Normally when using words like “cringe” and “creepy” with regards to our beloved genre, it’s used in a more artistic and horror related manner. Death and Goth Metal aside, a few of the more mainstream Heavy Rock/Metal artists have put pen to paper and come up with some rather cringeworthy lyrics. Call it art from a different era, if you will. Nonetheless, some classic songs (KISS, The Nuge, Winger a.o.) have made us go “Ugh!” and took us down some dark paths that “old time rock n roll” shouldn’t take us. So we gave some of these creepy tunes the once over. And it’s not even Halloween…yet! In our “News, Views, and Tunes”, we discuss the new Maiden and bullies in music school(!) Musically, we crank new tunage from Lucifyre, Gama Bomb, Expunged, Imprecation and introduce Ottawa deathsters Deformatory in our “Indie Spotlight”. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!
