Welcome to the grotesque world of The Creepin' Cadavers, where psychobilly meets horror-punk attitude in a five-track debut packed with twisted tales and hard-driving rhythms. Formed in western Massachusetts in 2007, the trio bring together punchy guitar, pounding drums and slapping bass for a melodic but macabre trip through the darker side of rockin' music. Welcome To Arkham introduces a band with a taste for the bizarre and a sound that hits hard.
From the grim humour of “Frankie Dig A Hole” to the eerie atmosphere of “Aquarium”, the songs explore revenge, the walking dead and other suitably disturbing subjects. “Romero” and “Switchblade Serenade” keep the momentum moving, before “Zombies Ate My Homework” delivers a final dose of undead mayhem. Recorded by Chris Daniele, this compact release captures the Creepin' Cadavers at the start of their journey, mixing psychobilly drive with the raw edge of their horror-punk roots.
For fans of horror-themed psychobilly, punk-infused rockabilly and tales from the graveyard, Welcome To Arkham is a short, sharp introduction to the Creepin' Cadavers' world. Five tracks of dark storytelling, melodic hooks and driving rhythms make this CD a neat addition to a psychobilly collection, especially for listeners who like their rock ’n’ roll with a sinister twist.
