EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Brand new studio album by the Viennese horror shock rockers on their own label SCHLITZER-PEPI RECORDS. Vinyl first edition with printed inner sleeve and multimedia download code. Shortly before their 20th anniversary, the Viennese cult band around DEAD 'RICHY' GEIN and REVEREND BLOODBATH unleashes 15 new songs on the hungry crowd of fans who have been waiting for two years. The wide corset of their current stylistic range has little in common with the gloomy psychobilly of the early days: The self-confessed horror, B-movie and trash fans play extremely well-versed, hard and atmospheric dark rock, which effortlessly harks back to punk, rock n'Roll, Hard Rock and Gothic elements. The quintet naturally draws on a wealth of historical and fictional horror stories, but also likes to pack biting system criticism into the lyrics ("Off With Their Heads!"). The songs always remain catchy and are crowned by hymn-like refrains - the MISFITS school combines perfectly with shock rock legends like ALICE COOPER or W.A.S.P. "Shock Rock Rebels" is the perfect soundtrack for a foggy walk at the Vienna Central Cemetery - and another highlight of the ZOMBIES discography.
