Atomicat Records’ seasonal album The Horrors of the Black Museum (ACCD124) opens up a casket and unearths twenty-eight ghoulish and bewitching rockers from the vaults of the past. The horror rock sounds are from the genres of Rhythm & Blues, and Rock ‘n’ Roll music, and we include several lesser-known recordings in the shockingly spooky album. The songs are classic titles from the dark and demonic crypts of a bygone era, and the album additionally includes two haunting songs from two modern-day groups.
Doctor Frankenbop and his scary sidekick Psychoshake present twenty-eight eerie and spookily haunting songs within The Horrors Of The Black Museum. The vintage songs are exhumed from the spine-chilling years 1954 through to 1963, and joining in on the shocking scary album are two spine-tingling songs from two modern bands.
The album is gripping home listening, frightening the neighbors, and shocking, and pleasing for Dee Jays who can fill the dance floor with chilling horror rockers! The album showcases carefully selected rhythm & blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and moving, and grooving instrumental howlers for the demonic evening.
