Interview with Doyle Wolfang Von Frankenstein ("Doyle")

In public, he is pretty silent. It seems that he prefers to let his guitar do the talking for him. And it works: Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, ex-Misfits-member and legendary guitar-player in the horror-scene. Lately he changed the name from his own band "Gorgeous Frankenstein" to "Doyle". Thanks to Chris Graves, a good friend of the gang, we were able to ask him why he did so, got some answers about the upcoming album and you can read how masturbation helps him to stay in shape. 

Robby Bloodshed - EP

Robby Bloodshed is called the future of horrorpunk. Well if that’s true, the future is about to begin. The kid is around for quite some time now and even put out some music with several bands, like f.e. Bad Whoremoans. But this review is about his new selftiteld solo-ep. Here you can hear how Robby grew in the last few years as a musician, and in what direction he’s heading…

Andrew Winter and the Reckless Dodgers - Be Prepared

Andrew Winter and the Reckless Dodgers (AWRD) finally released their debut ep. It’s called Be Prepared and came out under Andrew Winter’s co-owned label “Ahoy Hoy! Records” . A four-song-demo and some live-shows in America and Europe already gave us little hints what to expect from the ep. But were you really prepared for the eight-songs of mountain punk since it’s totally different from what we’ve heard from Andrew “Stripes” Winter playing in other bands? For the people wondering  why we write a review about a non-horror album, the answer is simple: we love good music. And AWRD definitely belongs in that category. So reanimate your dead brains and check it out and be prepared…

A drummer is only a drummer is only a drummer is a... right? Not necessarily! Best proof: Andrew 'Stripes' Winter, who is mainly known for sitting behind the drum kit in Blitzkid. But influenced by f.e. Buddy Holly, Green Day and Alkaline Trio, he started a new band "Andrew Winter and the Reckless Dodgers" (AWRD). On the just released AWRD-debut "Be Prepared", the self-proclaimed mountain punk troubadour shows that he can also write songs, play guitar and sing. We talked with him about his debut-album, his first european show in russia and his plans for 2013....

THEM! - Risen From Perdition

What do we have to expect from THEM! ? Well, I know there is a Misfits-coverband around with the same name, but our THEM! are not simply a coverband. They write their own songs and that's how it's got to be: loud and fast! If i had to describe the sound of the band I'd say it's something between the 90's Misfits and the Crimson Ghosts... probably there is a load of other influences.

Interview with Hellgreaser

Hellgreaser is part of the new horrorpunk-breed that is rising in germany right now. Existing for only a year, they already released a debut-ep in the style of The Rosedales and Blitzkid - nothing new to the genre, but kinda unique for the german scene. So they started to grow a small but loyal fanbase.  And the number of these 'Slaves of the Night' expands with every gig. We wanted to learn more about these Greasers from Hell and invited them to our graveyard to ask them some questions.

Dr. Hell - When I Was Just A Little Ghoul...

The clinic of Horror has a new employee among all the already existing doctors. The name is Dr. Hell: A very young band from Germany with three guys and one girl. And in may of this year, they released their debut called When I Was Just A Little Ghoul. The bandname and the title of their album made me think of that cliché horrorpunk that is being produced daily. I have to admit, I was wrong. ’Cause these guys are somewhat of a fresh breeze in this scene where too many bands sound the same and take it all so serious. It’s not fantastic, it’s not all new but… They understand what the word punk is in horrorpunk.
