'Welcome To Vladyland' is a concept album which again supply proof of what has made Vlad In Tears a favorite of fans and music critics alike: musical quality and diversity.

'Welcome To Vladyland' also features themes of loss ('A Song To Say Goodbye') and of course, vampirism ('A Vlad's Tale').The concept behind 'Welcome To Vladyland' expresses itself in a carnival- or theme park-like feel, each song representing a sensation or a show booth in Vladyland.
