After Blitzkid disbanded in 2012.Argyle Goolsby continued his musical work colaborating with some bands like Silent Horror, Michale Graves etc…but most important remained his solo work being dark and beautiful melodic horrorpunk.
He just released new video, and it is a masterpiece as always. Watch it here:
Horrorpunk has often been welcomed guest on the pages of this zine, so it is nice to have it again and this time I review the record by Dead United.
Besides US of A of course, Germany is one of the biggest and richest scenes concerning horrorpunk in the world. I will only mention great bands like The Crimson Ghosts, The Other, Jamey Rottencorpse, The Mutant Reavers etc….
Dead United are one of the younger bands in the scene coming from Wurzburg area which is I think in the beautiful Bavaria. I am not sure if this is the official release but I got it from the band, so what the fuck, I should listen to it and review it. The album contains 16 songs of horror, blood, melody and insanity. Musically Dead United move more in a punkrock and not metal or hardcore area. Vocals kinda remind me of Michale Graves and the music reminds of some of the earlier The Other albums. I prefer my horrorpunk very melodic so, this material lacks some anthemic melodies and memorable choruses that make you hum them every second of the day. But, this is quality horrorpunk that avoided the trap of being somebodys clone what many bands unfortunately are nowadays. You should give a spin to “Bug Attack”m “We are the Fiends” and “Underworld Cats” to name just some of the songs. I am sure we will hear more of Dead United in the coming years.

The new Goatmare and the Hellspades album is out finally! I have been waiting for this album for a long time and when I heard some of the new songs live I knew that the album will be awesome.
The mainman Slavko Goatmare and crew really did it this time. The album contains intro plus 13 tracks of excellent horrorpunk. The new songs are logical continuation where the debut album left off. The lyrics are in Serbian language with a lot of gore stuff but also some tongue in cheek black humour. The song structures are very melodic and just make you sing and hum to the excellent tunes all the time. This band really took the top and became the crown jewel of horrorpunk scene in this region together with Croatian Saucesce. Even if you are not from ex Yugoslavia or Serbia area, you should definitely check out and listen to Goatmare and the Hellspades because this band is awesome. If you want lyric translation, ask them and I am sure they will explain them and translate them to English forya.
