There is one excellent horrorpunk band from Finland, namely Scarecrow. They play tight and darkened horrorpunk with a lot of hardcore and some metal influences. Now, Jack 13 is their frontman and this is his new solo effort and this record is darkened horrorpunk in its greatest form, so I am happy I was able to listen to and review it for this zine.
Coming from the small town of Hyvinkää, there is nothing but darkness, horror and depression to come with this music. Also, all of the named above is packed into excellent melodies, harsh but melodic vocals that kinda remind me in some ways of The Crimson Ghosts vocals in some songs. There are 10 songs on this record and I loved every single of them. From the classic horror punk of “Nightslashers” across almost dark baladesque romance of “Burning angels” to awesome thrash metal ending of “Another song of Vincent Price”, this album rules! This is another proof that horrorpunk scene is so much more and so much greater than all of those who think that it is a fake and phoney scene made of Misfits clones. Quite the contrary, it is a scene where so many influences mix with original settings of horrorpunk and make the music and its art original and wonderful.
