It might be you never heard of this one, well neither did I! In fact that’s one of the cool things of the record company as like this they keep it fresh and surprising, however the theme will always be true to the ideals of the record company, hence the name! Enjoy this gothic punk rock horror trip!


First track is called We Belong Dead and It sounds like brought by a band that plays in huge stadiums: it’s punk horror from the top shelf: hard, catchy and really great! Be ready to sing-a-long and enjoy the guitar play!

Another catchy horror track with a really speeded up tempo is called: Jack-o'-Lantern Social Club. I really adore the bass play here, just as the vocals! It’s clear that this band needs more attention and deserves a wide audience!

Friday Night's Alright For Fright'nin' sounds really great and kicks some ass all the way! It’s party time in a punk horror rock kinda way!

Do Not (not) Resuscitate sounds a bit calmer and has a more smoked out kind of feel. Even the vocals sound different here. The lead guitar is doing an excellent job!

The Best Revenge Is Living Hell starts really great: rambling bass, hard hitting drums and a sharp lead guitar. The vocals are like a screaming monster that just woke up from hell and fit the song like handmade gloves!

The last one is pretty catchy with cool lyrics and the perfect sound to keep it going and catch the sticky feel of the chorus: Down, Down to Goblin Town.

It’s a short one, but I really enjoyed every track! The whole EP was overwhelming me all the time with positive feelings. I really hope a lot of people read this review and get interested enough to learn more about them! Enjoy this gothic punk rock horror trip!
