(review) Jamey Rottencorpse and The Rising Dead – Contagious (Undead Artists)

Cover-Contagious

Jamey Rottencorpse and The Rising Dead are no strangers to the pages of this zine and horrorpunk scene. Hailing from Bremen, Germany, these guys are playing modern metallic version of horrorpunk yet remaining true to the old school horrorpunk roots with lots of melody, singalong parts, harmonies and catchy guitar parts.

Now, with the help of awesome Undead Artists they released brand new e.p. The record contains four songs and what immediately falls to ear is beautiful eerie rendition of Edgar Allan Poe´s poem A Dream Within A Dream with haunting voice and screaming Hell behind all sounds. The Day I Died is a horrorpunk song with metal influences in guitar work and drumming, with awesome chorus making your skin crawl with the feelings only this music can provide. My personal favorite on this record is Flesh And Lust which I listened for many times in a row and I can totally relate to the song, beautiful melodies and vocal lines, along with guitar work. But, the real hit on this record is horror cover of Somewhere Under The Graveyard which would definitely play in my version of Wizard of Oz. This is superb record. Love it all the way!
