In the last two years, Dr. Hell
evolved from being "just
a little ghoul" to one of the best german horrorpunk bands. With
their second full-length album Drunken Zombies, they continue to bring
the "punk" into horrorpunk. But while the band kept their humor in
the lyrics, the music definitely changed. Compared to their debut, Drunken
Zombies has more energy and sounds a bit heavier and snottier. you can
hear on this album that, thanks to many live shows and partys, Dr. Hell grew as
a band.... but still delivers raw punkrock and drunken fun for all you undead
listeners out there.
The
second album from the doctor from hell "Drunken Zombies" starts with
a short but atmospheric organ-intro. I don't really like such kinda first
songs, but to be fair, together with the end of the last song
"Nightmares" it is a pretty nice frame for the whole album. The first
real song is "Bad Tales" that makes you sing-a-long immediately. The following
three songs continue the same way and get stuck in your head with the rough
vocals and a dynamic guitar.
One
of my favorites is the melodic "I Won't Pay For Sex With Rotten
Bitches". A perfect example of a humorous horrorpunk song, in wich you can
even find some deeper meaning...after a few beers! "GGG" is a song
DrHell wrote for the Graveyard Greaser Gang. But that's not the reason why it
is another favorite of mine: first of it's a damn catchy song that totally gets
the spirit of our gang (haha) and second of it is the song of the first
official video by Dr Hell. To quote review from a online fanszine "GGG is
all about being a horrorpunk fan, and could definitely become a bit of an
anthem for horrorpunk fans everywhere"
I
think the title of the next song "Carl the metrosexual werewolf"
speaks for itself: an awesome pop-punk song with whaoo-chorus and a message against social injustices. The second
last song is very unique since it's the first Dr Hell song with the chorus sung
only by their female bassist Ina Insanity.
All
in all Drunken Zombies is definitely one of the best horrorpunk albums this
year and should be played at every graveyard party. If you're looking for serious songs with emotional content, you should
dig up another grave. But if you're ready to have a good time, you're in the
mood for some drinks and dance with Frankenstein til he falls apart again, you
definitely need this cd. Last advice: no matter how drunk you are, never
forget: don't pay for sex with rotten bitches. cheers
