Cosmic Horror
(Future Light Records)
1962 drive-in trash-classic The Brain that Wouldn't Die included a misshapen man-creature, the pitiable product of a lunatic scientist's experimentation. The melted-faced, pinheaded wretch had been exiled behind a bolted lab door. If he'd had a Fender Jaguar with reverb...
This results when someone welds a whammy bar to a Lovecraft paperback edition.
Apparent from labrynthine song construction is that upper-level thinking had as great a say in these instrumental maraudings as did sparks-flinging eccentricism. Digits blur as six strings carom across territories uncanny. While "Black Hole" arrests in forbidding fashion, it is hardly alone in magnetizing listeners. Intensity abounds, cascading in foamy onrush.
And by squinting over oceanic vastness, one can glimpse bubble-headed, invading saucermen shooting curls.
(For this one-year anniversary edition, Cosmic Horror's tracks have been remixed and remastered. A bonus portion was ladled.)
Recommended: "Planet Terror," "Cosmic Horror," "Into the Abyss," "Black Hole," "Interstellar Madness"
