ATTENTAT ROCK - LE GANG DES SAIGNEURS 1984 (FRA)

Amazing record by this virtually unknown French entity. I don't know to much about these guys, but this record is top notch stuff. To me this is as good as France's classic TRUST and just about as good as most of the English stuff that was coming out at the time. Very well played and very well written material. I really wonder what happened here, these dudes seem prime for the big time. Of course this album is in French but, shit that still doesn't effect the listening experience. Formed in 80, they put out three albums, I still need the first....Anybody? After their third album, guitarist Herve Raynal left the band and they changed their name to PINK ROSE for an album before calling it quits. These guys sometimes remind me of a French version of America's RIOT or Austrailia's HEAVEN and I fucking love both those bands! This is a killer record for classic metal fans..Enjoy!

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD OST + DAWN OF THE DEAD UNRELEASED INCIDENTAL MUSIC

Here's a couple of cool records for our Halloween post, nothing life shattering but, I'm Glad I have both of them. I was going to post the GOBLIN Dawn of the Dead soundtrack with these, but since I have another giant GOBLIN post planned, I guess I'll wait. So here it goes! First we got the killer Night of the Living Dead soundtrack, lots of great stuff on this one. Some dialogue clips and all the neat music from the movie. An zombie fan should have this, so if you don't have please check it out.

Next we got the unreleased incidental music from Dawn of the Dead, this is a little strange and I was surprised that this even existed, its probably been kicking around on the bootleg circuit for years though. A lot of just weird shit here by various artists, hell the PRETTY THINGS even pop up. Plus some really awesome Radio spots, these totally make this album worth it, check it out!

MISSBRUKARNA - KRIGETS GENTLEMAN TAPE 1983 (SWE)

Great fucking tape here from Sweden's MISSBRUKARNA, a killer batch of angry KBD/BLOODSTAINS type punk. Very intense, but very catchy. It's in Swedish so I really have no idea what the songs are about, but they certainly jam. These guys put this tape out by themselves and somehow, unbelievably this never made it to vinyl?? A really great piece of fast punk/hardcore music and only a few filler tracks, most are actually far above average! These dudes also have a great split single with PANIK before this, totally worth a listen, not as angry but really good. Check this one if you dig classic punk and hardcore, you will thank me later.

HORROR SOUNDS OF TERROR L.P. 1979

As seen on TV, almost 30 years ago. Here's another fantastic sound effects record for all you horror fiends and ghouls. Wow what an awesome cover huh? Pretty basic sound effect type shit here. Not as great as "Sounds of Terror" or anything but still a great piece of Halloween wax and worth a listen for sure. This album was packaged with the classic "Goofy Gold" novelty record. Why? Who the fuck knows. Yet another great album I pilfered from the amazing and now defunct Scar Stuff blog, Jason you were the fucking best out there dude. I hate to see you go. Also available on 8-track, for the true collector. More Halloween stuff tomorrow kiddies.....Enjoy!

ANNIVERSARY - GIVE ME A SMILE 1978 (UK)

Certainly a strange one here. I have seen it listed as NWOBHM and they surely look the part, what with that totally lame name and terrible cover, one of them almost looks like he has down syndrome or some other crazy shit. But this has a lot more in common with English punk. There is little to no metal on this single, maybe some rock, but mostly punk sounds. Every song on this is different, one of them is even a little funky and one sounds like old Bruce Springsteen, for fucks sake! Who did these guys think they were appealing to anyway? Despite all that, I did like it. Some of the lyrics are pretty cool and each song is kind of catchy. Di they make a conscious decision to all sport mustache's? Ha Ha, not a bad single at all though and sort of original. Give it spin and see what you think.

ZORRO - 'ARRODS DON'T SELL'EM E.P. 1979 (UK)

Great little piece of wax here. Formed way back in 78, Norwich's ZORRO is hard to categorize. It's hard rock, but kind of punk and sometimes really reminds me of COCK SPARRER, mostly just the title track. All three tracks here are good, but the title track is just so damn catchy and addictive that I rarely listen to the other tracks. I often find myself singing this one in my head. All the tracks here are good though, I like "Soldier Boy" quite alot actually. Great shit here.

GHOSTLY SOUNDS + GHOSTLY SOUNDS: A HAUNTING EXPERIENCE 1974

Here's two, that's right two great sound effects records today for our daily Monster Month post. Both of these charming little gems hold pretty standard horror sounds for the most part. However some of this is still pretty bizarro. I like both of them but I think the second one is just a little cooler, due mostly to the spoken word parts. I really like the "Wolfman attacks Man" track on the second one also, short but very sweet. These two have almost identical covers as far as what I was able to find out, but the back covers are different. There is another record out there also called Ghostly Sounds that I don't have, it was put out by Peter Pan Records, if anyone has it let me know. Both this records have some great moments...Enjoy!

SCIENTIST - SCIENTIST RIDS THE WORLD OF THE EVIL CURSE OF THE VAMPIRES 1981

Here's a weird one for sure, a true oddity in the annals of monster music history. I only found out about this one about a year or so ago, but it's truly an original album. This Dub Reggae record was produced and arranged by Henry "Junjo" Lawes, the rhythms were recorded at Channel One backed by the Roots Radics, and mixed by Scientist at King Tubby's studio. Some of you might be aware of this album due to the fact that several tracks from the album, "Dance of the Vampires", "The Mummy's Shroud", "The Corpse Rises", "Your Teeth In My Neck" and "Plague of Zombies" were featured in the soundtrack to the video game Grand Theft Auto III. Scientist received no royalties for this and sued unsuccessfully. The court ruled that a recording mixer was not considered the author of a musical work, so Rockstar were correct to treat the producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes as the copyright holder. Crazy right and totally wrong, I mean his damn name is on the fucking cover! These beats are vicious and mean and man what an awesome cover. I was really amazed by this record when I first heard it, but I don't really listen to reggae. Great for a Halloween drive by!

RICOCHET - MIDAS LIGHT 1980 (UK)

Fantastic fucking single here, these guys are on fire. A total NWOBHM masterpiece in my opinion. Formed in 80, this is their only piece of wax. The first track "Midas Light" is upbeat and full of energy. Catchy as fuck, I love it. Then the B-Side is equally rocking if not even better. A bluesy fast paced rocker, also damn catchy and infectious.These guys and this recording are a little rough around the edges, but that only adds to the proceedings. Classic shit, check it out.

Here is the ultimate Halloween classic, I have been meaning to get this one out of the way for quite sometime now. If you haven't heard it, get it now and if you have you already know what awesome monster music that it holds. This record has been ripped off and re-recorded a million times but this is the original.

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD - SPECIAL EDITION SOUNDTRACK

First let me say this is my all time favorite horror movie, I'm sure of plenty of you don't agree but I don't care. This movie had a profound effect on me and very well may have changed my life forever. After this film I got really into punk and metal, developed a crush on Linnea Quigley that sometimes bordered on Psychotic if not extreme and watched every zombie movie I could get my hands on. My mom actually let me go to the theatre and see this at the tender age of maybe 9 or 10 and by myself no less. To this day I will watch any piece of crap Linnea or Jewel Shepard even have a cameo in. Also the character "Suicide" was very important to me and later in life I found myself relating to him in the weirdest ways, I was the only one of my friends with a car and also the most enveloped and obsessed with punk. None of them really liked me they just needed a ride. In the movie he is kind of over the top ridiculous, but somehow he really hit home to me. The scene where he says "you think this is just a costume, this is a way of life", nothing could say it better than that statement. Now that I'm in my 30's and all my old friends are cranking out kids like Disney cranks out animation, I find my self feeling the same fucking way, they just needed a ride. Of course now that I live in Louisville, Ky, I do get a big kick out of seeing them blow it all to hell at the end. All that aside, on a basic level this movie is damn amazing even by today's standards, the f/x are great, the music is killer and the dialogue is some of the best ever put to paper in my opinion. Over the years this little horror flick has amassed a more than huge cult following, I would say that it is starting to rival Rocky Horror, and justly I might say. I can repeat this dialogue from start to finish, most of it without even playing the movie. Anyway here's the killer soundtrack with all the great music from the movie and the best of the dialogue. There is a great bootleg version of the film out there that has most of the edited footage added, including the extended ending, classic! Hunt that shit down if you love this movie, it will make your fucking day. As of midnight tonight this is the beginning of MONSTER MONTH for me and I am planing on putting up a horror related item everyday this month, don't worry I will still post some metal and punk. But it is October after all.
Tonight we make love till we die!

NIGHTDREAMER - NIGHTDREAMER SINGLE 2007 (US)

Here's a little piece of weirdness I did a couple of years ago, I meant to get someone to put it out but never got around to it. So instead I made this little CD-r version. These are two totally different songs I made on the old 8-track. Pretty rough and weird stuff, I doubt anyone will be that surprised, but then again you never know. I have been working on finishing the whole album lately, so I'm throwing this up to see what people think. These are just ruff mixes and they sound like it, but I was happy enough with them to share. Kind of weird emotional stuff. Please be kind ...It's my first time....Ha Ha just kidding I cant wait for the hate mail. I always promised not to use the blog to push my own shit, but since you cant actually purchase this I think were OK...Enjoy the NIGHTDREAMER!

CUDDLY TOYS - GUILLOTINE THEATRE 1979 (IRE)

Good fucking punk/glam/new wave band from Ireland here. This is a pretty strange record and I'm not all together sure how to describe it, but I like it. Formed originally in 77 as RAPED, the CUDDLY TOYS started out just trying to piss people off and they did, I mean with a name like RAPED it couldn't have been that hard right? The Pretty Paedophiles EP, must have helped out a bit also. But eventually against all odds and after a name change they got somewhere and were up to be managed by the one and only Marc Bolan, but sadly he died before this could happen. Leaving the CUDDLY TOYS in nowheresville. This is a pretty strong piece of wax and not all the songs appeal to me, but I give it to these guys for sheer originality. When this record hits it hits pretty hard, but the bad places can be a real thorn at times, but hey that's why we can skip forward on the old CD player right? I really like This cover, it has got to be one of the weirder ones I have seen and does nothing to describe the music it contains, or maybe it does, Ha Ha. Check it out and let me know what you think. 70's Glam fans take note. Great stuff!

BLOODLUST - GUILTY AS SIN 1985 (US)

A fantastic Thrash album from California's BLOODLUST. Formed in 83, to me this sounds like a speed up meaner version of WITCHKILLER. There are moments that are kind of remind me of MOTORHEAD / RUNNING WILD also. This is closer to speed metal than total Thrash due to the true metal parts, but there is some fast stuff. My favorites here are "Soldier of Fortune". "Chainsaw" and "Rising Power". Fucking great metal music, awesome vocals and a ton of energy. Certainly give this one a listen or two.

FORGOTTEN CHILD - FORGOTTEN CHILD 1986 (US)

This one is pretty funny, the vocals here are over the top and that's what drew my attention in the first place. This record is a heavy but kind of Glam proposition. Almost all heavy metal stereotypes are present, screaming vocals, acoustic interludes, sub moronic lyrics and some uber flashy guitar solo's and I don't mean any of that in a bad way. I think this is a very catchy, if neanderthal record. Sometimes there is a AC/DC kind of vibe happening, maybe more in a KROKUS vein, but you get the point. Also maybe a hint of ACCEPT. This is the only album that I have by them, I have read there is another one called "Rock 'n' Roll Salvation", but so far I haven't heard it. I don't think they put out any singles either. This is fun metal record for sure, so give it a listen already!

Now this one is just more of the same, featuring some real 70's obscurities. Of course I have thrown in a couple of classic tracks that should be familiar to alot of you, just for the hell of it.

VIVA - WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON 1981 (GER)

Killer German metal with a cool rock 'n' roll attitude, though you may not have heard of them, they are actually pretty important, they along with ACCEPT and TRANCE, were early progenitors of the classic real metal sound in Germany. Of course I have to mention that this features Barbara Schenker on Keyboards, the sister of Michael and Rudolf Schenker of SCORPIONS. If you love metal, that alone should make you want to hear this. It's not as completely amazing as SCORPIONS or anything, but it's a damn good metal record. It does dip into the "Rock" category quite a bit, but then their are some pretty heavy moments too. The lyrics here are sometimes a little ridiculous, like on the first track "The Bitch" and the vocals are little rough here and there, still it's pretty damn entertaining shit. This is their second album and I would think these fellows would have went over great with the biker set. This is a great but totally retarded cover. I love it. Check it out Dude!

HELL - SCHEMING DEMONS DEMO 1982 (UK)

First of all let me say sorry for not posting as much as usual this week, my wireless connection has just been complete shit. Anyway let's get the makeup session under way. I thought since the last thing I posted was SATAN, why not make today's post HELL. This is a virtually unknown NWOBHM band. Very original stuff here and the vocals are totally strange. The sound quality here isn't the best, considering that this is a rehearsal demo anyway, its pretty listenable. These dudes are criminally under appreciated. The HELL story isn't that different from alot of bands that barely made it out of the basement, so to speak. They did play shows, but this kind of music in 82, wasn't gonna get you anywhere. They did happen to get a piece of vinyl out though. A single called "Save us from those who would save us", a good piece of wax but their demos are much better. This is actually their second demo and they made a little progress here from the first one. The songs are all kind of epic and I guarantee that this isn't like any other Occult band out there. Sadly right as they were signing a deal with MAUSOLEUM, the label collapsed and then so did the band and eventually singer Dave Halliday killed himself via carbon monoxide poisoning. Crazy right. Every old school black metal fan out there should know who these guys are by now. They have since reformed with Martin Walkyier from SABBAT (another fantastic occult act ) on vocals. This picture of them totally reminds me of AGONY BAG and I think fans of that kind of stuff will also dig this. Heartfelt epic occult metal, amazing!

SATAN - DEMOS 1981 & 1982 (UK)

Here are two fucking scorching demos by NWOBHM legends SATAN. Formed way back in 1979 in Newcastle. This band has featured members from such bands as MYTHRA, BLITZKRIEG, TYSONDOG, AVENGER and SARACEN. Practically English royalty right! The first demo here is the first real studio material the band committed to tape and its on fire. These tracks are surprisingly heavy and dark for the time. One of the best demo's I have heard from 81. The track "Executioner" is especially abrasive and tough. The opening riff really surprised me. Each track follows basically the same rocking path to total metal! Two of these songs "Kiss of Death" and "Head's will Roll" appeared on their first single Fans of HELLHAMMER, BATHORY, AVENGER, CLOVEN HOOF, VENOM, take note!

Next we got the "Into The Fire" demo. These guys are a little more polished this time around, but still a very heavy record. This demo features a different line up than the previous demo and in fact most of the recordings these fellows did feature different lineups. The song writing is much more mature this time around, but there is some energy missing. The music on this reminds me a little of early MERCYFUL FATE, but with out the crazy King Diamond vocals.

This is damn good stuff don't get me wrong. Most bands would have killed to make a demo this good in 82, but Its just not as great as their first one. Amazing stuff check it out.

GOBLIN POST NO.2 !!!!!!!!

OK so I promised some more GOBLIN, now here it is. I tried to include a few very important soundtracks and some lesser known gems as well. Of course there is the amazing "Suspiria" and the equally as important and amazing "Deep Red" albums to represent the pinnacle of GOBLIN genius. Now anyone who is already into GOBLIN has already heard these soundtracks, but if you are not familiar with them ,this is a great place to start. Both of these are nothing short of brilliant. Sure I could have added few other major points in GOBLIN career, but then how would I make GOBLIN POST NO.3 happen? The lesser (only in popularity) soundtracks I included here are "Patrick" and "Contamination", great but not as good as the first two I listed, still powerful soundtracks. I have also put up a couple of studio albums that they did, the first "Roller" is totally awesome and up there with GOBLIN'S best material. It was supossed to be a soundtrack but that didnt happen. The next is "Perche Si Uccidono" , this one is actually GOBLIN performing as Iil Reale Impero Britannico with one of my other favorite Italian composer's Mr. Fabio Frizzi. This should have been amazing, but really I found it kind of a let down. I mean this should have been a dream come true for Italian horror music fans, so I will let you decide what you think. GOBLIN fans dig in and enjoy!

PAUL CHAIN VIOLET THEATRE - DETACHING FROM SATAN 1984 (ITA)

Geez, what can "I" say about this record that hasn't been said a thousand times before, not much really. Im sure that plenty of you have heard this record before or at least heard of it and already made up your mind about Paul Chain. But for those who don't know, this is one fantastic piece of vinyl. A classic E.P. by ex-DEATH SS guitarist Paul Chain. DEATH SS is one of the first really heavy bands to come out of Italy in the late 70's and at this point are widely considered Doom metal gods. Now their new material may be another story, but the classic shit is nuts! Back on track here, this E.P. is one of the heaviest records, maybe ever. Im not kidding. This is total SABBATH worship at it's finest, but there is alot more going on here too. The whole Atmosphere of gloom and creepiness makes for some awesome and depressing Doom. I was a fan of DEATH SS before I knew about Paul Chain, But I was shorty clued in after getting the early DEATH SS albums and singles. Totally amazing stuff also, if you have heard them please check them out! This guy has put out well over 30 albums over the last twenty some years and believe me not all of them are as good as this one but, Paul is certainly an original and that never goes unoticed here at Goodnight Whatever You Are. Sometimes this record feels a little like WITCHFINDER GENERAL attempting GOBLIN, ha weird right? Well sort of if it wasn't so goddamn heavy. Did I mention he sings in his own made up language, except for the songs titles!!?? If you dig TROUBLE, PENTAGRAM or ST.VITUS you should certainly check this one out.

BOLLWEEVIL - ROCK SOLID 1981 (UK)

This is such a rocking single, almost punk even and what a great cover too, I don't understand it exactly but I love it. Is that a severed shrunken head? It's certainly not a Boll weevil. This one sounds pretty good to, one of the rough but awesome type recordings. This sort of reminds me a bit of HIGH TREASON at times. The first track here is "Rock Solid", A great straight up rocker, fast paced and energetic as hell. I love the slightly out of tune guitar leads on this one and the vocals are pretty raw. I love the rock 'n' roll style lyrics too. This one is a true gem. The next track here is "Sands of time", this one starts out like a ballad but progresses into a very up beat and again almost punk affair. Another catchy piece of garage metal. There's really some very amateurish about this single and thats what makes it so appealing, great fucking stuff. Yet another band that I just wonder what might have been, if they had only lasted long enough.

BACKWATER - REVELATION 1984 + FINAL STRIKE 1986 (GER)

A couple of great first wave thrash records for you today by Germany's BACKWATER. I got these records from my good friend Marcus from Germany about a year ago. I had the second one on CD already, but I didn't have the first one or either on vinyl. Thanks Marcus! Both of these are really killer beer drinking German thrash metal, very energetic and fun stuff. Thrash with a Rock 'n' Roll attitude. The first one is more in the VENOM mold, but the second shows the band in a little more of a serious thrash/speed direction. If you dig MOTORHEAD, VENOM, ATOMKRAFT, BULLDOZER or WARFARE this should definitely appeal to you. Two great fucking thrashers!REVELATION

Another great slice of NWOBHM here, This time around we have the mighty PROWLER. This single really kills man, I know I say that alot about NWOBHM stuff, but this is a really really good one. Not to be confused with the PROWLER that appeared on the "Brute Force" compilation that MCA put out. This is great head banger, anthemic metal! The first track "Forgotten Angel" is just a flat out rocking mid tempo slammer. The drums are very tribal and heavy with crunchy guitars, great vocals and a blazing solo. This is pretty stripped down, straight forward, fist pumping English metal that could compete with most of the bigger bands of the time. The next track is "Don't let go", another rocker with tons of energy and a good chorus. I can also hear some wicked galloping happening on the guitars, great shit. Over all I really love the way this single sounds, rough but in a very good way. the A-side is a little better track, but both are worth your time and effort. Dig in!

METAL VIRGINS - ANIMAL PEOPLE 1984 (UK)

Now this is a weird record, the cover and name look totally metal but the music is closer to the G.B.H. or DISCHARGE style punk. That's not to say that there is not metal on this album, sometimes it seems like these guys good into straight metal territory at anytime and the solo's on this are really just crazy and sometimes here and there the vocals remind me of Ian Stuart. It's really hard to accurately describe the sound of this record and what the fuck happens to the drums during "Virgins"?. Most of the tracks here are kind of alike, so if you like the first one you know what your in store for. Again a great cover, weird but great just the way I like it.

1. Animal People

2. I'm For Real

3. Feelings

4. Virgins

5. Get Out

DR. MASTERMIND - DR. MASTERMIND 1986 (US)

Here's a fun power metal record from Portland, Oregon's DR. MASTERMIND. Great name even if it's a little ridiculous. This is pretty straight power metal with crazy shredding solo's, lots of double bass and catchy songs. Something here reminds me of PILEDRIVER, I cant put my finger on it really. I heard this record when I was a kid at my Uncle David's house, the same guy that turned me onto METALLICA. He also had both of those PILEDRIVER albums, so maybe it's just me, ha. This features a couple of WILD DOGS members, if you know who they are. These dudes have good E.P. right before this album, that's worth checking out too. This is very entertaining shit, my favorite here tracks are "Domination" and "Black Leather Maniac". Also on a side not here, the current drummer for JOURNEY was in this band, ha ha, crazy right? Don't let that keep you from checking this out though, it's total metal shit!

HADES - ENTRE EL FUEGO Y LA CRUZ 1984 (SPA)

Here's a great one from Spain, I don't know shit about this one but it's in Spanish, it jams and its rare as hell, apparently no copies were ever even actually sold. They were recorded and pressed, but never made it to the public, or so the legend goes. Who knows? If anyone can shed some light on this band for me please do. Musically we've got a great speed almost power metal kind of band with really catchy songs (even if I have no idea what their singing about), with soaring vocals, that are totally metal, a little NWOBHM sounding with a power metal edge. Very good. The solo's are very tasteful and plentiful. All around just a great album and this seems to be their one and only vinyl appearance and hell it didn't even get released. Favorites here are "Entre el Fuego y la Cruz" a very well written track that totally gets stuck in my head and "Hades", the descending guitar riff on this is awesome. Great Spanish metal!
