The new single from Canadian death metal horror freaks VHS is ready to impale you like Vlad. "Horror of Dracula" is a bloody death 'n' roll basher featuring guest vocals from Trevor Strnad of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. The song was premiered exclusively at Decibel Magazine ahead of the December release of the band's upcoming vampire-themed record I Heard They Suck... Blood. With songs based on vamp classics like The Lost Boys and Near Dark, the album will thrill death metal and horror fanatics alike.
Decibel Magazine writes: "Fans of EXHUMED, IMPETIGO, CARCASS, MORTICIAN and fake blood will go nuts for “Horror of Dracula,” which hits all the pleasure spots in the brain: ominous riffs, fast-paced mosh parts, guttural grooves and a Simpsons sample. Strnad’s vocals add another layer of depth, in addition to a familiar voice."

I Heard They Suck... Blood will rise from the grave on December 3rd on digital, CD, and cassette from Wise Blood Records. Pre-order the album from VHS and Wise Blood Records on Bandcamp.
