Here's another great new Halloween release, "Hell's Harvest."
The idea in my head for this song was a possessed scarecrow that comes to life to slaughter farm residents. Very Midwest. It's also a different style for me with the strings. I've been open to more experimentation. A little snake charmer sexy vibe, too?
Cool! I really dig this new track. Enjoy!
It's time for another Halloween 'zine review! Growing up as a punk rock kid, I collected many a fanzine through the years. Small, DIY handmade photocopied, low-budget mini magazines that covered all aspects of the music genre, created and produced by the very participants within that scene. There's just something about holding a small magazine that was created and assembled by hand that always felt so tactile and genuine to me. And when I later became a home haunter, I discovered the same medium and immediately began collecting them.
I ended up grabbing the debut issue of Disembodied late last year from Dave's Big Cartel page. I went with the "Box Set" version, as I'm always a sucker for added goodies! In the box, I received the autographed zine itself along with a cool bookmark, pencil, pencil sharpener, pin AND super cool slider puzzle.
And the zine itself is a ton of fun. With a nice, thick two-color cover and black-and-white pages, it takes the incredible essence of Halloween in the 80s and pieces it all out into a handful of great stories (Halloween companies, Halloween haunted houses, Halloween toys, Halloween ads, Halloween costumes, and Halloween TV specials). Add in some fun Halloween-themed word puzzles and games, a page to draw your own haunted house floor plan, and a blank page to draw your own Halloween art, and you have one incredibly awesome Halloween zine.
The debut issue of Disembodied is still available here and is HIGHLY recommended for anyone wanting a shot of that great 80s Halloween magic. Dave really nailed that authentic, old school nostalgia.
The only problem now is having to wait for the next issue to drop! Fingers crossed that we see a new issue yet this October!!
Slasher Dave does it again with a brand new release, "deadicated" to people just like you and me! Home Haunter drops just in time for the Halloween season, featuring 12 new tracks of synthwave/horror/ambient audio goodness. And this time, he has even named tracks after a collection of inspiring and incredible home haunts throughout the country. (I guess Highbury Cemetery will be featured on Volume 2, eh Dave?) :)
We have one week to go, and this one has been powering me through some late nights in the garage. Rocket fuel for home haunters!! Let's go!!
Enjoy!
