The Atomic Bats

Psycho In the City   pre-release demo

(Self-issued)



Hard-lashed instrumental renderings are so compacted that no breathing space exists between them, and therein lies only one element of this work's strength. Infernal, morbid narratives pronounced in subterranean tones factor into grotesque environment. Nearly claustrophobic murk pervades. Psychobilly's dark aspect is clad in metallic hard shell, the product being engrossing and, at one juncture, Kafkaesque.

Recommended: "Psycho Carnival," "Awoke In My Grave," "Les Revenants," "Darkness Comes"

Video: "Psycho Carnival"
