(review) Danzig-Danzig sings Elvis(Cleopatra Records)

Front

This was long time in the making and it is finally here! Glenn Danzig, my musical hero and inspiration, one of the heroes of my childhood, through Misfits, Samhain and his solo career, recorded an album with cover versions of the songs by king himself, Elvis Presley. The king of darkness covering King Elvis, hero of Danzig`s childhood. Although many have tried to clone and copy him, especially in horrorpunk scene, there is only one voice, Danzig and his trademark beautiful vocal. These 14 songs are beautiful renditions of Presley songs. I am not a fan of Elvis, so I do not know whether some of these songs are hits or no, but I know that Fever, Always on my mind, Loving arms and Like a baby are my personal favorites on this record. This is a nice one, like a classic prequel to 2015. album Skeletons hehe. Pay tribute to both kings!

(review) Scott Sellers-Influence

cover

Scott Sellers just keeps delivering and delivering, bombing us away and melting our faces off with his awesome new albums full of melodic punk and fast skatepunk anthems.

This time, he releases the memory box of his influences, like the title of the albums says. This album takes me to my youth, delivering bombs of songs, with so many great covers on this album. There are 10 songs of the bands that influenced Scott in his relentless work discipline in creating great music, namely Strung Out, Face To Face, Slick Shoes, Lagwagon, MxPx, Nofx, Blink 182, Millencolin, No Use For A Name and BIGWIG. Like any other covers album, there are some songs you like more, some you like less, but this one is full of fantastic songs, so thumbs up for all of the songs on it.
