Vlad Tepes (band)

Vlad Tepes was a French black metal band which was formed in Brest in 1993.

The name originated from the 15th-century Wallachian ruler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's fictional vampire, Dracula.

After a self-released rehearsal tape, the demo-tape War Funeral March (1994) was released on the American market by Full Moon Productions.

It was followed the next year by March to the Black Holocaust, a split release with fellow Black Legions act Bèlkètre, issued on the French Embassy Productions.

The track Drink the Poetry of the Celtic Disciple was covered by alternative rock musician Chris Brokaw on the album Canaris on acoustic guitars.
