NEKROMANTIX Brought Back To Life...Again Hellcat ________________________________________________________
This
remastered reissue of an early Necro record contains the original lost
intro and, happily, an alt version of possible best track 'Nekrofelia'
- a lovely (now, there's a word not usually associated with psychobilly...next
month! Demented's Sparky in romantic ballad shock...) Misfits dining with
Roky Erickson flame burner that would melt the most zombiefried
psychobilly's heart. In the main a roughly spliced together literal
monster mash of rampant gonzoid bat-bite 'Billy, with those liquid lunatic
guitar licks that the 'Tix excel at ('Bloody Holiday', the
skulldrumstick smasher 'Horrorscope', which, if the QOTSA chappie
didn't pilfer the intro for 'Whatever You Do' why, I'll eat my
pomade...one of the standouts here, it also features a marvelous stake
through the heart stab at a Randy Rhoads / Iron Maiden twiddle-fest guitar
solo) that sound like a fast motion nature programme of a spiders
gestation period up to and including giving birth then all the babies
spilling out crawling all over, or as on 'Driller Killer' and 'Brought
Back To Life' resembling nothing less that the bubbling over of
brightly coloured liquids of a crazed scientists test tubes while stray
cats strut n' skulk about in the shadows waiting for their time to emerge
('Monster Movie Fan', 'Reincarnated Love') all the while
those cranium crushing bloody hammer voodoo jungle drums and whatever
fucking creature is contained in that infamous coffin bass keep on their
incessant grind creating more eternal undead the world over. Not
essential, but fun and proves it's far better to love the dead than y'know,
love The 'Dead.
