Favorite Horror Oriented Bands

[DieMonsterDie]

What's everyone's favorite bands that write horror oriented lyrics? Mine would be...

Calabrese
Michale Graves
Wednesday 13
The Spookshow
DieMonsterDie
The Other
T-Virus
Ghoultown

[The_Return]

Well not all of his songs are horror related, but Alice Cooper has done his fair share of genre work. Easily my favourite.

Calabrese is a damn good band also IMO. The owe alot to The Misfits (who are a better band), but I still really enjoy theyre music.

[Elvis_Christ]

Misfits
Alice Cooper
White Zombie (La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1)
and any creepy sounding garage band from the 50s or 60s

[Deposable]

Music wise. There is no better Horror Oriented band then The Misfits.

My second pick. The Cramps.

They slipped my mind. I guess I think of them as more sleaze orientated. But yeh their early stuff is a lot more horror orientated. Human Fly is a fucking amazing tune. That live DVD at the mental institute is worth checking out to see the O.G lineup in action.

[urgeok]

although not 100% horror oriented (thank god) i love Blue Oyster Cult for the horror oriented songs they've done ..

Joan Crawford Has Risen From The Grave
Godzilla
Dont Fear The Reaper
Black Blade (more heroic fantasy)
lots more ..


I personally think horror oriented bands are a one line joke ... they guys that dress up and everything they do and sing and say are all about horror.
pathetically without depth, completely uninteresting after the initial exposure.

gott a love "Surfin' Dead" from Return of the Living Dead....



Ah, my favorite brain soup -
Cream of nowhere

Ooh baby, your asphalt eater hung ten
The hoedads and gremmies say you reached top end
So do the dead, through the lights
The surfin' dead, oooh make it tight
The livin' dead now baby lose their heads
Now baby, doin' the dead

Yeah you're a high-rev hauler with all four on the floor
But your a-bone's busted and you're through the door
So do the dead, juice the Coupe
Come on the livin' dead, ooh you're in the soup
The livin' dead now baby, like I said now baby, do the dead

Your carburetor don't carb, got a hammer down this
Your generator gens but your pistons don't work
Do the dead, run for ten
The surfin dead, c'mon turn it in
The livin' dead insist, it's the latest twist, do the dead
Run run run run, now do it

Stay sick!

You square brains out there better beware

Oh this phantom driver down in the ground
You better plant 'em right or they'll come around
Move out baby, move that mound
Or they'll dig it up and they'll shut you down
So c'mon, aw c'mon, aw c'mon . . .

Now life is short and it's filled with stuff
So let me know baby when you've had enough
Oh do the dead, turn blue
Yeah the surfin' dead, as dead as you
There's nothing on the radio when you're dead
There's nothing at the movie show when you're dead
There's nowhere left for you to go when you're dead
Do the dead, yeah do the dead
Do the dead, surfin' dead







"Your generator gens but your pistons don't..........work"


makes me laugh every time ..

Dont Fear The Reaper

I wouldnt really call that horror related...damn good song of course, but just 'cause it mentions "the Reaper" doesnt really make it horror.

Have you seen The Stand, Urge? I would assume that you have....great use of that song. I didnt bother to watch the whole thing, but that opening scene was awesome.

it doesnt just mention the reaper - it is all about the reaper ... death ..etc

between the mood of the song and the lyrics .. i'd say it fits in with the horror deal .


Dont´t Fear (the Reaper) by Blue Oyster Cult


All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear that she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared (saying don't be afraid)
Come on baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backwards and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)

What about Bauhaus?

never thought of them as a horror band - just one song (bela lugosi's dead)


i guess Alien Sex Fiend were to some extent - but they had a sense of humor about it.

[The Mothman]

Last Caress=The ultimate horror song.

[CrimsonFiend138]

THE MISFITS ARE THE BEST, My favorite band.

Nekromantix, I liked Graves alot. I'm still venturing into the horror scene of music.

Not a big Hardcore Horror metal person.

Samhain and Danzig also.

[Lala_Sound]

This song freaks me out:

I've been hiding in the shadows
I've been waiting in the dark
To drive this blade straight through your heart
I'll drag your body to the car
As blood races down my arm
I bet everyone will wonder where you are
(Wonder where you are)

I'll hide you in my walls your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit, pretend to be you
Your friends will like you more than they used to

Dear diary my teenage bulls**t has a body count (Count)
I think it's 6 going on 7 now (7 now)

I've been dreaming about you
In a pool of your own blood
With your eyes gauged out
By the work of my thumbs
The scent of your insides
From under the floorboard
The perfect perfume
For settling a score

I'll hide you in my walls your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit, pretend to be you
Your friends will like you more than they used to

Ride the wings of...
Ride the wings of...
Ride the wings of...
Ride the wings of Pestilance

my band is supposed to be doing a cover of this but I can't say "Gauge" and thats the part I'm meant to sing ;[ ARGH

[urgeok]

how about the band that had the best horror name ever - but didn't do one single song relating to horror :

Tha Zombies

[CrimsonFiend138]

Yeah, the stuff that did was very opposite of what you might think of a band named The Zombies.

[The Flayed One]

I don't know how I missed Wednesday 13 all these years. Those guys are fucking awesome, an I just heard them the other day for the first time! Another reason I love internet radio!

[VampiricClown]

The Misfits are at the top.

I also like MurderDolls though.

[Hate_Breeder]

You cant mention Horror without these bands

Blitzkid
Demented Are Go
Balzac
The Meteors

Thats all you need

[Burning in Hell]

Well, for those who like a healthy dose of metal in the evening, there is King Diamond. The guy has done a dozen or so albums, all of them concept albums about a horror story.

[Suspiria 666]

Slipknot?



Marilyn Manson?

[CrimsonFiend138]

I love alot of bands but the Fits are my Favorite. I love all versions not just Danzig.

When I first heard Halloween I thoughtl, man these guys suck but they sang about Halloween, I'm like WOW these guys are sweet.

Then I started getting into them and i think they are one of the coolest bands ever, completly original.

I always loved halloween and horror and to hear a band that sang about that stuff, it was somthin i never knew was out there, I mean i'm not a metal head and to hear them and Voices like Glenn Danzig and Mike Graves I thought they were awsome.

Fiend for Life baby :)
