Lobster Johnson: The Pirate's Ghost (#1 of 3)

So, Lobster Johnson is back in a story that has a Scooby Doo feel but, as we know, nothing is as it seems in the Magnola universe. It is a great read with great art that is mysterious right now but, lets see where it all goes. It is a mini series so you'd expect stuff to go quick and fast but, so far hasn't. I cannot wait to see where the claw of justice leads to in the end!

Lord of Gore (#2)

So, as this Horror movie continues to come to life, all the fingers are being pointed in different directions on who the killer is but, no one is being arrested as the mystery (and body count) grow! There is so much happening that I don't want to ruin the goods but, you really need to give this book a read! It is fantastic and the art is bad ass as the Headsman has jumped from the screen to real life and is reeking havoc on just about everyone in his path!

Mutant Reavers - Secrets of the Cyborg Crypt

Well, well, well folks! Long time no hear from you ghouls! So, let us change that shall we by making some noise as this is the 3rd (and latest!) offering from the Mutant Reavers! It is a fantastic 6 song release that will have you moving, grooving and thrashing in no time! This little band from Germany has done it again with an infectious release from beyond the stars that takes you by the throat and doesn't let go! The whole album is really a fantastic listen as the intro grabs you and doesn't let go until the final riff of "Vengeance on Wheels". These mutants have done it again as they continue to release quality and, at just over 20 minutes, they leave you wanting more and more and more. So, grab a copy now before you end up in Trap city as these mutants mean business as they bring the goods, Horror and heaviness yet again and I am glad that they did!

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!

The Bastards - Making A Monster

Get your sewing kits out as we get to make monsters with those Bastards have done it again with the release of their latest single! If these 2 tracks are what they are hinting for their up coming album (and I know what they are) then we are all in for a treat as they just up the ante again on acoustic Horror Rock! This is an awesome track by a band who is just as awesome! They have not disappointed yet with their releases and I cannot wait to hear the final version of this latest project as I know it will be good! Give these Bastards a listen if you haven't as you will not be disappointed at all with them!

Cavaverman - Deadly touch (featuring Irene Viboras)

With the new EP almost among us, Cavaverman with the help of Irene Viboras, has given us a taste of what to expect with their new single "Deadly Touch". What a song as this duet is top notch and powerful! If the EP is even a quarter this good then we are in for a monster size treat! It's a fun and catchy song that will have listeners wanting more! I think I was even playing air drums at one point! These ghouls have done it again as I cannot wait to hear the whole thing as the goods lay in the dark...until they are unleashed on the world.

Vagora - Death and Dreams

I'd say something stupid like I love my job but, this is not a job. Sharing the goods with you guys has become a passion of mine! So, when I got a chance to hear the unmastered mixes of the new EP, I JUMPED at the chance! Vagora is one of my favorite bands going as each new release is a little different then the last and this one follows in that tradition. No band should ever limit themselves to releasing the same material over and over again. From the opener "Death Dealer" it grabs your attention as it flows into the really catchy, old school "Stranger of the Two". This is followed up by a song that reminds me of 80s Cure "December Baby" and the closer "Dream Dealer" that starts off a littler differently in a dream sequence type sound into a whole other animal! This is a bit of Vagora in a tiny package that is good for new fans looking for a taste and older fans who just love the band! It is really a great listen and I cannot wait for the preoder to hit the web! Standouts? All 4 songs! It is really good as there is no weak point on here and it's the unmastered tracks! Imagine when it's all mastered and everything! seriously, it's a fantastic listen!
