Happy Halloween!

As I relax after posting my most posts in a single month, I want to wish everyone a happy, scary, ghoulish and safe Halloween! May tonight be filled with tons of tricks, treats, spirits of both kinds and scary movies! It's been a long month and I am still not completely caught up on reviews. There will be more to come, that I can guarantee.

An apology

So I noticed that I haven't posted much on here. Well, I owe you, my readers an explanation. I've wanted to write, I wanted to review but, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't. I couldn't write a thing and everything kept piling up during that time. I started this blog to tell the world about the things I liked and share my opinions on albums as well as bands I liked. Through it I've met many people, posted interviews with some of my all time favorites but, I didn't want to see the world at the moment. I don't know if that last part makes sense but it is how I felt. I wanted to shut the world out. In the last couple of weeks I've tried to play catch-up and write the reviews I couldn't before. Check out my thoughts on new music by Gallowmere, Robby Bloodshed and The Bastards along with comics and books. There is much more to come. Again, I'm sorry

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY BLACK HEART! This blog has officially reached 20,000 views! I noticed the numbers while I was updating the reviews this morning!

MISFITS TURN 40

Today, one of my all time favorite bands turns 40. The Misfits is everything I love combined in one. Catchy tunes, twisted humor, horror image and just awesomeness wrapped into one. As dysfunctional as this band is it unites so many people and inspires so many more. They can be seen in so many bands today. And the off shoots? Nothing but quality! Whether it is Danzig or Graves (have only heard a few 30 second clips of the Hideous era so I can't speak on it) handing the vocals, Doyle or Steele even Acey Slade, Jerry Other or Dez on guitars or whoever they have on drums (Joey Image, Mr. Jim, Robo, Marky Ramone, Eric, Dr. Chud, Dave Lombardo) you know that Jerry Only is handling the bass (and vocals too). This is the soundtrack to the lost, lonely, forgotten and outsider. This music, like I said, unites us. That logo, may be a fashion choice for some, is the banner that we unite under. This is family and this is the noise we make. It is never too much horror business but it's just evil all the time!

Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017

I know I have been missing for a chunk of the month but, I want to take the time to thank all my readers for sticking with me through this year! It was been busy with over 200 reviews but, I still got a lot of stuff to review that I have not had the chance yet!

So be safe and stay scary everyone! See you in the new year...

HAPPY THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

3 years ago yesterday I started this blog and 3 years today I posted my first review when I reviewed the sophomore release Vamparty by Black Cat Attack. It has been a wild ride and I love it! The people I have met some awesome people, heard and discovered some awesome stuff AND gotten to communicate with my favorite bands. We are a tight nit community. We may be small when compared to some but we are LOUD AND AWESOME! I may not be the quickest to review things and I apologize for that but,  I am the only one running this blog at the moment and it comes out of my pocket. Am I complaining? NOPE! I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love this thing! So, 3 years in and going strong! Thank you to all the readers and supporters out there, you make me glad I do this.

Stay scary!
