Amazing Album
by Johnny Gruesome!I attended a local zombie convention in my local mall and I decided to buy a copy of the book and the CD at a vendor where the author of the book also signed my book. After reading it, I was amazed and it became my favorite book!!
Best Stuff Out There!
by keithlatchcomThis CD, a companion piece to the novel Johnny Gruesome, is superb, and I am in no way exaggerating. From the powerful melodies of "Gruesome" to the other-wordly sing-song of "Mary Whispers" and the almost frolicky "Aunt Alicia" these song are a must have for not only horror fans but fans of any great music. PERIOD.
Great Horror Concept Album -- Dark and Funny!
by FreakFaceThis concept album is inspired by the horror fiction, JOHNNY GRUESOME -- a novel and character invented by author and screenwriter Greg Lamberson (you can sample the work at slimeguy.com), which has now become a full-fledged multimedia platform of horror, with this CD and a comic book and halloween mask spin-off.
The concept is about a teenager who comes back from the dead to get vengeance on those who have wronged him, and if the idea sounds lifted from those horror films of the 1950s ("I Was a Teenage Zombie..."), it is because Lamberson and crew are self-consciously and nostalgically riffing on the old school "horror high" vibe with much flair.
Here the hard rock musical stylings of G & Marci Italiano really bring this dead guy to life with a decidedly non-50s, even post-Ramones and post-Cramps, sort of bent, updating these tropes while keeping the nostalgia (in this case, by tapping into the metal scene of the late 1980s or early 90s). And in my opinion, it really works! The hard guitar-driven songs (as well as the few bluesy numbers) on this CD are just a lot of fun to listen to. The singing is both earnest and tongue-in-cheek, rife with subtle ironies that many horror movie fans will enjoy. [Example: You'll do a double-take and then laugh out loud at the pure genius of the song "Over the Hill," when after a series of dismemberments by a woman is outlined, the chorus finally cries, "How could you, Mrs. Dick?"]. The whole album is good-natured like this. The solos are strong, and the songs are well-composed. The song "Death Mobile" is probably my favorite, with its headbanger chorus and audacious lyrics, meant to either be blasted out of your hot rod or to be chanted in unison with...I dunno...a motorcycle zombie gang or something. Download these two songs to get a taste, but also be sure to get the whole album. -- Mike Arnzen, gorelets.com
