Nekromantix: 'What Happens in Hell, Stays in Hell' CD Review
Let's face it, the psychobilly genre has a pretty rigid set of conventions, and there are hundreds of bands out there still following them pretty closely, fusing old school twelve-bar blues, rock 'n' shuffle and Cramps-style punk attitude with lyrics about surfing vampires, muscle-car-driving werewolves and zombies in love. Among the bands still kicking today, only a handful maintain a strong presence without making a few amendments to the playbook, and Nekromantix is one of those rare few. Maybe it's founder Kim Nekroman's trademark coffin-shaped bass, or the band's talent for making quick and effortless transitions between bouncy Halloween rock and thundering moshpit fodder... whatever their magic formula, they've managed to make it work for over two decades, and fans still dig 'em like a fresh grave. They've just rolled out their eighth studio release What Happens in Hell, Stays in Hell, was one of a few key releases that transformed psychobilly from a largely European phenomenon into an international music movement, and the band has continued to keep that evil spirit alive, along with their peers like Tiger Army, Horrorpops, Guana Batz and The Young Werewolves.
For this release, Nekroman – Mohawk-sporting lead singer and coffin beater – hit the studio with an all-new lineup, including guitarist Franc, who took over from Pete Belair after their previous album Life is a Grave and I Dig It, and drummer Lux, who replaces the late Andy DeMize. Despite the new blood, the Nekromantix sound hasn't changed radically – although there is an extra shot of high-octane juice to a few of these songs, and it goes instantly to your head the moment you hear the opening punk pounder (and first single) "Bats in My Pants." The energy level stays high even in mid-tempo tracks like "NekroTastic Extasy," but a darker, moodier edge also emerges in "Sleepwalker with a Gun," which features some gritty chugging rhythms and lower-range vocals.
As you can probably expect from the title, "Demon Speed" is a high-rolling frantic number, whipped up by Kim's sneering double-tracked lead vocal and turbulent riffage from Franc. The shuffling "Crazy" brings the energy down a notch, but benefits from a warm, burnished guitar sound. The title track is a fairly solid punk rebel anthem, however lacking the aggressive punch it needs to become a classic; but the real treat comes with "I Kissed a Ghoul." As silly as it sounds, this necrophiliac jab at the Katy Perry hit is actually one of the best tracks on the album; instead of going over the top with it, Kim and company opted for a darkly comic, brooding tale of illicit corpse-love.
In My Car Lyrics - News
As an experiment, I stuck a digital thermometer in my car today when I went to work. By the time I went home, the thermometer was reading 128.3 but the LCD was not looking so good at that point. I can't say with 100% certainty that it wasn't hotter
The lyrics are concise but the topics ambitious when Hiatt sings about darkness as refuge, consolation in tribulation and apocalyptic visions. There's a car song, a train song and ---- here's a refreshing angle ---- a song about the joy of marriage.
"Monster Bait" is a fairly light and breezy cut, despite its more violent serial-killer lyrics, and "Triskaedekaphobia" (the medical term for fear of the number 13) closes the album with a sunset of pure vintage surf-rock.
He's always jotting lyrics and thoughts into numerous notebooks and when he was rehearsing for one of his mini-tours, there would be lyrics of many songs of his, new and old, printed out. I continue to be amazed at his command of language.
A label can help whatever your shortcomings are and fill in the blanks sometimes. You're credited with most or all of the songs on your records, what is your inspiration for lyrics and music? I grew up listening to music in the car with my parents.
SHOTS ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR LYRICS - KESHA
Were cruzin' tonight
We got the roof back
More hall and drive
Were at the top (ya)
Foolin' off
Gettin' lost in the city lights
Take it to the hollywood sign
Sometimes I think about it
The world was about to end
I call the people who have been there thur the thick and thin
I'll buy a bottle of the finest scotch there ever was
And we can watch it blow
Into oblivion
And we go down down down like shooting stars
In the night time time time while the worlds still ours
We won't cry cry cry while the ending starts
Were goin' down down down doin' shots on the hood of my car
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
Were goin' down down down doin' shots on the hood of my car
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
Were goin' down down down doin' shots on the hood of my car
Close night
(Ah)
I see the sun rise
I'll take it off
(Ah)
And watch the time fly
Catchin' rides
Ridin' high
In the twilight
Livin' thur these hollywood nights
