Theatres des Vampires is an Italian gothic metal band with a profound affinity for vampiric themes and dark romanticism. Formed in 1994, the band originally drew heavily from symphonic black metal influences before transitioning towards a more gothic and atmospheric approach to metal in their later works. Named after a fictional vampire theater from Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles," Theatres des Vampires have carved out a unique niche for themselves within the metal genre.

Led by the enigmatic vocalist Sonya Scarlet since the departure of former lead singer Lord Vampyr in 2004, the band's music has become known for its blend of haunting melodies, sinister ambience, and Scarlet's distinctive operatic delivery. With an extensive discography that includes albums such as "The Vampire Chronicles" (1999), "Bloody Lunatic Asylum" (2001), and "Anima Noir" (2008), Theatres des Vampires have continued to evolve and remain relevant in the gothic metal scene. Their more recent releases like "Candyland" (2016) and "In Nomine Sanguinis" (2021) showcase the band's continued exploration of vampiric lore and chilling storytelling through their music, cementing their status as a staple for fans of dark, gothic-influenced metal.
