I've REALLY been digging Entrails & Thrills, the latest Halloween metal release from Cleveland's VANIK! The cassette-only release has been on a near-constant rotation here at the Cemetery, flipping back and forth from side A's killer-riff-laden metal tracks to side B's original "spooky sounds" tracks. The perfect release for the Halloween season!!
I opted for the limited orange cassette version, which came in a custom spraypainted box and included a totally awesome numbered, one-of-a-kind framed drawing from VANIK himself. So worth it!! This one's going straight into my prized Halloween goodies collection.
The standout track for me is "Entrails And Thrills," where that riff just punches you right in the face. Enjoy!
If you're diggin' the sound, go grab yourself a copy (as well as a ton of other crazy swag) over at the VANIK Bandcamp page!
And if you're near the Northeast Ohio area, why not meet me this Saturday in Youngstown, Ohio for The Blackout Cookout 11, where Vanik plays guitar for another insanely killer Cleveland band, Midnight!!
