Hi there, this is my first post. Smile

Yeah I only just discovered the genre the other day but I really like what I'm hearing. I'm listening to Wednesday 13 and his bands at the moment. Horror themes, black humour, nice visual style, slight death voice that's not too harsh but harsh enough to keep my interest... really like it.

My only complaint is that, in spite of all the horror elements, the music itself isn't that scary. I'd especially like cliched horror tunes, pipe organs etc.. Does anyone know of any bands like this?? Preferably with that death voice too.

Thanks!

Have you tried Calabrese? they have some decent sound effects going off all the time, their voices are neat too. Ones quite gravely the other is cleaner but it works very well.

Thanks for all your suggestions everyone!

Shadow Reichenstein seem especially interesting.

I may as well chuck a recommendation out as well if anyone's interested. A great little band from Japan called SaTaN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJKkXG5Ijcw

A lot like Wednesday 13 but their tunes sound a lot more old school horror orientated.

Hopefully that guy will win and the horrorpunk scene will get the recognition it deserves.

You should check him out
