Search - Nekromantix :: Curse of the Coffin

Good rockabilly, with a psycho factor

"I think this album can stand up to any rockabilly album, forget limiting this album to the psychobilly genre. Of course this band is no Elvis Presley or Wanda Jackson, but I think they approach that level better than most any psychobilly band, and it would not be an embarassment to suggest the comparison. The fact that they sing about horrorific themes only makes things better, it really gives the music a fun twist.The vocals on this album are great. The lead singer reminds me a bit of what Bob Dylan may have sounded like if he sang psychobilly, if you can imagine that... and the other backup vocalist reminds me of Glen Danzig somewhat. The band is talented and plays with a lot of energy, and the songs are catchy. Even if you aren't a big fan of psycho horrorific themes, I think if you like rock and roll you should be able to appreciate this album."

"I just ordered this on cd, i have i on LP right now and i cant stop playing it. If you liked Return of the Loving Dead, buy this album its as good if not better. best songs survive or die and curse of the coffin."

Horrible compared to the other nekro albums

"i love the nekromantix. i got into them about a year ago from a random purchase of "return of the loving dead."....that album grew on me like a vine...soon after, i went back out and forked over my last 20 for this album....regardless to say, it was a snooze-fest compared to "return."..and yeah, i know the older nekromantix releases werent relative to this one because after hearing the "brought back to life" album, this album still isnt too good...i give it three stars because of some clever brooding intros, a couple keepers and what not and the front cover and artwork is cool, but sadly this is a rather regressive piece of work....it sounded like demos or something..lets just say "brought back to life" is this album done ten times better.





if you are a die hard nekro fan, i 100% recommend this, but for me, ill stick with brought back to life, return, and dead girls dont cry...yes dead girls dont cry is pretty good! back off!



yeah, im sure this album could be knocked up a few "awesome notches" if the sound was remastered....why is it so freaking expensive if the sound quality sucks?"
