The perfect soundtrack to the rampage of the darkest ruinous shadows expelled from head stone violated revengeful corpses; Roam with the Dead is a storming unrelenting feast of prime psychobilly veined with venomous whispers of punk, rockabilly, and horror punk. Unleashed by Orange County rioters The Grave Slaves, the album is an irresistible and mischievous maelstrom of essential sounds and thrilling energy conjured into an encounter which is tagged as gothabilly. The release is a treat which devours the ear and passions in exchange for the deepest ravenous rewards and unbridled pleasure, it is a two way rapture which leaves one drooling with lust for much more.

There is not much to the background of the band we can tell you about apart from the quartet of vocalist/guitarist Jaysin Graves, lead guitarist Blood Sweat Brett, bassist Sideshow, and drummer Johnny Nails being the perpetrators of the lingering passion which erupts for their tasty sounds, but their sensational release we can enthuse about with knowledge and ardour. Consisting of fourteen graveyard screams forged upon thunderous rhythms, barbarous bass brawls, and hunger driven riffs, the album seizes the heart from the opening strains of track one right through to its final parting spiteful whisper. It draws from the wells providing the previously mentioned sounds before filtrating them through the band’s own expressive venom for a stirring rampant treat.

Opener Suicide breezes in on sirens and an announcement giving fair warning of the carnage to follow. Leaping on all brave enough to stick around the song bursts into romping bass taunts and scarring riffs driven by the impressive vocals of Graves. The track is one which does not venture too far from its core and arguably from the sound one expects from a psychobilly track but nevertheless feeds every desire you could have. The great solo from the guitar of Graves is an additional pleasing flame within the open tempest of villainous musical intent on the charge.

From the strong start things really pick up through firstly the haunting throes of What Have I Become and then a sensational trio of violations soon after. The second song on the release though dances with the ear like a demonic dervish brought through sizzling guitar caresses and exhausting energy. Again the rhythms of the song demand attention but make full payment with their anthemic potency whilst the vocals and heart of the track breathes vibrantly from within a Misfits/Calabrese like gait.

The impressive three prong attack which takes things to even greater triumphant lust comes in the feisty shapes of Outlaw, Maybe Tonight, and Lies. The first track is a delicious uproar of provoking rhythms and compelling riffs surrounding a contagious groove and middle finger charged vocals. It has an air of Nekromantix and Skitzo to its defiant tone and easily has one submissive to its towering excellence. Maybe Some Day is the same in effect, the slowly dawning prowl of the track lifting to a compelling stroll once into its stride. Again the vocals of Graves and the group chants ignite the need to join in whilst the sounds ripple with sinews which ebb and flow through skilled enterprise. The gentler surge of the song leads to the rampaging glory of Lies, a track which grabs the heart and whirls it on a fevered dance of deathly rhythms and expressive melodies. More horror punk than psychobilly in many ways it is a sensational brew from the two genres and pure contagion.

Every track in all honesty is immense and deserves a mention but further personal favourite and highlights come in the psycho pop Devil In Disguise which includes a great flame of harmonica from guest Tony The Harp Man G, the Resurex/Zombie Ghost Train spiced Blood Red, and the excellent instrumental Grave Slaves World which is borne from the same infection causing creative depths that Tiger Army plunder so well.

The schizo treat Crazy Psycho and the final aggressive bruise Till Death also create greater sparks within but every song on the album is a dark tempest to relish and devour with lustful eagerness. Roam with the Dead is a furnace of beatitude and The Grave Slaves one of the best emerging bands within psychobilly and dark tainted rock n roll.

Giving a voice to the heart of the graveyard and brewing a potent irresistibility to its darkest musical shadows UK psychobilly band Doctor Caligari is a band which leaves the heart inflamed and dark hearted tendencies wide awake. The trio from Cardiff produce mischievous slices of rock which in the shape of their self-titled EP just ignites the fullest passions. With a psychobilly core and a strong breath of rock n roll to its presence the release is a contagious riot of energy, sound, and pleasure.

Doctor Caligari began as the solo project of song writer and guitarist Johnny Horror, the band name taken from 1920 German silent horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, though originally the project was to be called Doctor Caligari’s Secret. As he worked on an EP of songs in the closing darkness of 2011 his search for a vocalist linked him up with former Ghostfire member Mr. E. Together the pair decided to move the project from a studio based band to one also embracing the live arena. Next to be recruited was drummer Gwyn Jones whilst for the recording of the Neil Michael Waters produced EP, the band was joined by bassist Joe Grogan (Graveyard Johnny’s, Estevez) and session drummer Stephen MacLachlan (27th Letter Music).

The release begins with the Western scented Creepy Horror Town, a track with heated skies and a golden eager touch to its infectious stroll. The vocals of Mr. E. have a clean yet intimidating tone as he unveils the dark tale whilst the guitar of Horror winds the passions round its every string and note inciting further primal instincts to those teased into play by the stirring bass and drum incitement. The track is a mix of Zombie Ghost Train and Reverend Horton Heat distilled into a refreshing wash of seduction which could grace the latest Tarantino film with ease.

The brilliant She Likes It Spooky steps forward next to unleash its wanton rhythms and compelling grooves. The track stomps through the ear with a viral infection of lingering melodic hooks and rampant rhythms whilst again the great vocals complete the deal for the heart. With his tones on the song one is reminded of Karl Blake in his Shocked Headed Peters guise, the track itself seemingly holding loud whispers of the song I, Bloodbrother Be. As the track romps across its compelling course, voice and limbs are recruited with a not to be denied hunger with a fullest pleasure in place by the time the last delicious note has placed its thrilling touch upon the ear.

The following magnetic storm London After Midnight is just as insatiable and impressive, its transfixing onslaught of thumping rhythms and incendiary sonic teasing an unrelenting joy. The song likes its predecessor riles up the senses with a magnificent embrace of raw edged energy and irresistible rockabilly shadowed playfulness. The guitar of Horror manipulates and taunts with a majestic wink of its eye whilst the bass of Grogan is a pulsating brooding delight adding darker depth against the perpetually excellent vocals. The two tracks side by side make the release an essential psychobilly purchase on their own but the band are if nothing else generous with their quality and thrilling encounters as shown by the next two songs.

The EP is completed by firstly the zombie cored assault The Dirty Dead which offers a senses slapping bass display to drool over whilst once more the guitar lights the skies of a song with sonic flames which burn and seduce. Lastly the outstanding (She’s Got) Corpses in Her Bed is a rampaging bruise of frantic energy and activity from all elements.  It has an unappeasable greed to grab the soul and ignite the feet and as it sets free its unrestrained uproar of sadistic glory with dictating gnawing bass sounds and barbed compelling drums, it simply leaves one exhausted whilst basking in psychobilly at its very best, a statement more than appropriate for the whole of this excellent release.

If you are lucky enough to grab the CD of the EP, but move fast as it is almost sold out, there is the additional triumph of The Curse Of The Monkey’s Paw to get excited over, but even without the song the download version of the EP is a must have for all fans of rock n roll.
