Sadists are hailing from Hartford, Connecticut area and I must admit that I have never heard of this band prior to listening to this record, which is I suppose a collection of their greatest hits, or maybe complete discography, I couldn’t find anything on the Internet that would provide me more information about this band, since it is apparent they don’t have a Facebook or Instagram page, not even their band’s webpage or anything similar. Anyway, this record contains 27 regular plus four bonus songs, making it massive 31 song record. The music of Sadists is horror punk n roll with lots of up tempo and uplifting songs with horror like themes, with songs like ‘ Madman Marz’, ‘Zombies Ate My Neighbors’, ‘Queen of Halloween’, ‘Horror Punk Song’ you just can’t go wrong. Vocals are not your Danzig clone or similar, no, they are harsher and more screaming and remind me a lot of punk bands Anti Heros and Defiance. This album has a healthy dose of street punk thrown in the song structures for good measure. Although there is a great number of songs on this one, the album is interesting, especially for us who are horror punk fans, so it passes very quickly. Besides raw and dirty version of punk rock with melodic touch, there are couple of keyboards in there, and clever use of samples which is always great and fine by me because samples can only emphasize the atmosphere of some song. Try listening to ‘Death Do Us Part’, ‘Murder Junkie’ or ‘Black Christmas’ and try not to be touched by the energy of this band and some of the songs just make you pump your fist in the air and your old punk rock heart beat faster. Excellent stuff!
