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

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

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!<\/p>\n

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<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

‡‡‡‡‡<\/center><\/p>\n

Ok. So, I am an asshole for reviewing mixtapes that are not even publicly available anymore.<\/p>\n

I am not<\/b> posting direct<\/b> 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>. I mean, it would be great is there were an extension<\/i> to the downloading…period.<\/b> Get me?<\/p>\n

Ahh, forget it. It’s not for you. <\/p>\n

Along with Cosmic Hearse you should also already be following Dennis Dread’s blog The Battle For Art!<\/a><\/p>\n

Unless you’re…afraaaaid<\/i>….<\/p>\n

Happy Halloween. rar %<\/b> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
