Horrorpunk legend Argyle Goolsby just released an excellent new video for Mr Babadook, track from his great album Darken Your Doorstep released earlier this year. I love Blitzkid and their legacy on horrorpunk scene, but Goolsby post Blitz solo work is also great horrorpunk dark music and would love to see him perform live these tracks one day when he arrives on tour in Europe again.
The Witch Will Die Tomorrow just released their second full length album.
The band comes from Chelyabinsk area in Russia and are playing an unusual combination of post punk, goth rock mixed with some horrorpunk influences.
I dont like any post this, post that description in their music, so I could go describing their music as being combination of gothic and horrorpunk. There are some vocal lines and song structures that reminded me of Type O Negative in “Dead Art Thou”. Slow, ritualistic riffs that turn into more aggressive song mesmerized me in “Beetlejuices Revenge”. Some songs made me sad wishing only the comfort in darkness like “Paramour”.
The 8 songs on this album musically and lyrically speak of desolation, despair, fighting the inner demons and all other beautiful themes that made us love horrorpunk and darker side of music. The band put all their stuff for free on Bandcamp but you can donate and show them your support, or you can only share their music so the band see that you appreciate their effort. Nice album.
7,5/10
Allout Helter come from Denver and this is their new album, second full length and first one done for awesome Bird Attack Records.
The album contains 12 tracks of great melodic hardcore punk done with balls and emotion. The album is produced by Trevor Reilly(A Wilhelm Scream).
What I like about this band is that they are really tight with their instruments and there is a lot of metalic influence and riffs in the song structures. The vocals kinda remind me of A Wilhelm Scream and Authority Zero, meaning the singer shouts but also does great melodic lines and this album is so fast paced that the music is one great melodic energetic bomb!
For me the highlights of the album are “Andromeda IV” having great melodic lines in the chorus that made me wish I wrote them, and also “Anthropocene”but all of the songs are excellent and it is really hard to pick some highlights, but of course, everyone will have their favorites, depending on taste. This is an awesome album!
