Vampyrìsme, Nècrophilie, Nècrosadisme, Nècrophagie is the debut studio album by Italian band Theatres des Vampires. It was released on 1996 through Garden of Grief. The album's sound is significantly more raw than on subsequent releases. In 2003, a completely re-recorded version of this album was released as Vampyrìsme....
Drummer Agaharet would leave the band before the album's completion, leaving vocalist Lord Vampyr to finish it alone.
The album's title is French for "Vampirism, necrophilia, necrosadism, scavenging" — however, correct spelling in French would be Nécro- instead of Nècro-.
Track 1 opens with a passage of Bram Stoker's famous 1897 novel Dracula, while track 8 samples Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem.
