Cult Of The Psychic Fetus - Orgy Of The Dead



Cult Of The Psychic Fetus are a goth-surf-punk-psychobilly band from the "eerie shores of Ohio's Lake Erie," and while these types of bands are typically a dime a dozen, COTPF stand out due to their catchy songwriting and tongue-in-cheek theatrical sound. Although the band plays their songs about dead brides and feasting on the corpses of Christians straight faced, the prevalent mood is one of trashy rock & roll fun. The Cult's greatest asset is its reverb heavy surf guitar work, which adds extra bite to rockers like "Coffin Beggar" and "Dark Stella" and atmosphere to slower numbers such as "Dead Of Night" and "The Hunting Hour." The rest of the band are fantastic too, with lead singer Reverend Doom's howls and moans being especially effective for the material. Anyone who's a fan of the creature feature rock of bands like the Cramps and the Misfits should give this album a shot. It's a hell of a lot of fun.
