Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats-The Night Creeper review

The Night Creeper, by Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats, is their third record, and it shows them progressing. And its fucking fantastic. It has the riffs and vibes of Black Sabbath, with haunting vocals, and a sense of melody that most Stoner Doom Metal bands lack. There are hooks, and dark vibes. It's incindiary. And if anybody doubts their legitimacy, they opened for Black Sabbath on the UK leg of their last tour, which in Doom, that's a hell of a endorsement. They don't copy Sabbath, they put their own dark, melodic spin on the genre.

This record is absolutely phenomenal, dark, abysmal, eerie, and filled with incredible freakin riffs. With lyrics
that are reminscent of old school b movie horror films, they create an atmosphere that literally makes you feel like you are walking down a dark alley in the cold English rain. With songs like Waiting For Blood, Pusher Man, and the title track,  slow, sludgeing Sabbath-esgue riffs, Iron Maiden like guitar harmonies, and hints of dark, disturbed Psychedelia. And songs like Down Town, Melody Lane, that are harmonious, hooking, melodic riffers, that induces headbanging, that will stick in your fucking
head no matter where you are. Psychedelic, Blood Trenched doom with pop sensibilities, a perfect soundtrack to the apocolypse. There's a bouncy, fuzz filled, bluesy waltz called Inside, that just drives me insane. Polar opposites work out extremely nicely here. The closing track, Slow Death, is definitely a very strong point on this album.
The production is vintage, and punchy. It doesn't sound dated, which is a great thing about it. It is so dense, and they are so good at creating ambience, its brilliancy. It's art, pure art.

Marty Mayhem And The Liabilities-Live At The Rifle EP

Marty Mayhem And The Liabilites are a band that formed out of the ashes of the glam punk rock n roll band, The Smokin' Prophets. Marty and the band split, due to creative differences. Marty, the frontman, and lead guitarist of this three piece Punk Rock N' Roll band are phenomenal. The EP is Live, at The Rifle, at their first gig. It's four new tracks, which are in a different direction than the Prophets, but still retains the spirit. It's a bit darker, and real, on songs like Am I A Ghost, sings of being an outcast. It sounds more mature than the prophets, less glammy. They are a powerhouse live band, raw, and real. Marty has really come a long way, from being Lead Guitarist/songwriter in Hollywood Trash, to being a great frontman. No ego, and a serious, talented, amazing musician, singer, and frontman. His voice is like a raspy, pissed off Johnny Thunders, and a hint of Kurt Cobain. This band, for this being their first live gig, are tight as hell. The so
