No Country For Black Mollies

So I saw this show once on TV where there was this ragtag group of kids that befriended another kid that was different from them. These kids had lost one of their pals and the pal was presumed dead by everyone. But these kids(and the missing kid’s mom) knew different. They knew their friend and […]

Wojciech Golczewski : End Of Transmission

Just when you think you’ve got the year in music all wrapped up with a nice, decorative bow an album pops out from the great ether and grabs you by the lapels and says “You’re not done yet, pal!” That album for me is Wojciech Golczewski’s End Of Transmission. Golczewski is a film composer that […]

Videodrones : Mondo Ferox

“It’s pretty late, yet I still have a couple videotapes left to watch. I burned through some Argento, Fulci, Carpenter; now its time to jump into a stack of Gorgon Videos that I found tucked away in the back room of Video World. Faces of Death, A Night To Dismember, and Evil Dead Trap seem […]

SURVIVE : RR7349

Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein seemed to know what they were doing when they formed and created the score to the Duffer Bros Stranger Things. They captured a feeling in those synth-heavy pieces that you can’t just get from a plug-in you use in some computer-based program. These were hands-on pieces; meticulously strung together using […]

‘Form Hell’ : A Conversation With Victims’ Timothy Fife And Chris Livengood

It seems we’re in a bit of a synth phase, musically. Five years ago you had to go digging for those great heavy synth albums by newer artists or head to some obscure record shop that smells like a mix of mildew, takeout food, and cigarettes and spend and afternoon digging in the crates for […]

Mondomania

This will be a short one, folks. I’ve got a nifty new 10 inch vinyl to spin from my friends(pushers) at Mondotees and Death Waltz. It’s a little project called Victims, and the record is called Form Hell. It’s two tracks of bubbly, delicious heavy synth and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Well, had it […]

Panic Music : Pentagram Home Video’s ‘Who’s Out There?’

Do you remember that obscure film Who’s Out There? from back in 1986. It was one of those sleazy, creepy flicks released by Pentagram Home Video. According to the info found on Pentagram Home Video’s archived web page: “There are many rumours about the production of the 1986 film ‘Who’s Out There’ but information is […]

Psychic Shields VS Flesh-Eating Witches….GO!

Slasher Film Festival Strategy have taken up quite a bit of real estate up in my head since November of 2015. My first foray into the grimy and creepy world of SFFS was with the split they did with Antoni Maovvi. I was really impressed with what I’d heard on that three-song EP, so I […]
