What do we
have to expect from THEM! ? Well, I know there is a Misfits-coverband around
with the same name, but our THEM! are not simply a coverband. They
write their own songs and that's how it's got to be: loud and fast! If i had to
describe the sound of the band I'd say it's something between the 90's Misfits and
the Crimson Ghosts... probably there is a load of other influences.
Risen From Perdition is the first release of
this Ghouls from Nuremberg, Germany. It's a well produced ep with six tracks. First of
these Songs is There For Your Blood, it starts with something like a radio intro. After that it will blow you away with a heavy riff. The next song is
Atomic Giant Liizard Thing - my personal favorite – probably because it's about
Godzilla. It has a catchy chorus and a cool bassline followed by a little solo. Up
next we got Graveyard Romeo wich is some kind of a midtempo ballad. Dagon Rises and The Hunger Inside are one track on the record: Dagon slows the whole thing
a little bit down though, but it doesn't mean it's a bad song. The Hunger Inside
kicks fuckin' ass! It has reminds me a bit on the 69 Eyes. If you listen to it, you
gotta scream the lyrics out loud. The last
one is called We Are The Ghouls: a singalong song at it's best. I'm totally into
the backing vocals of that one.
So what
else is to say? All the lyrics are well written and horror-based: simply horrorpunk!
As I said before, the production is good too. So we got a debut record of a
german band wich has great riffs, vocals, lyrics and really doesn't have to
hide behind the bigger bands in the german scene.
Don't try
to bring'em down – They are impossible to beat - BEWARE OF THEM!
