It feels like forever since I've done an album review, but I'm pleased to dust off the cobwebs by talking about the debut album from Poland's Fright Night.
I enjoyed their debut release, The Maddest Stories Ever Told (Review here), so was excited to check this new one out.
For those unfamiliar with Fright Night, think Gothic Rock like The 69 Eyes and The Awakening, Horror movies, vampires etc. If that sounds like your thing, you'll love this band.
Every song is well crafted and is a masterclass in this genre. I particularly like the creepy Let The Right One In (named after one of my favourite movies) and the upbeat Each Evil Needs A Home.
Blood On My Blade is a fast slice of catchy Horrorpunk worthy of The Misfits or Blitzkid, and provides a refreshing injection of high octane energy.
The menacing cover of Night Of The Vampire was also a pleasant surprise, and a wonderful tribute to the genius of the late great Roky Erickson.
Overall, this is a great Gothic Rock album and essential listening for fans of the genre.
