Trash Bats - Trash Bats

Everyone, as I play catch up, I PLEED you to join in singing the hymns of the Trash Bats. Featuring the members of The Bastards, this is a total religious experience in that creepy borderline cult experience. Just love these tunes on the first listen with my absolute favorite being the opener "The Brotherhood" which has you singing along loud and proud by the second chorus. No one drags or seems out of place And the fact that "Hallow's Eve" comes in at a 1 minute and 38 seconds just makes me laugh out loud more then you know. This is a very enjoyable listen as anyone will be joyful while hearing these hymns and sermons through their speakers and earphones. Give it a spin as the bats fly proud and ask you to join them in a celebration of faith. 

Motel Transylvania - Motel Transylvania

So, remember when I said that I couldn't wait to hear more from Italy's own Motel Transylvania? Well, here is their self titled full length and it does not disappoint one bit! Opening with the fantastic "Destination" and it keeps going from there followed by their opus "Motel Transylvania" which is a standout, classic tune,  "Her Last Boogie" is just great, "Drowning" is really cool, "The Night of the Living Dead" is maybe one of my favorites on the album, "4", "Beyond the Light" are both cool, "It's Not So Bad" has some interesting changes, "Dead N' Proud" is some great rockabilly, "Stomp" is catchy as hell and "I Wanna Be Your Ghoul" starts country and then picks right up. These rocking ghouls have got the goods and are not afraid to show it. The monsters have checked out of the motel and are loose on the world.... and it is a good thing that they are. 

Silent Horror - Silver Screen

How long has it been since Silent Horror released a new album? Who cares how long it has been because, trust me when I say this, it was BEYOND worth the wait! The album opens up with the title track that is just infectious and sets the mood for what is to come. That is followed by "King Kong" which is just great, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", "London After Midnight", "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and "Psycho" are just catchy as hell! "House on Haunted Hill" takes those infectious hooks and slows it down slows down while "Phantom of the Opera" is maybe my favorite song on the album. Just love it! All the songs here are just great and I hope we don't have to wait forever to hear new music as Silent Horror NEVER disappoint! Just like the movies that they sing about, their music is just classic.

Horror Vision - Final Broadcast

So, I've had this release for a year and, I need to catch up. This album by Horror Vision is AWESOME! Released by Undead Artists, this is a fun and great release to listen to to get you in that Halloween mood! The album opens with "King of Monsters" which is a fast pace tour de France. This is followed by "Ghosts of mars" which slows it down a little but sounds like a good classic Punk song while  "Critriers" starts off with a rockabilly feel that turns heavy! "Need for Meat" "The Thing", "Vampire Waltz" and "Bathory" bring that good classic Punk sound while "We Will Gonna Get You" is just catchy as hell. The album closes with "Calling Me Monster" which is just a fantastic song to end with. I don't know why I waited so long to tell people about this album but, I am glad I did. If this is the final broadcast, what a way to end it all on. If it's just a name.... don't care, the music is still awesome.

The Brickbats - The Ballroom Gloom and Doom Tomb Tunes Debris

So, I first heard about the Brickbats from an interview by the late great Jason Trixion (R.I.P. I will post a tribute of some of the fallen that I didn't during my absence at some point) and I was hooked. The band then got resurrected and, they kick just as much ass as they did during their original run. This EP is a great listen as it opens with "Ten Bones", "Half-Ghost Heart", my personal favorite track "Who's That Knocking on My Tomb?", "Louder When You Whisper" and "Puppets of Night (Old World Version)". No need to whisper the greatness of the band as the tombs burst from the tomb and knock you right on your ass!

Wednesday 13 - Necrophaze

Those who know me know that I LOVE anything Wednesday 13 puts out. So, is it any surprise that I needed to hear his latest album when it dropped? Here we enter the Neceophaze as Wednesday and his band take us on a trip with a little help from some friends. So enter if you dare or at least curious. The album opens up with some help from the one and only Alice Cooper as the title track just sets up what we are in store for. This is followed by "Bring Your Own Blood" which has a industrial feel to it, "Decompose" which sounds like a classic Wednesday 13 track and "Zodiac" is just heavy. It doesn't end there folks as "Monster" is another classic sounding track with some help from Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil, "The Hearse" which brings to mind some Slayer ala "Dead Skin Mask", "Tie Me a Noose" which is a classic Metal sounding track, followed by the one two classic sounding tracks "Life Will Kill Us All" and "Bury the Hatchet". The album closes with some help from Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom on an awesome cover of "Animal (**** Like A Beast)". Overall, this is a fantastic listen from of the most awesomest musicians on the planet. So enter the Necrophaze if you dare. Warning, you may not make it out to tell about it but you'll really enjoy the ride!

The Bastards - Level 7

Well, it's been a while eh? Why not kick things off with a band and share with you the new Bastards EP Level 7. This was honestly a great and fantastic listen by this horrific duo who brings the quality in music with every new release. Both songs are just fantastic! "Take Me Away" is a beautiful sounding song with great ambiance and mood with the strings while "DESTROY!" brings the fire and sing along chorus that you can help but sing along to! Those Bastards have done it again and I am over the moon loving the tunes. Feels good to do this again!
