(horror movie review)VICTOR CROWLEY(2017.)

Leave a comment

Everyone who reads this webzine, knows my love for horror movies and also knows that I love slasher horror the most of all horror subgenres! It is so hard to find a decent horror slasher nowadays!

Couple of years ago director Adam Green introduced us to the new villain in horror, namely Victor Crowley in his slasher horror Hatchet. This new maniac was brutal, bloodthirsty, and the Hatchet movies, all three of them, were blood n gore tour de force and fun as hell to watch! I was skeptic when this new, fourth installment came out, because almost all new sequels in known horror franchises are utter crap, but I am glad I was wrong! Set ten year after the events in the first movie, a plane crashes in the swamp and some people accidentaly resurrect Victor Crowley and the carnage begins again.

This fourth movie is full blooded slasher for the 21st century and I loved how it was fun, gory, gritty and intentionally over the top in some parts. What pleases me most, I think that there will be more sequels and soon! This one was awesome!

(record review)STRUNG OUT-“Black Out The Sky e.p.”(Fat Wreck Chords)

Leave a comment

California punk veterans Strung Out released their new e.p. on Fat Wreck Chords and it is a bit different than the material that we are used to listen by these legends. I listened and reviewed this one for my webzine.

The record contains eight songs, meaning six new songs and two, how should I put it remakes. Why is this record different than the previous releases by this legends? Because this record is a collection of acoustic songs. I don´t think that this is a bad thing, quite the contrary, with this release we are able to hear all the musician skills of Strung Out, the band who influenced so many with their unique blend of technical skatepunk and metal riffs. The songs on this record are in a darker mood, at least I felt like that when I listened. For me somehow the best songs on this record are “Town of Corazon” with a chorus that stayed in my head for days after listening and “Presidio”. I loved how Jason Cruz´s voice sounds better and better with the years. This is different but very fine record.

8,5/10

(record review)EPITAPH ROMANCE-“Eulogy Re-Buried”

Leave a comment

Epitaph Romance are coming from El Paso, Texas and they are playing horrorpunk with metal and horrorrock influences and I had the privilege to listen and review their awesome new album for this webzine.

The album contains 13 songs of full-on energy and darkness with great melodies. The opening samples of “Army of bones” take the listener into triple vocal hell, combining hellish catchy guitar melodies with clean melodic vocals, almost death metal growls and screaming and the combination is awesome. I loved the faster songs like “Ghoul of my dreams” which is one of the best songs on the album in my opinion. The real winner and one of the absolute highlights of the album is “Last goodbye” a perfect hybrid mix of death metal and horrorpunk in one hell of a song with anthemic chorus. I listened to that one on repeat a couple of times! Keyboard parts surprised me in the middle of the song but that only added to the overall drama and gloominess. “The night he came home” is a beautiful ode to Michael Myers, one of the greatest horror legendary characters of all times. “London fog” is a classic horrorpunk anthem and it reminds me a lot of German The Other vocally and stylistically with somehow Iron Maiden guitar riffs. In all, this is a really great album and check it out and support the guys!

7,5/10
