THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Frank Palangi Returns With Crushing Hard Rock Release “Vampire EP” – Out August 28, 2026

Upstate New York hard rock powerhouse Frank Palangi is back with his most intense and fully realized release yet, the Vampire EP , hitting August 28, 2026. Packed with driving guitars, massive drums, and soaring melodic hooks, this EP proves that Palangi is still a force to be reckoned with in the modern hard rock scene. 🎸🔥

Blending the punch of Daughtry, Three Days Grace, and Godsmack with his own unique style, the Vampire EP takes listeners on a journey through heavy riffs, haunting atmospheres, and unforgettable choruses. From the opening salvo of “Tomorrow Ends” to the epic, mythological blaze of “The Dragon,” Palangi delivers a record that’s as cinematic as it is hard-hitting.

In a glowing review, critics noted:

"Frank Palangi’s new Vampire CD hit me immediately with one thing: this thing is heavy… From punk-infused sludgy passages to arena-ready choruses, it’s bigger, darker, heavier, and more fully realized than ever."

Palangi’s DIY ethos drives the EP, as he handles the bulk of recording, producing, mixing, mastering, and performing vocals, guitars, bass, and synth. Drums were performed by David Nester, with earlier sessions tracked at Rivergate Studios with Michael McManus. The track “The Dragon” also includes work recorded at the studio of Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down.

With a career built on grit, persistence, and a refusal to slow down, Palangi embodies the modern independent rock artist. His mantra— "There is no Plan B" —resonates throughout every track on the Vampire EP , a record that refuses to compromise and demands to be heard loud.
