I envisioned foggy forests where tree branches looked like skeleton arms.
#Hellbilly deluxe 2 album cover full
I pictured a dark night where clouds slowly moved past a full moon. I imagined creepy black and white laboratories where glass vials and tubes bubbled with menacing liquids. I mean, isn’t that what the album was going for? Putting aside the futuristic sounds and crisp production, everything about the album screamed out vintage horror. It’s awesome and still as driving as the first time I heard it.īut how does the album fare now? Well, to be honest, when the album came out it already had a “dated” feel. This track is ripe with effects, synths, programmed beats and thick guitars. Anyone who has heard this song can attest to how driving and heavy it is. Plus, the cover artwork was sweet.Īfter a creepy spoken word intro, the album gets underway with “Superbeast”. This album seemed like it could fit my criteria. Now, here was my opportunity to get it for basically half the price of a new CD. I had enjoyed it, but not enough to go out and buy a brand new copy.
I had already heard “Dragula” many times on the radio and seen the video a few times while at friend’s houses.
And in a weird, almost fate-like circumstance, all of the CDs had their bottom spine showing (the one that has the plastic ridges and no information) showing except for one: Hellbilly Deluxe. As per usual, the counter of the store was stacked about 3 feet high with CDs and LPs they had just bought. I was really big into Metallica and Pink Floyd at the time but I wanted something that was a bit more fast-paced, crunchier, and a bit crazier. So, about 10 years ago, I went into the local used CD/record store to check their metal selection.
