Overview
Designed to appeal to American audiences, ''Underworld'' marks the first time Vamps brought in a producer and co-writers on songs. The concept bringing the album to life was the "'Underworld' is not a place that we can see with our eyes, 'the physical world,' but the dark side that's hidden beneath the surface, 'the shadow world' where VAMPS' true nature lies." "Vamps has always been trying to portray a world that exists between something that 'could be of this world, but isn't' and that 'might not exist, but does.'"
The track list consists of 11 songs including "Rise or Die" recorded as a coupling song to "Inside of Me" featuring Chris Motionless from
