Bloodsucking Zombies from Outer Space – a name, to which there is not much left to add. At least to all that, what inevitably unfolds in your mind’s eye: zombies, massacres, and the apocalypse quasi – that much is clear. However, the idea of a zombiesque horror show not even closely pays tribute to the four protagonists: Dead “Richy” Gein (dr, voc), Mr. “Jim” Evilize (guit), Dr. “He-Man” Schreck (bass) and Reverend “Bloodbath” (guit, keys) are not grotesquely painted puppets, rather a sophisticated stage quartet, which has much to offer to both the eye and the ear. Accordingly, it is pretty hard to classify them as a specific genre, as they serve various ones.
This winter the Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space has released a Christmas album. “Bloody Unholy Christmas” is an album that comes with twelve songs. All songs are covers of great hits from amazing bands. So for example did the Austrians cover “Welcome To The Jungle” by Guns’n’Roses in their very own version: With Horrorpunk tunes. The interpretations of Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space are fun and with the joyful tunes, they will get you going along for sure. The radio hits sound almost ironic. Especially when you think of this band being more of a Halloween band than an actual Christmas one. Like a re-interpretation of “Nightmare Before Christmas”.
The album is absolutely catchy. Not only because you know all of these songs since they are radio hits, but also since the interpretations of Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space is a fun one that spreads joy and positive vibes. So get this album to your very own Christmas celebration and enjoy the holidays with “Bloody Unholy Christmas”.
