Story behind the song
Vlad the Impaler – otherwise known as Lord or Count Dracula, a mean spirited bastard who would keep his teeming minions and enemies in line by impaling them through the length of their bodies with long poles that were mounted in the ground. This man went so far as to clear his land of the lame and afflicted poor populace by inviting them to an extravagant ball, upon which, when the guests were all merry and having a general blast, Vlad ordered the gates to the castle to be shut and barred, and the whole place was caught on fire, killing the inhabitants. Vlad also proved himself to be of an extraordinary macabre nature when in the midst of battle, he would eat his dinner amongst the dead. Not with them, on them. This track was composed by myself, a leaning toward a more heavy sound, with growling undertones and a bit of a dark demeanor. Fitting for such a man like Vlad, or maybe even Jeffrey Dahlmer, but I really do like the track. For similarities, well, I would have to go with Paul Schütze, Markus Schmickler, and Skinny Puppy. This track doesn't necessarily pay homage to the sickness in man, but actually provides the means upon which we may make a dark reality come to fruition. These things DID in fact happen, and this song transports you into the middle of the macabre realm in which Vlad ruled. This song is absolutely involved, and I even played guitar on it! You might not be able to tell there is a guitar in parts, because I mapped the guitar to a Jam Man and Vortex, which then in turn produced a sound close to a person with their voicebox removed, you know, that sound when they have to hold the device up to their throat in order to speak. The vibrato was intense. I also did some dropped D open chords and some really strange scales and bending drones. The end result is a track the brings about the scenery I wished to portray of Vlad, the infamous Dracula.
