THE
VLADIMIRS
'The
Late Hours'
(Hells
Headbangers)
Well
now, this is something different than what I have been getting to
review lately. Not to mention something a little different for Hells
Headbangers to release. We have before a horror themed punk rock
band. You will immediately have to think of Misfits, Samhain and
Danzig (to a lesser extent) when you hear this. Now this might be
partly due to my shallow knowledge of the genre that I am not
summoning up more influences to list. But those influences are
prominent and I do not think the band could or would deny them. I
mean the vocalist even sounds an awful lot like early Glenn Danzig.
The song titles and lyrics draw me in right away being a huge horror
movie hound. I mean there is even a horror movie name as one of their
song titles with “City of The Living Dead”. You have got to love
it or at least I do, at any rate. Everything is done in a pretty
serious sounding way though and they try to capture the frightening
terror of the genre as opposed to just doing a spoof on it like some
bands, not taking it seriously. 'The Late Hours' is a pretty rocking
album, they keep the pace quick, with some nice guitar fills to keep
things a little fuller, so to speak and not so thin like some punk
bands tend to be. The lyrics and choruses are pretty memorable and
you can sing along with them. Not sure what else to say, they are not
a total clone or anything, but again if you like the Misfits and Samhain then I am sure you will dig this, just remember to bring a
shovel and headstone with you.
