In Review: Lady Parasyte's New EP, Sirens

This month local Chicago musician, Lady Parasyte, brought out her new EP titled, Sirens. The six track EP varies in musical style from the ambient opening track, Sirens, to the fast moving, almost metal sounding Are you Dead Yet. Her style cannot be locked down, and varies from electro beats and underlying loops ala Nine Inch Nails, to an almost industrial/techno upbeat that keeps the heart pumping.

DieMonsterDie Fall to Your Knees

I was contacted by Shane Diablo (aka “Meatwhistle”) of the shock rock metal band DieMonsterDie and asked if I would like to do a review of their latest album, “Fall to Your Knees.” I’d never heard of them before so I took a look at their website and MySpace pages and saw the stage makeup and costumes and listened to the songs and was instantly thinking: “Hell Yeah!” I quickly replied and asked them to send the material over so I could check it out.

Man was I impressed. These guys are good. Not only are they talented musician who produce high quality tunes, but also they put on a bloody and shocking horror show to rival the best in the business. Their costumes are morbid, Gothic, sinister, and downright bloody and that was a plus right off the bat. I love the theatrics of shock rock. The music is the real meat for the grinder here though. If you’ve never heard of this band and you like metal and horror then you should head right over to their website and take a look and listen. You will be pleasantly surprised and horrified at the same time.

Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc “Mistress Macabre”

Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc also known as “Mistress Macabre” is not your every day female horror writer. Her novels are graphic, brutal and disturbing. When asked if she has had a difficult time proving herself in the horror field as a female, she tells a story about a man who reluctantly bought her book Michael and told her that he was sure female writers couldn’t scare him. A few months later after reading the book, he called her and told her that it made him sick and he wanted more. She has a large following of readers that agree. She has even made the best seller list on Kindle.
