About
Vampires of Black Imperial Blood is the debut album by French black metal group Mütiilation. The album is noted for being the first full length release in the Les Légions Noires movement, it was also the first full-length CD publication from Drakkar Production, a French record label freshly established in 1994 by fellow musician Noktu (frontman of Celestia). This album, together with March to the Black Holocaust, was instrumental in establishing the reputation of the Black Legions among underground black metal circle. On the base of this album, Mütiilation is often credited for inventing the "depressive/suicidal black metal" subgenre, that would spawn acts such as Xasthur and Shining. However, unlike groups the album influenced, "Vampire..." shows a wider range of dynamics and an unmistakable style of songwriting, especially for that era of the genre. This was the first recording to feature Mørdrëd. .
