HORRORSCOPE (MEGAFORCE, 1991) Nice Day for a Funeral is a song by Overkill, taken from their fifth studio album, Horrorscope — which I still consider to be their best album, with The Years of Decay coming very close. The main thing that makes Horrorscope stand out compared to The Years of Decay is the production. …
ACTIVE: 1997-2007 Bitch Alert was a punk rock band from Helsinki, Finland. During their ten years of existence, they released four albums. I think I first saw them while they were promoting their debut album in 2001, and I’ve been a fan ever since. The band really struck a nerve — in a positive way. …
STILL NOT BLACK ENOUGH (CASTLE RECORDS, 1995) Black Forever is the third track on W.A.S.P.’s Still Not Black Enough. Even though the album isn’t one I regularly listen to as a whole, the opening track Still Not Black Enough and this one, Black Forever, are among the band’s best songs — and tracks I return …
ACTIVE: 2019– I love death metal — and old school death metal even more. That said, I’m not one of those “true fans” who insist it has to sound demo-level raw (meaning shitty). I’ve always preferred well-played, well-produced metal, regardless of the genre. If I want pure atmosphere and rough sound, I’ll go see a …
THE YEARS OF DECAY (MEGAFORCE, 1989) E.vil N.ever D.ies is a song by Overkill from their 1989 release The Years of Decay. This is the album that really got me into Overkill once and for all. Their previous album was good, sure, but this one was on a totally different level. When I first heard …
ACTIVE: 1980- Now here’s a band I’ve followed… a long time. I think since their Under the Influence album, which was released in 1988. Overkill is one of those bands that have been there with me all along. No matter which album I listen to from them, I feel like coming home. They’ve never felt …
ARISE (ROADRUNNER, 1991) This is the sixth track on Arise, and I consider it to be one of the best songs on the album — if not the best. I could rant all day about Sepultura, but luckily I already have, in a way. So feel free to check out the separate post about the …
EXPERIENCE (XL, 1992) Music Reach (1/2/3/4) is the second track on Experience, the debut studio album by The Prodigy. I got into this album three years after its initial release. Still, Music Reach is a catchy and overall awesome track — just like the entire album, in both its regular and extended versions. And that’s …
ACTIVE: 1998– Well, I don’t know about you, but to me Rob Zombie is pretty much the same as White Zombie — minus all the other members. Since the vocalist and main songwriter are the same, the visuals are the same, and the songs are basically a continuation of what we remember from White Zombie. …
ACTIVE: 2005- Check out the previous post about this pop singer. Since I posted a few Lana sketches, I also want to present a couple of them that I actually painted on a wall. About the choice of colors: as we all know, Russia launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine in 2022. Out of solidarity …
