Black Valley Moon are hailing from America and this band was formed by Down By Law guitarist Sam Williams and drummer Dave Kamrath. This new album contains 13 songs of dark atmosphere, Why? Because this band manages to incorporate punk rock, namely horrorpunk, gothabilly, throw in some surf for good measure and create an atmosphere of old school sixties horror movies like those awesome American International old horror movies. This record is very guitar oriented and I must warn you that, if you search for horrorpunk played in the vein of more straightforward bands of the genre, rather choose something else, this one is more rock, surf and rock/gothabilly oriented with vocals being kinda nervous at time and shouted, but at the same time fitting perfectly to the songs and the atmosphere that this band creates. And that is, besides music, in my opinion one of the greatest advantages a band can have, when their music takes me as a listener to some other place, atmosphere and dimension, thus the art penetrates straight to the heart of the one that it is intended for. I love underground. I love how much freedom, art and discovery it provides, making each one of us find their own new favorites. Go have a listen to this one. Songs like Don´t Lie My Succubi, Sons of Dracula or Christmas In The Castle Of Blood won´t disappoint you, plus you will hear Descendents cover like you never listened to before.
