Dead Girls Don't Cry

"That eerie twang and ominous vocal you hear is "Black Wedding," the opening theme to Nekromantix's psychobilly B-flick, Dead Girls Don't Cry. Creepy, eh? Dig how it builds to a Benedictine blast, blowing open the church doors in a hail of spitting guitar and double bass, offering a "Backstage Pass to Hell." The church makes for an ironic, inviting maw; you're compelled, if not exactly willing, to enter. You stick around because it's a f*ckin' riot. That has been the Danish trio's (meat)hook---a creepy, fun vibe that is inherently rock n' roll---since singer/coffin bassist Kim Nekroman founded the band in 1989. You might have sampled some of that on their Hellcat (and U.S.) debut, 2002's Return of the Loving Dead. Well, Dead Girls Don't Cry is actually the seventh instance of their signature brand of psychobilly and, thus far, the best. And that's a helluva feat, considering Nekromantix wrote and recorded it on the fly (not unlike a bat out of hell)." -epitaph.com
