Blood Geyser from Melbourne, Australia are in no way strangers to this zine. We already talked about them and reviewed their debut album here. This time they released new record with 13 songs. Those who already know the magic of this band will enjoy this one, those who are hearing it for the first time will enjoy the darkness and horror it provides. The music of Blood Geyser has some horrorpunk roots but it also involves post punk, eighties darkened pop, noise and many other influences like metal and hardcore. The vocals are spooky, spoken, screamed, sung and sometimes guttural growled. Top that with samples from your favorite eighties horror movies you get winning combination for all horror fiends and ghoulettes out there thirsty for some good horror music. Songs like The Night He Came Home, Barricade the Doors or Feed Him the Bodies are sure to win you over and cover you in darkness. I dare say this one is a level above the debut album. Go listen for yourself and decide.

8 Up Records is a great record label and this Halloween they released free compilation with nice horrorpunk bands on it, delivering their goods.
I remember how I loved compilations while growing up in the nineties snail mail tape trading days, with fanzines and flyers for gigs being late for couple of weeks hehe. But, that had its charms, waiting for the mailman and that package envelope when it arrived, all the excitement. Also, compilations helped me discover some bands who later became my close friends and my favorite bands. This one contains 20 songs, some being better, some being a bit less better depending on your personal musical taste. This is all punk, horrorpunk or death rock. The bands that are just to my personal taste on this one are RatBatSpider, Dead End Lane, Despised NJ, The Haunting, but this compilation is full of great horrorpunk music and new bands for you to discover, and it is on donation or free. Thanks so much to 8 Up Records for releasing this beauty, it really made my day.
