Rival Skulls trade off between Misfits demonizing “Vampyrism Theory” and AFI hardcore “Luciferian Path” with a humorless but pretty damn cool delivery.
A fine mixture of Sabbath and Misfits featuring graciously round guitar work, driving rhythms, and sneaky melodies. Did I mention great soaring harmonies?
Refreshing to hear the roller-rink organ on numbers that could otherwise pass for Black Flag. Check the Bob Seger humping Meatloaf sounds of “Horror Night.”
The Vladimirs are dark and heavy like a beatnik, y’all. While “She’s Been Worshipping the Devil” is one of the funniest death-rock moments since, well, ever.
