The Ghouls

Alright peoples I am back for some more album reviews. First off I would like to say sorry for taking so damn long to get these in. I've had some teeth problems and didn't want to give a review all jack on pain killers, so anyway lets get right into it.


PITCH UNION
First off is Pitch Union and I have to say that this one is going to be a pass. First off there is only FOUR that's right I said FOUR songs on the album, and the others are remakes of the same four that are already on it. Second they sound like they are trying to be the next Metallica, (hope Lars doesn't sue me for using the name) not that there is anything wrong with that, but at the same time trying to mix Godsmack and TOOL in with it. Again nothing wrong with that I like those bands but, nine minutes is a little long for one song that's the same thing over and over again. I would like to say that they are good musicians and the singer has a strong voice, I just wish he used it more. I would like to hear more out of them in the future but as for this album, pass.

CONCOMBRE ZOMBI
Ok now this is a Psychobilly type band, and I would like to say that I still have a hard time saying the name, not on the same label as Pitch Union but I'm reviewing it anyway. First off it's a buy, when I first heard this band I thought it was Demented Are Go. The singers sound a lot alike, the bassist is great, and from what I hear he hates playing Psycho-type music, strange....very. The drummer is also dead on and "billy" music is not an easy one to play. The only problem I see with this band is the label they are signed to; I would like to see this band sign to another label like HELLCAT, or FAT so they could get the attention they deserve. Other than that pick this album up if you are a fan of bands like NEKROMANTIX, DEMENTED ARE GO, TIGER ARMY, and if you like sing-along parts to songs.

Well I don't want to leave you with only one band to check out so here are two bands you should check out,
as most of you know AFI put out their new album DECEMBERUNDERGROUND this past week on 6.6.06 if you haven't got it go out and pick it up, it's great. Next is a band called DIR EN GREY with WITHERING TO DEATH, I don't know what to say about them but, wow, pick it up if you see it.

This here be Jinx and remember
