BAT! are new psychobilly supergroup of vigilantes with members of Nekromantix, Stellar Corpses, The Brains, Rezurex. This is their debut album out with Cleopatra Records and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

The album contains 15 new songs plus 5 covers. The music of Bat! can be categorized as an amalgamation, Frankenstein´s monster made of members´experiences and the music they listen to and play with their bands. That means beautiful dark and melodic psychobilly with a lot of horrorpunk and doo wop influences. This music fits totally to the story around the band, the story of three vigilantes from darkness. I love every single minute of this record. A lot of singalong choruses, anthemic melodies, faster and slower songs which take you to the dark city streets and you feel safe and a bit scared knowing that the vigilantes lurk somewhere nearby. The record also features guest appearences by Jyrki 69 and Danny B.Harvey. Among covers, Danzig´s Mother somehow works best for me, because Bat! gave that song a new spirit with their version. Recommended songs: Villain, Revente of the Batmask, We Own The Night.
