I don't quite see Blackend as a goth label. Thus, it's no surprise when Theatres des Vampires turns out to be pretty bad... It's something of a hybrid goth metal, but fails as both. The metal parts are worse than average and the goth parts even worse. The vocalists suck and the album's too long, too. There is, indeed, little good in this album. **

I found it to be a wonderful combination of goth and metal. In fact, I bought this CD at a major goth/vampiric event in So. California. Century media had a booth there and they had a few copies of Nightbreed of Macabria, which sold out rather quickly.

This album makes a difference from the Typical Black/Goth Metal scene with the use of screechy violins, haunting keyboards and female backing vocals in a somewhat calming manner (I find). I'd say this album is certainly worth buying.
