S/T
(indie release)

By Jonathan Mariante

In the mood for some good, spooky fun? Feel like celebrating Halloween a little early this year? Then give these guys a whirl! They're a goth/metal group in the vein of the Misfits, and they're pretty damn cool! Most of the songs are dark and spooky, but hard rocking, numbers, with lyrics that deal with horror themes. There are plenty of slamming, mosh pit inciting rockers on here, such as "Hallowed Halls", "Demon Princess", "In Your Screams", "Invisible Deity", "Spit It Out", and "The Switch". We also have the bluesy "Manipulator", and the pop flavored "Blood Of The Servant" (which is about the infamous Countess Bathory, who bathed in virgin blood to stay young and beautiful. She has been the subject of many metal songs). And the there's "Mighty Pipes", a short instrumental played entirely on a pipe organ. These guys are a rocking band who have made a frightfully fun CD here. If you like the Misfits or goth/horror rock in general, you'll get into NJC for sure! http://www.newjacobinclub.vze.com
