When I think of "horrorpunk," only two bands come to mind that I can associate with the term. These are the demonic MISFITS, of course only the old LPs with Glen Danzig, although the records from the 90s with Michale Graves are also quite good, definitely not this new crap with Jerry Only, and the second band is Glen Danzig's successor band, the infamous SAMHAIN. Besides that, there are a handful of bands that are on the "Horrorpunk - road to hell," like BLITZKID, who unfortunately disbanded last year L and WEDNESDAY 13 or MURDERDOLLS from the USA, as well as the awesome THE OTHERS and DER FLUCH from Germany. MAD SIN and the Austrian band BLOODSUCKING ZOMBIES FROM OUTER SPACE also reveal a certain "horrorpunk," but they are more aligned with psychobilly bands.
With the Finnish band SNOW WHITE'S POISON BITE, another band joins the "horrorpunk" scene that fits well lyrically, as far as I can understand, unfortunately I do not have the lyrics or booklet L - point deduction - L, but musically a different wind is blowing. But first, a bit about the background of SNOW WHITE'S POISON BITE, who were founded in 2007 in the Finnish hinterland. Hardly had SWPB their first successes and the first album "The Story of Kristy Killings" on the market, which was in 2010, the band broke up and mastermind Allan "Jeremy Thirteenth" Cotterill stood alone with his guitar in front of the microphone. With three new musicians, it was basically starting over, although the music remained a mix of nu metal, hardcore, metalcore, and alternative metal. Appropriately, they call their style "horrorcore," which makes my jaw drop. Unlike before, they now also perform in corresponding outfits and with songs like "Halloween means death," "Count Dracula Kid!" or "Lurking inside of you," they clearly distinguish themselves from thousands of other young bands and follow their own path. I wish them the best of luck that their path will be successful (hopefully they won't cut me off!).
In addition to the awesome intro and outro, there are nine damn devilishly good songs on the second album, only the eighth song "Zombie Romance," featuring none other than Michale Graves on vocals, deviates from their "horrorcore" style in the first 100 seconds into a lovely 50s rhythm & blues before they hit the gas.
My recommendation: BUY !!! Otherwise, it might happen that Michael Myers knocks on your door!
