Venom Lords formed in Chicago in 2004. They like zombie movies, cocktails, rock , country, swing, metal...you name it. Dan and Gina share guitar duties and vocals. Joining them is Gina’s former bandmate from the Pillowmints, Amy on bass and Tennesee trasplant, Scott on drums. With a few chords, they plow through songs paying tribute to Zombie Movies’ father, George Romero, and various other B-Movies. If you take a listen, you just may be able to save yourself in the event you are trapped in a house or world full of flesh eating zombies.
Venom Lords new video for the song, Dead Hate You, was recently mentioned on AMC’s Monsterfest and is in rotation on the local JBTV. Written and directed by L.A’s Seth Sherwood. You can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thbjSrb8CGM
Venom Lords will be playing through the summer and recording their third album.
The sweet and syrupy powerful vocals of Lexi Lawsuit (often compared to Siouxsie Sioux), combined with catchy yet haunting guitar melodies, spooky keyboards, and the steady throbbing rhythmic percussion...it's horror pop cabaret that packs a punch.
Hailing from the underbelly of Buffalo NY, The Rabies emerged in 2003 and acquired a faithful following, all claiming to have been "infected" by the new buzz. With their concoction of punk, new wave, goth, and in-you-face rock-n-roll, The Rabies aren't here for a campfire sing along...they are here to wake the dead!
They might just do that...their first demo album entitled "Get Infected!!!" was recorded in the attic of a haunted house. It received air play across radio stations in Great Britain, Spain, France, Australia, and the US. It debuted at number 21 on the 'Most Played Albums' list at Three D Radio 93.7 FM in Australia, ranked at number 6 on MP3.com, and number 1 Gothic genre (NY) on Myspace.com.
Their much anticipated second album entitled "Night Terror" was released in August of 2008. Offering a higher production value than its predecessor, songs like "Vampyre's Kiss", "Eleanor", "Domination of the Dead", and "Ghost in the Graveyard" keep fans on the edge of their seats, addicted to the rewind button.
Since they materialized on the scene, The Rabies have toured the US extensively and have shared the stage with such bands as The Buzzcocks, The Dickies, The Adicts, Wilco, The Murder Junkies, The Saints, The Koffin Kats, Trashlight Vision, The Voodoo Glow Skulls, DOA, Green Jello, The Gore Gore Girls, Slaughter and the Dogs, Penis Flytrap, Billy Talent and more. They also joined 45 GRAVE for two tours in both the Spring and the Fall of 2006.
They have worked with Goo Goo Doll Robby Takac's "Music Is Art" organization, worked with Hot Topic, and played on Van's Warped Tour. They also performed live to air on the Fangoria Radio show (hosted by Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider and horror movie actress Debbie Rochon) on Sirius Satellite Radio, and currently have endorsements with Coffin Case, Trash Queen Clothing, and Hot Picks.
No matter how much you dare to resist, they will infect you...The Rabies are contagious.
The HORRiFiCS sprang from the depths of the Dallas/Ft.Worth music scene. Shadows given substance, the FEARsome four are HELLbent ..ging the unsuspecting kicking and screaming into their world of mist shrouded nightmares. Those brave enough to willingly enter this splatter house of chills find themselves haunted by sonic tales of HORROR, the MACABRE, and Halloween. A unique blend of fast paced punk rock catchiness and heavy metal skull crunching power, all seasoned with catchy sing-a-long choruses. Resulting in a witch's brew of frightening fun.
At the center of this phantom four piece stands lead vocalist and HORRiFiCS founder, GRUESOME. Known for his work with his prior splatter rock outfit EERiE Ln., this figure in black howls hymns of b-movie mischief and tongue-in-cheek TERROR. Directly on his right the flesh hungry T-ViRUS wields his bass with the intensity of a wolf devouring a fallen lamb. On Gruesome's left the horror known only as Wretched, who's guitar riffs grind like a chainsaw through the porcelain perfection of human bone. From behind his drum kit SHRiEKS' drum lines anchor this swirling chaos with a psychotic precision all his own. Testimony to this band's murderous convictions.
The HORRiFiCS hail from an unknown providence with a skyline perpetually peppered by the black shapes of crows and bats in flight. A DARK corner of the human psyche lit only by the flickering glow of jack-o-lantern grins. A place were Autumn reigns and twilight is eternal. You have been warned.

Info:
The Reanimated was spawned in Northern KY in the winter of 2007. Bassist Erik Stitches and guitarist Adam Alone were working together on a small handful of songs just for kicks. Drummer Jason Hell was then added to lay drum tracks down on the material. It was almost immediate that the three realized the project (originally titled "Fury 58") was shaping up to be something much more than just a little side gig. With the few songs in hand, vocalist James Bondage was asked to come in and write lyrics for the tracks. Jimi's trademark writing style and insane vocal ability sealed the project's fate. The band was christened "The Reanimated" and it was taken on as a full time band.
With the originals in hand, the band set out to take the world by the throat. Playing shows and promoting the band at breakneck speeds, The Reanimated started getting noticed for their catchy songs and furious live sets. Things were going in the right direction but something was still missing. As good as the material was the band realized that it could be better. The decision was then made to bring in a second guitarist to fill out the sound. Erik Stitches made one call to longtime scene veteran and friend Sean Sleaze. Sean toured and recorded with the band for about a year before departing to pursue other projects. New guitarist Greg Gallows was added to the fold in august of 2008. Greg continues to bring the metal!
With a collective interest in bad movies, bad beer and lightsaber fights, The Reanimated continue to push forward with attitude and a relentless work ethic. So next time The Reanimated come to your town, hold on to your seat! It's a show you will never forget as we continue to bring the very best in horror possible!
1905, E.T. came to earth and impregnated a woman in the town of Riverside, CA. She died 2 days later. Nearly 100 years have past since this horrific encounter and the womans remains have been discovered to show, she has given birth to triplets. Chris Zero plays guitar and sings, Jonny B. on drums & backup vox, The Goon on bass. Back To Zero has been together since early 2002 and continue to be hazardous to human life. No one is safe.
Under A Nightmare began in the fall of 2002 in Pittsburgh, PA with guitarist/singer Coffin Keenan, Bassist Jordy Coroner, and The Cubscout on Drums. Marky Madness joined UAN in late 2003 as a guitarist/singer. After rehersing for months a demo titled as "I Thought She Was Dead" was recorded for fun in Jamestown, NY. The recording was sloppy and mostly made up in the studio on the spot but led to the band later being more serious and persuing a full length debut release "Valley Of The Scarecrow", recorded in Pittsburgh, PA and to be released on NJ's Crypt of Blood Records. The album never got a real release and since then every album has been put out by the band themselves DIY. By 2004 gigs started coming frequent in Pennylvania and shows started branching out to neighboring east coast states. Friendships with bands such as Late Night Zero, Blitzkid, Children of October and many more started forging and have lasted. The band returned to Jamestown, NY in April 2005 to record around ten songs for what would be "Return Of The Rot" a short album or long EP of sorts. Most of the rest of 2005 was spent touring the east coast. Throughout 2006 Under A Nightmare played many large shows with bands like The Misfits, Serpenteens, Independents, Boney Fiend, Rosedales, Dr. Chud's X-Ward. The band were also featured on Solomon Mortomur's "It Came From Trafalgar" horror movie soundtrack with the song Midnight Stroll. By September 2006 a new ablum titled "Monsters 89" was recorded in Ambridge, PA featuring 23 songs and most of the bands most popular songs to date. The Rest of 2006 and most of 2007 held very heavy touring of the east coast spot to spot as possible. Currently in 2008, Under A Nightmare are planning a tour of the entire U.S., Dave Wild has joined as drummer, as well as releasing a new album "Cemetery Getaway". Future plans are to get out to as many places in as many states and countries as possible!

In the Spring of 2004 the Dead Vampires full line up busted out of their crypt and unleashed their unique sound on the unsuspecting Seattle Nightlife, armed with one mission...to transform everyone into lifeless, blood crazed, vampire groupies........................ With a unique musical style that could be described as The Misfits getting in a fistfight with Devo, they have indeed developed a strong following, and their live shows have become legendary spectacles not to be missed...................... Kind of like a horror circus on LSD, their first full length album "We Are The Dead Vampires" has already gotten strong accolades from a few horror publications, including Rue Morgue magazine which claimed "Dead Vampires have all the skills to match their chills and this kooky collection of feel good shock n roll will leave bats in your booze, goblins in your gitch and a song inside your severed head"................... With the coming of Halloween 2008, Dead Vampires will return to the horror rock arena with a brand new record titled "The Day After Halloween" , plus an all-new live rhythm section and stage mayhem the likes of which Seattle has never seen before.
The EverDead, simply put, is a Rock 'n Roll band inspired by the macabre (the horrific, the dark, and the evil) elements of both fiction and reality.
The EverDead is:
Adam Dravean - Vocals
Robert Baron - Bass
Sam Bones - Guitars
Michael Mortis - Keyboards
Bludlux - Drums
Formed in the spring of 2000, The EverDead emerged upon the streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan with the desire to make good music in a local scene dominated by cookie cutter "Nu-Metal", "Pop Punk", and "Christian Hardcore" bands. Adhering to the musical ethic, "if it can be considered Rock 'n Roll, we'll play it", The EverDead forged a sound that drew influence from the far reaches of the Rock 'n Roll genre (Metal, Punk, Goth, Rockabilly, Industrial, etc.).
However, due to constant lineup changes (Only Dravean and The Baron have remained since the beginning), their refusal to conform to the local scene, and the fact that they were considered too vulgar and/or evil to play at many local venues, The EverDead were forced to play sporadically. Despite these setbacks, they still managed to forge a name for themselves by putting on energetic and often outlandish performances while simultaneously gaining fans worldwide through the magic of the Internet.
On Halloween 2002, The EverDead released their debut CD, the "Slumber Party Massacre E.P.", which consisted of some of the bands more poppy sounding horror punk songs. The CD was very well received and sold out quickly, so the band followed it up with a "special edition" version of the EP that contained a better mix as well as a handful of bonus tracks and cover songs. This re-release of the CD, ingeniously titled "Slumber Party Massacre II", was released on August 9th 2003 at the @ntiFEST Horror Rock Festival.
Now, after nearly two years of silence, The EverDead are working on their final album: the long overdue "Zombies, Werewolves, & Demons", which will feature roughly twenty newly recorded tracks.
The Creeper (Vocals, Bass) , Charles Lee Ray(Guitar, Vocals), Rev. Jimmy Grimm (Guitar, Vocals) , Mr. Machine(Drums) ,Katrina Van Tassel(Dancer, Vocals).
Info:
Creepshow 1977 began in the fall of 2003 when The Creeper entered the studio to write and record an 11 song demo, after the demise of his former band, Booty Tank. After the demo was recorded, he began to search for a line-up. Jacob Caskets was the first to join, along with bassist Dan "Bruiser" Reilly. The drummer's slot was filled a mere three weeks before their first show by Mr. Machine. They gigged consistantly over the next year, gaining a small cult following around their respective hometowns. Halloween of 2004 marked the exit of Bruiser on bass, and the addition of Charles Lee Ray on rythym guitar. The band finished out the year with The Creeper taking on bass duties, as well as the frontman slot. February of 2005 marked the addition of Lurch "The Taker" Addams on bass. By this time, the band had played some impressive shows, opening for such noted acts as the Misfits, The Addicts, Wednesday 13 and former Misfits frontman Michale Graves. Since then, the band has become a regular local opener for Wednesday 13, as well as Michale Graves. The band entered Strangelove Studios in Cleveland, OH to record their eagerly awaited debut album NIGHT OF THE CREEP. The album will be released Oct. 21st 2006 at the 4th annual Bloodbash, where they will once again share the stage with Michale Graves. Now, with the departure of Charles Lee Ray, the four-piece Horrorpunk band promises to take NO prisoners, and deliver the most terrifying, outlandish stage show that northern OH, not to mention the WORLD has ever seen. Now signed to 2-4-5 Records, they are ready to crawl form their graves, into your living rooms... Beware the horror of Creepshow 1977!!...
PENIS FLYTRAP is Heavy and Dark Music of Horror, a Modern Day ( of the Dead ) Grand Guignol De' Electrical Metal/Gothic/Punk/Lycanthropic Landscape Music for Monsters..If you seek to know the Darkest Side of Horror envisioned through the Necomantikal Notes of Musical Morbidity fleshed out by 4 Immortal Ghouls, then PENIS FLYTRAP Welcomes you to the Undead Hell that is our Deadworld! Formed in 1994 by Guitarist/Vocalist Elvorian Von Spivey ( who borrowed Drummer Hal Satan from her previous Goth Ensemble "Mi Diablo " ) , PENIS FLYTRAP started as a 3 chord "simplistic punk type band"..but Horror of Horrors! Elvorian and Lucifer Fulci ( Author of SICK-O Novel "Siki City", Creator of the Horror Convention "Splatterpalooza", Ultra Violent Magazine Columnist, Horror Filmaker and member of the Black Metal Band, WORMFOOD ) were such huge Horror Heads that they could not help but want to form this little punk into a Pumpkin Headed Beast! After a year of playing around Unholywood, Cannibalfornia, an offer came about to back up ex 45 GRAVE singer Dinah Cancer on her most popular hit, "Partytime" from the Horror film RETURN of the LIVING DEAD, at an animal benefit show. The Gore the Merrier, and PFT became a Fearsome Foursome. As The Dark Days of Gore passed and splattered upon the walls of woe, PENIS FLYTRAP contributed music to such films as THE DEAD HATE THE LIVING, HOUSE of the DEAD, TEENAGE SPACE VAMPIRES and a few unmentionables! PFT also has graced the stages of the excellent FANGORIA Weekend of Horrors shows and played alongside of fellow gorehounds THE MISFITS, GWAR, Vio-lence and Balzac. The CD's TALES of TERROR, MUSIC for MONSTERS and the most recent DISMEMBERMENT, have all been wonderfully greeted by Ravenous Fans of Carnage and Horror, and in early 2005 PFT will unleash a new CD of Monstrous proportions entitled " THE GRAND GUIGNOL"! In early 2003, changes started to be felt within the flesh of the beast. Musical directions were reconsidered, stage shows and the all around Horror of PFT was being compromised for reasons that needed to be remedied. Exit Dinah Cancer and Hal Satan. With the future at hand and Horror being at the Heart of our Darkness, PENIS FLYTRAP continues much in the same way that it started, with Von Spivey and Fulci DYING to tell us all their stories of the macabre, the strange and the fantastic, all wrapped up in a hellish weave of wicked intent. PFT June 2004.
