Vlad tepes megaupload

March to the Black Holocaust is a raw Black Metal masterpiece. Both halves of the split exude an insidious, hateful and misanthropic atmosphere but Vlad Tepes and Belketre each go about their buisness differently. Vlad Tepes opens with the marching "Wladimir's March" and goes on to blast 7 tracks of sinister and hypnotic and at times catchy Black Metal with a thick guitar tone and sick vocals. Belketre's guitars are a thin harsh fuzz in the background, backing maddeningly hateful, distorted vocals.

Despite the fuzz of the guitars, each song is distinguishable from every other and the riff changes are audible, atmospheric and cold. It was located in a prosperous neighborhood surrounded by the homes of Saxon and Magyar merchants and the townhouses of the nobility. He had an older brother, Mircea, and a younger brother, Radu the Handsome. His early education was left in the hands of his mother, a Transylvanian noblewoman, and her family.

His real education began in after his father succeeded in claiming the Wallachian throne by killing his Danesti rival. His training was typical to that of the sons of nobility throughout Europe. His first tutor in his apprenticeship to knighthood was an elderly boyar who had fought against the Turks at the battle of Nicolopolis. Vlad learned all the skills of war and peace that were deemed necessary for a Christian knight.

In , at the age of thirteen, young Vlad and his brother Radu were sent to Adrianople as hostages, to appease the Sultan. He remained there until , at which time he was released by the Turks, who supported him as their candidate for the Wallachian throne. Radu is later supported by the Turks as a candidate for the Wallachian throne, in opposition to his own brother, Vlad.

He established Tirgoviste as his capitol city, and began to build his castle some distance away in the mountains near the Arges River. Most of the atrocities associated with Vlad III took place during this time. Atrocities of Vlad Tepes More than anything else the historical Dracula is known for his inhuman cruelty. Impalement was and is one of the most gruesome ways of dying imaginable, as it was typically slow and painful. The end of the stake was usually oiled and care was taken that the stake not be too sharp, else the victim might die too rapidly from shock.

Normally the stake was inserted into the body through the buttocks and was often forced through the body until it emerged from the mouth. However, there were many instances where victims were impaled through other body orifices or through the abdomen or chest. The records indicate that victims were sometimes impaled so that they hung upside down on the stake.

Vlad Tepes often had the stakes arranged in various geometric patterns. The most common pattern was a ring of concentric circles in the outskirts of a city that was his target. The height of the spear indicated the rank of the victim. The decaying corpses were often left up for months. It was once reported that an invading Turkish army turned back in fright when it encountered thousands of rotting corpses impaled on the banks of the Danube.

In Mohammed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, a man not noted for his squeamishness, returned to Constantinople after being sickened by the sight of twenty thousand impaled Turkish prisoners outside of the city of Tirgoviste. This gruesome sight is remembered in history as "the Forest of the Impaled. Thousands were often impaled at a single time. Ten thousand were impaled in the Transylvanian city of Sibiu in In , on St.

One of the most famous woodcuts of the period shows Vlad Dracula feasting amongst a forest of stakes and their grisly burdens outside Brasov while a nearby executioner cuts apart other victims.

His victims included women and children, peasants and great lords, ambassadors from foreign powers and merchants. However, the vast majority of his victims came from the merchants and boyars of Transylvania and his own Wallachia. Many of the merchants in Transylvania and Wallachia were German Saxons who were seen as parasites, preying upon Romanian natives of Wallachia. The wealthy land owning boyars exerted their own often capricious and unfaithful influence over the reigning princes.

Vlad Dracula began his reign of terror almost as soon as he came to power. His first significant act of cruelty may have been motivated by a desire for revenge as well as a need to solidify his power. Early in his main reign he gave a feast for his boyars and their families to celebrate Easter. Many had also played a role in the overthrow of numerous Wallachian princes.

During the feast Vlad asked his noble guests how many princes had ruled during their lifetimes. All of the nobles present had outlived several princes. None had seen less then seven reigns.

Vlad immediately had all the assembled nobles arrested. The older boyars and their families were impaled on the spot. The younger and healthier nobles and their families were marched north from Tirgoviste to the ruins of his castle in the mountains above the Arges River.

The enslaved boyars and their families were forced to labor for months rebuilding the old castle with materials from a nearby ruin. According to the reports they labored until the clothes fell off their bodies and then were forced to continue working naked. Very few survived this ordeal. Throughout his reign Vlad continued to systematically eradicate the old boyar class of Wallachia. Apparently Vlad was determined that his own power be on a modern and thoroughly secure footing.

In the place of the executed boyars Vlad promoted new men from among the free peasantry and middle class; men who would be loyal only to their prince. He appears to have been particularly concerned with female chastity. Such women often had their sexual organs cut out or their breasts cut off, and were often impaled through the vagina on red-hot stakes.

One report tells of the execution of an unfaithful wife. Vlad also insisted that his people be honest and hard working. Merchants who cheated their customers were likely to find themselves mounted on a stake beside common thieves. He received little support from his titular overlord, Matthius Corvinus, King of Hungary son of John Hunyadi and Wallachian resources were too limited to achieve any lasting success against the powerful Turks.

The Turks finally succeeded in forcing Vlad to flee to Transylvania in Vlad escaped through a secret passage and fled across the mountains into Transylvania and appealed to Matthias Corvinus for aid.

The king immediately had Vlad arrested and imprisoned in a royal tower. The Russian pamphlets indicate that he was a prisoner from until However, during this period he was able to gradually win his way back into the graces of Matthias Corvinus and ultimately met and married a member of the royal family possibly the sister of Corvinus and fathered two sons. It is unlikely that a prisoner would be allowed to marry a member of the royal family.

As the eldest son was about 10 years old at the point Vlad regained the Wallachian throne in , his release probably occurred around Note: The Russian narrative, normally very favorable to Vlad, indicates that even in captivity he could not give up his favorite past-time; he often captured birds and mice and proceeded to torture and mutilate them.

Some were beheaded or tarred-and-feathered and released. Most were impaled on tiny spears. The Hungarian king may have viewed Dracula as a possible candidate to retake the throne. The fact that Vlad renounced the Orthodox faith and adopted Catholicism was also surely meant to appease his Hungarian captor.

In Vlad was again ready to make a bid for power. Before he was able to gather support, a large Turkish army entered Wallachia. Vlad was forced to march and meet the Turks with less than four thousand men.

In evaluating the accounts of Vlad Dracula it is important to realize that much of the information comes from sources that may not be entirely accurate. With each of the three main sources there is reason to believe that the information provided may be influenced by local, mainly political, prejudices. Afterward, he tells his solders not to question the events that occurred on the battlefield and tells them to round up the women and children and all start heading towards Cozia Monastery as it is too remote a place for canon fire.

During the journey, Mirena learns of Vlad's curse as she sees Vlad holding silver to keep himself weak when near his people to avoid revealing his condition to them or attack them for blood. After Vlad promises he will resist human blood, she accepts that he will regain his mortality once the Ottomans are defeated. A Romani named Shkelgim, who knows Vlad is a vampire, proclaims himself as his servant and offers his own blood; but Vlad resists.

As they near the monastery, the Wallachs are ambushed by Ottoman soldiers; and, while Vlad and his men successfully repel them, Vlad's sudden increased strength arouses suspicion among his subjects. The next day at the monastery, a monk Lucien learns of Vlad's condition and leads the Prince's subjects to turn on Vlad, trapping him in a burning building in the sunlight in an effort to save Vlad's soul.

Black smoke blocks out the sun, allowing an outraged Vlad to escape the fire, and he angrily reveals that he became a vampire for the sole purpose of protecting his people from the Ottoman suzerainty. Before he acts out against them, Mirena stops him and calms him down. On the third day, the last day of his condition as a vampire, Vlad determines to win the war at any cost and commands a swarm of bats to stop the Turks, eventually seeing Mehmed in a struggle with his army of bats.

In desperation, Mirena begs Vlad to complete his transformation into a complete vampire to save their son. Tearfully, Vlad agrees and drinks her blood and completes his transformation into a powerful and complete vampire and yells at the loss of his beloved wife.

His powers having increased to a great extent he returns to the monastery and sees his subjects at near death, the Prince turns them into vampires to launch a final assault on the Turks.

Controlling the weather, Vlad and his minions attack the Turks as Dracula heads toward Mehmed. In a battle between Vlad and Mehmed, Mehmed uses silver which reflects sunlight to fight the Vampire Prince. Vlad,now takes the name "Dracula" - the son of the Devil and kills Mehmed by turning into bats, stabbing him with a stake and draining him off his blood.

With his son's life in danger due to his own vampire subjects, Dracula is forced to defend his son against his subjects, who are lusting for more blood. Later, Shkelgim saves Dracula and gives him blood. Vlad lived through centuries as his son took the role as king of Transylvania, Romania. In modern day, Vlad meets Mina Murray , who is the reincarnation of Mirena. The two speak of one life going to the next as Gaius Julius Caesar watches from the distance.

Vlad is a devoted family man who is willing to sacrifice anything, even his own humanity, to protect his family and his people. A strong Christian, Vlad begged for God's forgiveness after becoming a vampire while in the three day transition period. Vlad is strong and courageous, able to stand firm against whole legions of his enemies in direct combat.

Upon becoming a vampire, his demeanor darkened and he became animalistic and primal while in battle, as he is seen roaring and savagely killing his enemies, while still maintaining the skill and concentration of a man. He became far more savage when he fed on Mirena when she was dying, unleashing an army of murderous and evil vampires for his own vengeance, as well staking and biting Mehmed to death.
