V/A | Dennis Dread’s Halloween Mix

Happy Halloween Aah, I sure am enjoying this mix from Cosmic Hearse…what, the download link is down? Sorry, you should have thought of that when I posted it 2 years ago. That was already a full year after the original Hearse post! Huh! Looks like yoooou’re a little behind.

But wait, now that I check the post turns out I’ve been listening to Part 2. The mp3 folder is simply labeled “Happy Halloween”, etc. Well…they’re both great. Haha. The absurdity of this blog is…terrifying? Yes! MwahahahHAHAHAHA!

But seriously, I’ve got the other one. Let’s pretend it’s one Frankenstein’s monster of a mix, pretending that Frankenstein’s monster was two Frankenstein’s monsters put together… Well try and stop me!

Great mix of old Metal, Horror Rock, Scary Punk, Spooky Synth, Occultish Psyche Folk, Fun Festering Rockabilly, movie soundtracks and straight up novelty songs. Both volumes are eerily excellent but I’m partial to volume 2 for the Hitchcock intro/outro and the Lovecraft spoken piece and the other interludes are pretty cool.

Ultra-rare Japanese Black Metal! Early demo-like Ghost! The dudes from Von gone Goth! Entombed covering Roky Erickson! Saturnalia Temple! Clara Rockmore! The Munsters Theme!

The mind reels. Also, it sounds like this is an actual tape. Like he made a real mixtape and transferred it to separate mp3s. A lot of these bands are pretty lo-fi, but there’s an overall analog feel to it. I salute this effort. It gives it a perfect feel of old spookiness. It’s like a tape you find in the attic of an abandoned house.

‡‡‡‡‡

Ok. So, I am an asshole for reviewing mixtapes that are not even publicly available anymore.

I am not posting direct download links on this blog ever, like ever. But maybe I know a guy. And maybe this guy says what you’re looking for is already staring you right in the face, buddy. You might feel dumb about this but maybe you can save face. I mean, it would be great is there were an extension to the downloading…period. Get me?

Ahh, forget it. It’s not for you.

Along with Cosmic Hearse you should also already be following Dennis Dread’s blog The Battle For Art!

Unless you’re…afraaaaid….

Happy Halloween. rar %
