THE LURKING CORPSES - Lurking After Midnight
Hells Headbangers Records
THE LURKING CORPSES are horror metal for adults where as GHOST are for kids and mainstream music fans. I got into this Fort Wayne, Indiana band with their last album Workin' for the Devil. That came out in 2014 and they also did a split with NUNSLAUGHTER in 2015. But anyways THE LURKING CORPSES have been around since 2003. Unfortunately I don't have their earlier releases yet. But hey here's their latest.
Musically yeah you're gonna get some 60's style surf riffs mixed in with the eerie MISFITS / SAMHAIN punk and metal theme. Maybe some TYPE O NEGATIVE and 69 EYES influence for you goth types. Add in some thrash riffage plus soundbites from horror movies and there you go. It's Halloween with a good beat and you can slam to it or just bang your fuckin head.
Vocalist Lord Vladimir Von Ghoul does a good Glenn Danzig impersonation as well as some DM vocals and the King Diamond screams. As far as the band goes aside from mainman Lord Vladimir Von Ghoul there's still longtime member The Nameless Horror on bass. After that there's drummer Friar Frightengale who's been with the band a long time. Guitarist Cousin Eerie came on in 2014. He's been the key to making this act more explosive with better riffs and soloing out the wazoo!
In the end you've got fifteen songs perfect for Halloween playing. Then again it could be right fuckin now. For me I like it all now. Not every track is perfect but out of the bunch there's some winners which makes this a killer album. Nuff Said!
