Nekromantix

Three Decades of Darkle

(Cleopatra)



What distinguishes Cleopatra's steaming-from-oven reissue of their 2019 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD compendium will be instantly apparent to anyone with an eyeball in the center of their brain (to quote Lux): On offer is a two green-vinyl version, in addition to more orthodox formats. (This 30-year anniversary concert was filmed at California's Observatory Theater.) Kim thrashes his coffin-doghouse, as is his infamous wont, while allies Franciso Mesa (foamingly rabid guitar) and Brain mogul Rene D La Muerte (bashing skins beyond recognition) toil at his elbow. Soil-turning morbidness, plus humor dug only by those of bent disposition, ricochets to Saturn's haunted handies, Skelton Knaggs' Universal shooting stages, and climes in which grim ghouls ply deviltries.

Recommended: "Struck by a Wrecking Ball," "Night Nurse," "Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend," "Nekrostatic Extacy," "Gargoyles Over Copenhagen," "Subcultural Girl," "Brought Back to Life," "Horny in a Hearse," "Haunted Cathouse," "Who Killed the Cheerleader"

Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend

(Cleopatra)


Cleopatra has remastered this 1996 effort and added two bonus tracks. (It was the trio's fourth release). Purchasers can select either red or orange vinyl versions. Kim Nekroman's triad project has always dealt in unpalatable topics indigenous to Psychobilly, but with careening flair and a wink that discloses show-business disposition. That personality -- and talents unfurled by the revolving cast of adept accompanists Kim enlisted -- secured lofty stature long ago. For this chapter, he was abetted by drummer Tim Kristensen and guitarist Søren Petersen. 

Recommended: "Demons Are a Girl's Best friend," "Night Nurse," "Sea Of Red," "Technicolor Nightmare," "Hypnotized," "Wanted"
