Venturing into the Crypt...

[Zzzptm]

For my fourth pick, come with me back to the 1950s for one of the scariest damn songs I know...

Chuck Berry - "Down Bound Train"

The rockabilly rhythm, stripped back sound, minor key, lyrics, it's all metal, decades before the genre existed.

[Vyn]

Number 4:

Judas Priest singing about the Night Crawler. And nope, not the kind you pay to spend time with...

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Bugger... crosses JPs Night Crawler off my list!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick number 4

Black Sabbath - Buried Alive

A vastly underrated song by the boys. Probably another act that might get a second pick.

[Charger]

Oh I had completely forgotten about Night Crawler! Good thing it got onto the list.


For my number 4 I'll venture to the Horrow Show album with my favourite track...Honestly though Tim sung this song to perfection but I could not find a good quality version of it so gotta go with Matt's studio version.

This is about DRACULA

[Vyn]

Number 5:


Been waiting for someone to scoop this up, but I can't wait any longer.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

First time I heard this was on vinyl, and I was blown away, right out the damn window and into the street.

Guaranteed to bring the spooky feeling regardless of time of day or locale!

[Charger]

I have been purpously avoiding Sabbath tunes on these ones as much as possible...trying to maybe bring some song that not everyone is super familiar with..

[Vyn]

Yeah, I was too, but that one is just too much of a ringer.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Pick Number 5... and some post apocalypse musings...

Megadeth - Dawn Patrol

Too short in my opinion, it's always been a favourite of mine!

[Charger]

^^ Didn't even think about that one! Love that little song!



For my 5th pick I'll go with the other horror rock legend, mr ROB ZOMBIE and this one comes from the SUBERB Hellbilly Deluxe 2 album and it's about the diabolical plans of Hitler to create an army of super women...WEREWOLF WOMEN OF THE SS!

And this goes with a movie trailer:

Sadly there wasn't an actual movie to go along with it...

[Zzzptm]

My pick #5 is Deadbolt's "Last Time I Saw Cole". This one's chilling in the portrait it paints of Cole... lots left unsaid, making it that much more haunting of a tale...

[Vyn]

No 6:

Hopefully Cole didn't run into Grandma as described by King Diamond in his tune Welcome Home!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

For pick number 6... lets head off to a WWII death camp...

Foetus - Enter the Exterminator

A sparse, percussive song for the most part, it picks up after a while and even goes into a piece of Peer Gynt's In the Hall of the Mountain King. It's not a song to "love".

[Charger]

For my #6 let's talk about VAMPIRES again!

As Slayer very well knows AT DAWN THEY SLEEP!

[Zzzptm]

Some things make us think of horror... other songs *are* horror!!!

Steve Martin - "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

Because Martin can't sing, he delivers it as a "patter song", which makes it even worse. 

Just to think that it will get you wanting to listen to Slayer or even King Diamond to get the tune out of your system, yes, I *know* this one's a true horror classic!

***

Now for a proper rock horror song...

Metallica - "Trapped Under Ice"

Dude. It's about being trapped. Under ice. Dude!
