Horrorpunk has often been welcomed guest on the pages of this zine, so it is nice to have it again and this time I review the record by Dead United.

Besides US of A of course, Germany is one of the biggest and richest scenes concerning horrorpunk in the world. I will only mention great bands like The Crimson Ghosts, The Other, Jamey Rottencorpse, The Mutant Reavers etc….

Dead United are one of the younger bands in the scene coming from Wurzburg area which is I think in the beautiful Bavaria. I am not sure if this is the official release but I got it from the band, so what the fuck, I should listen to it and review it. The album contains 16 songs of horror, blood, melody and insanity. Musically Dead United move more in a punkrock and not metal or hardcore area. Vocals kinda remind me of Michale Graves and the music reminds of some of the earlier The Other albums. I prefer my horrorpunk very melodic so, this material lacks some anthemic melodies and memorable choruses that make you hum them every second of the day. But, this is quality horrorpunk that avoided the trap of being somebodys clone what many bands unfortunately are nowadays. You should give a spin to “Bug Attack”m “We are the Fiends” and “Underworld Cats” to name just some of the songs. I am sure we will hear more of Dead United in the coming years.
