Biography:
What if Johnny Cash had been more interested in vampires, werewolves, and the German expressionistic cinema than in walking the line? Meet the Coffinshakers.
Formed in 1995 in Karlstadt, Sweden, by Rob Coffinshaker (Robert Fjällsby), the Coffinshakers eked out an existence from small printings of 7" red vinyl singles and occasional gigs to a mostly uninterested audience. Their first single, "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave," inspired by the classic Hammer horror film, appeared in 1996.

Album : The Coffinshakers (2007)
INTRO [Em]
[Em]
Breathing the fog that is rising
[Am]
From the depths of Carpathian tombs
[Am]
In the middle of this evil land
[Em]
In Transylvania's very womb
[Em] [Am]
Taught to bring tragedy to everyone I see
[Am]
Born under a bad moon
[Em]
I was raised by misery
[C] [Em]
All beauty I must destroy
[C] [Em]
All the pleasure is pain
[C] [Dm]
And all the love I turn to hate
[Am]-[Em]-[Em]-[Am]-[Am]-[Em]-[Em]-[Am]-[Am],... (repeat couplet + riff)

[Em]
Drinking the blood that is pouring
[Am]
From that sweet milk white neck
[Am]
Deep inside I may be crying
[Em]
But it's nothing I will regret
[Em]
Another one I've cursed
[Am]
To forever walk alone
[Am]
Another one like me
[Em]
With a heart as cold as stone
[C] [Em]
And death walks by my side
[C] [Em]
Crimson is my wake
[C] [Dm]
And all life I end.
