(review) Diechotomy – It Came from Outer Space

cover

Time to continue with horror punk on the pages of this zine. Do you guys remember of a band called Scared Shitless we featured on the pages of this zine a while ago? Well, after they disbanded, two of the guys, namely Ryan and Jimmy continued making music with new Diechotomy.

This is their new release containing 5 songs of melodic and nice horror punk, just the way I like it. This last year, although worse in many forms, has been really nice for horror punk scene which exploded with many excellent releases and new and old bands. The music of Diechotomy is in many ways classic horror punk with many singalong parts, super melodies and really nice voice of Ryan Smith which reminds me a bit of Shadow Windhawk in some parts of the songs. Damn, as I listen to this record is dawns to me that this is one of the best horror punk records that I have listened to in a while. Mid tempo punk with horror pumping in the veins and the songs I somehow repeated the most are Invasion of the Body Snatchers and They Live, all horror fans will know the lyrical themes of these songs, such beautiful vocal harmonies, especially the interplay between backing vox and lead in They Live. Each of the five songs amazes me more and more. Night of the Creeps is another example how horror punk should be done. Aftermath finishes the record in apocalyptic way leaving me for more and more and spinning this e.p. constantly. Super!
