Wow, wow, wow. Sorry for not updating AT ALL in the last, well, let’s say two years. Can’t promise the updates will become more regular from this point on either, but let’s hope. Apologies out of the way, here’s what’s new:
Long overdue, the Raised by Bats discography page has been updated with the final tracklisting, artwork and so on. The Discography and “Band” pages have also been updated to reflect the album’s release. Lyrics for some song are not available yet, but they will come as soon as possible. If you’d like to speed up the process by helping out, feel free to send an email to webmiss[at]vorutania.com with transcriptions of the lyrics that aren’t there.
Raised by Bats is available for purchase on iTunes (Digital) and CDBaby.com (CD or Digital)! You can also buy the Instrumental/Karaoke version of the CD at CDBaby.com.
When the reanimated skeletons of Necronus, a cemetery planet across the dark expanse of space, decide they need Earth paved into a landing strip, they send, possibly the worst of their agents to undertake the task. Arrogant, pompous and not the brightest laser in the arsenal, Heironymous Poshe , takes on human form and travels to Earth aboard his Black Spire, a space ship that could easily pass for a giant, black cathedral. However, Poshe has plans of his own, namely to avoid a desk job on the Necrid home world and live a life of leisure in a fixed orbit above Earth. For centuries, Poshe (along with his robot slave and an imprisoned midget) has avoided his prime directive. Instead he has spent his time abducting Earth women, celebrities and bands for a non-stop, nightly party above the Black Spire.
But Poshe’s days of care-free, hot-babe abduction are coming to an end. Tired of Poshe’s lack or results, Lord Krom Wrath, supreme ruler of the Necrus, launches a full scale invasion of Earth. Poshe bands with the only people on Earth who understand his cause (a group of Goth kids, a cadre of ninja priests and a small army of Hasidic Rabbis- ironically, all of them people who wear all black!) to repel the oncoming armada of Necrid ships. The final space battle is the “Jews in Space” Mel Brooks promised us and never delivered!”

Voltaire has started recording demos for the upcoming album, Raised by Bats!
He has released a demo excerpt for one of the song ,called “Captains All” on his website. There is also some new titles, which has all been added to the Raised by Bats-section of Vorutania.
He also stated summer as a possible release date for the album.
Better late than never – Raised by Bats have now been added to the Discography-page!
The page is fairly empty at the moment, but it’ll be updated with news and links to lyrics as they’re announced.
Voltaire has uploaded a video in which he recites a version of the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (‘Twas The Night Before Christmas) that he wrote named ‘Twas the Night Before Black Mass.
"Were Captains All and we run this show. And we only sail where we want to go.
And we live at ease, doing as we please. Like pirates drifting out at sea."
