roll&#8217;, and &#8216;Cocaine Cowboy&#8217; each selling out on their release by FNA Records. Now you&#8217;ll be lucky to pick up a copy on eBay for less than $2000. It&#8217;s testament to the songcraft, the hooks, and of course, the looks of KK Wilde, and fans will be happy that they&#8217;re back to do it all over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KK Wilde returned to the studio in 2023 with a new vigour and renewed inspiration, where they laid down 12 brand new tracks, all of which combine the time-honoured 80s rock style with a more modern sensibility. Latest release, &#8216;Hellraisers &amp; Vampires&#8217; is a showcase of an anthem, taking listeners on a journey through the wild lives of hard rockers. Written by Chris Lieck, the song tells the story of a night filled with the mischief, mayhem, and camaraderie of band life, packaged together in KK Wilde&#8217;s signature sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even after 25 years since their last official music video, the clip for &#8216;Hellraisers &amp; Vampires&#8217; certainly doesn&#8217;t disappoint. Capturing the spirit of the band&#8217;s prime, we see them cruising the Strip in a 1973 Trans Am, soaking up all the nightlife as they go. It&#8217;s a visual journey that serves not only as a trip down memory lane, but also as a celebration of KK Wilde&#8217;s enduring legacy, and their ability to draw in fans, both old and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rock out with KK Wilde&#8217;s new video, &#8216;Hellraisers &amp; Vampires&#8217; below, and find out more about KK Wilde and their music online on their official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kkwilde.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.kkwilde.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@RecordInk\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@RecordInk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/k.k.wilde\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/k.k.wilde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_98658\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FnuhES7Jh94?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"KK WILDE-HELLRAISERS &amp; VAMPIRES-Official Video.\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/FnuhES7Jh94\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The name KK Wilde will be a familiar one, rocking through the LA Hair-Metal music scene of the 80s and 90s on the famous Sunset Strip.
