(record review)Gallowmere-From the Forested North

These guys are new generation of horrorpunk being around since 2013. As they say, they are from the Lovecraftian parts of the world, meaning the good old town of Innsmouth. Whether they are the offspring of Cpt Obed Marsh and his kind, find out by listening to the record that I reviewed for this zine.

The record contains 7 songs of well played horrorpunk. Blitzkid legacy can be heard in A Black Rose and Dreamer Discarnate, but there is also a lot of metalic roots like in Power of the Grave. What I love about this record is the kind of dark and gritty atmosphere that makes my skin goosebumps when I listen to the music. It˙s like the vibe of Lovecraft` s stories, who is my favorite horror author. The lyrics are well written, the music is awesome and this record is another proof that not all horrorpunk records are Misfits clones, like some people think and present our beloved scene.

(news)Horror Section Releasing Self-Titled Debut LP on Vinyl/CD December 7th (Grindhouse Cinema-Inspired Punk Rock)

EP46_Cover_Art

After years of sold-out 7” EPs, singles and comp appearances, St. Louis’ Horror Section finally delivers their highly anticipated self-titled debut full-length on December 7 via Eccentric Pop Records.

These guys have spent years perfecting their grindhouse cinema-inspired punk rock, sharing the stage with contemporary icons like Teenage Bottlerocket and the Lillingtons, and sharing split records with the legendary Dan Vapid and the Cheats (Screeching Weasel / Riverdales).

A teaser single released ahead of the LP (”They’re Inside”, A-side) quickly earned over 20,000 plays on Spotify and sold out on vinyl within a few short weeks.

Horror Section’s LP plays like the punk rock soundtrack to a drive-in slasher flick- a toxic sonic sludge that is equal parts Ramones and Freddie Krueger.

(record review)Miss Dreadful-Evil Hides

Miss Dreadful are horrorpunk/deathrock band from Ohio and I listened and reviewed their latest record for this zine.

a2022304459_10

To get one thing clear at the start of this review, this is not your basic in your face horrorpunk with lots of ooohs and Misfits/Danzig styled vocals. No. This duo consisting of Miss Dreadful and Johnathan Hatter plays a bit different music.  Their music leans more on mystic, atmospheric, horror occult rock and deathrock with some punky elements thrown in here and there and horror  lyrics about death, dark fantasies, madness and blood. The seducing siren melodic voice of Miss Dreadful is what takes this music and carries us as listeners to some other dark but nonetheless attractive dimensions. Like, when we are scared of something, but we just can˙t keep our eyes off of it. The music is slower to midtempo with interesting musical solutions in the song structures and nice melodic lines made as leading threads in the songs. For me, favorite songs on this record are Schizophrenic Psychopatic Love, In Her Grave and Taxidermy Boyfriend.
