A review by: | Herzebeth |
I found myself intrigued by these guys name?"Freddy Krueger's Underwear" it's kind of fun and even catchy right? You can actually expect the unexpected when you see a name like this one, I saw their biography in a website (I don't remember where though) I immediately saw the tag "The masters of Horror Metal are back?" I was fascinated to say the least; I finally received their album for reviewing purposes, man this thing is the story everyone wants to hear believe me.
You won't believe your ears dear reader, their music is a huge needle injecting metal directly into your brain; have you ever feel that "Fuck I so want to mosh right now?I don't even care if I do it with my mom and my dog?I need this fucking now" well if you haven't here's the album for you my friend. The entire album is wrapped in awesome super-catchy riffs, the best Bass-lines I've heard since 1988 or something and the most versatile vocalist since that guy in Slayer (I can even hear influences by Vince Neil man, go figure!)
The music has a cool retro feeling, I can't say from which genre though as "Sometimes They Come Back?To Mosh" has Power Metal, Speed Metal, Thrash Metal some Death Growls, Experimental Rock and even a little of "what the hell was that" here and there. Just to be "professional" I'll say they play Thrash Metal but the true facts are written above. I found myself headbanging from the beginning to the end; this album accomplishes its main point as you can see, it's very entertaining, it's aggressive, it's violent, it has great choruses ala Glam Metal, you'll find awesome musicianship and great structures all over the place, even irregular timing and some other things I won't say (buy the album if you want to know)
About the layout and all those things; It's actually fun to see Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger in the flesh)wearing a Lacoste shirt, holding his lethal glove in one hand and a F.K.Ü album in the other one, if you're not impressed by this horror icon you'll get a really crazy F.K.Ü poster inside don't worry. The lyrics?oh man the lyrics?I almost didn't mention them what a fool I am; don't expect insightful phrases or philosophical quotes, the lyrics are all about parodies, horror movies, getting wasted and moshing a lot, you can't ask for more now can you?
This album means lots and lots of fun indeed, you won't regret when you get it believe me, I don't recommend stuff that often so don't think this twice and purchase "Sometimes They Come Back?To Mosh" immediately, this is the craziest album you can get nowadays. Enjoy the moshing and headbang till your neck snaps.
Best Tracks: Hear the entire album man?this is the best way to spend 44 minutes of your life.
