Nightbreed of Macabria is the sixth studio album by the band Theatres des Vampires. This album is their first to not contain any black metal influence and is credited as a pure goth metal release. This was also frontman Lord Vampyr's last album with Theatres des Vampires.

It is a concept album dealing with the fictional world of Macabria. The album was highly influenced by the works of American film producer Tim Burton.[3]
