After introducing VAMP earlier this year, Orlando’s Magnolia Park has returned with a new single, “Chasing Shadows.” Stream the single here.
VAMP was rooted in Magnolia Park’s mutual love of anime, fantasy, and horror, creating a dystopia where its rulers and rebels are at odds and the future remains uncertain. Picking up where VAMP concludes, “Chasing Shadows” is packed with drum machines and heavy riffs to amplify the emotional turmoil. The song centers on the story’s protagonist, Aurora XI, who has suffered extreme loss inflicted on her by an enemy.
Magnolia Park expanded on their vision, stating: “‘Chasing Shadows’ deals with feeling unworthy of love and the torment of losing someone close to you. We wanted to write a song about how Aurora feels after losing her sister Ophelia in the battle against the Shadow Cult.” Watch the official visualizer for “Chasing Shadows” here.
Magnolia Park has also announced their headlining “Nights After Vamp” Spring 2026 tour, with support from Silly Goose, Pinknoise, and Downswing, beginning on April 2 in Houston, TX and wrapping on May 13 at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio.
