about

This is the eerie song that plays under the opening credits of the 1971 Film/Soundtrack 'Les Frissons Des Vampires ('Shiver of the Vampires') by Jean Rollin. Played & recorded originally by teenage Post Psych-Prog band 'Acanthus'.

This song always gave me chills, but was forever wondering: What if the song was played a bit heaver with a pinch more power?
So heres my take on a semi updated version. Never wanting to lose the original innocence, or dare we say 'awkward' wail & wobble of the Acanthus version.
Adding a heavier, Sabbathian thickness toward the end, hopefully without 'Over Dooming' it to death.
The reprise at the very ending is snippet from 'La Chateau' another sparse guitar twang & primitive percussion sequence from the Original Soundtrack. Vaguely reminiscent of a medieval skeletal striptease, It's another classic & memorable teenage twist from the juvenile sound trackers, Acanthus.
