Screamin' Sins

Living Nightmares

(Self-issued)

It's gratifying that the three perpetrators under consideration chose to continue in the vein of their 2024 Haven For the Damned; bluntly muscular and limber-limbed spectacle, leavened by macabre cultivation. Rugged deploy is enveloped in ghostly echo, further conveying sepulchral aspect. Creep beneath the shelter of this ghastly crazy quilt, constructed as it is from shreds of Psycho, Goth, Swamp Blues, and Punk detritus, and know that spleneticism and desolateness lurk, maws adrip.

In the marble orchard, soil is upheaved.
