"Futuristic, scary and strangely inviting Défago is carving a name for himself in this sonic landscape and the comparisons to Carpenter and Howarth are undeniable; as is the magnitude of influence they left in the 80s horror soundtrack world but look to Défago to see the evolution of the style as he manipulates the commonplace into a whole new creature, using the familiar to alienate and astound, shattering preconceptions as the runtime winds on." Mark Pidgeon -UKHorrorScene.com


GYC001 - Ghoulshow - Tales from the Netherworld

2nd Edition on clear orange cassette! Includes unreleased bonus track!

"a beautiful love song to 50s B-movies via hard electronic dance beats! Ghoulshow has crafted his art and created an album that transports listeners to the worlds he creates digitally offering a highly visual sonic experience and comes highly recommended.” 
Mark Pidgeon - UKHorrorScene.com 

"a horror movie set to a dance beat!" Voodoo Rob's Hellbilly Hollywood

“...has a creepily sinister atmosphere, without losing the synth sound or tempo of EDM, dubstep and drum & bass. Even if you're not usually into this type of music, it's still an enjoyable listen for fans of classic horror film & game soundtracks... ” 
Lilia Tombs - Horrorshock Lolipop

 “Influenced by the minimalist tones of John Carpenter’s early soundtracks and the nightmarish multi-layered compositions of Goblin, Werewolves’ first album, The Rising, paints an audioscape that dares the listener to mentally design creepy narratives of his/her own. This is the music that you will write your film to.” -Gabriele Zuccarini, ZombieHamster.com 

"From the opening track Welcome to horror-mood! Défago grab hold of the listener and refuse to let that grip go; a pulsing yet simple bassline that feels perfectly at home in Escape From New York welcomes the listener before an haunting vocal encased within the beat subtlety captures the imagination starting proceedings nicely." -Mark Pidgeon, Ukhorrorscene.com

 “‘The Rising’ will not inspire you to dance, ‘The Rising’ will inspire you to turn all the lights on and lock all the doors and windows.” -Lucas Klaukien, Paranoid Hitsophrenic

 “Seven tracks of low-budget, horror-themed synth rock, sparse metallic beats and arpeggiated laser sounds. You can almost hear the squeak of a VHS player and the heavy panting of an actor sweating it out in a bad monster costume in the background.” -Josh Gross, Boise Weekly

Making Monster Music: Fogcreature - Wings of Flesh

"When I started working on a bat themed song, I remembered an SNL digital short about giraffes. I basically took the same approach to my song as the one in the skit. "

"Some heavy metal inspired licks with a little of my own horror Dubstep mixed in. I sampled some bat sounds, and some screams. The rest of the vocals I did myself via my phone. I don't get a lot of time to make music, I made this track in about three hours. "

Wings of Flesh is on ...and out Come the Bats which will be available to download from www.graveyardcalling.co.uk on Monday 19th August!

For more music by Fogcreature, check out http://fogcreature.bandcamp.com/

Making Monster Music: Werewolves in Siberia - The House of Nosferatu

"My thought for "The House of Nosferatu" was that in order to give it a vampiric feel, I wanted to incorporate the organ and give it both melody and dissonance.  The slow, brooding bassline is reminiscent of Nosferatu stalking up the stairs.  All the synths that follow kind of complete the WIS sound, making it feel like it could be a song in an 80's vampire movie."

The House of Nosferatu is on ...and out Come the Bats which will be available to download from www.graveyardcalling.co.uk on Monday 19th August!

Making Monster Music: The Cemetery (Ghoulish VIP)

"Originally it started off as a dubstep VIP of “The Cemetery”, A drumstep collaboration between Tommy Creep and I. Starting with the bass and drum sounds from the original track, I slowed all of it down significantly, giving it a really loose, swinging feel. Deriving inspiration from movies, including the original inspiration “I bury the living”, such as “Return of the living dead”, “Cemetery Man”, and “Phantasm”. Once I had really funky groove going with the bass and the drums, I moved on to working on adding the samples from “I bury the living” again, and found a clip in particular very interesting… Where one of the characters says another character’s name, “Bob”."

"I pitched this sample down so it sounded like it was slow and evil and threw a phaser on it, making it sound more like a bass or a really odd instrument sample. That’s the offtime sounding bassy noise during a lot of the intro and during some of the middle as well. This track was heavily influence by the funkiness of artists like OPIUO, Spoonbill, Tipper, etc.. As you can tell, a somewhat common trend in my music, haha!"

The Cemetery (Ghoulish VIP) is on Tales from the Netherworld which is available to download from www.graveyardcalling.co.uk or on cassette directly from Ghoulshow.

Still a couple of Tommy Creep cassettes left so grab one while you can because once they're gone from the shop- they're gone!

Making Monster Music: Ghoulshow - Jungle Voodoo

"Inspired by movies like I Walked with a Zombie, the Zombi films, Curse of the Voodoo, and White Zombie. I was digging jungle and tribal beats a lot at the time and I wanted to make a very cursed or dark-sounding jungle track."

"Groups like M Machine, DubFX and Caravan Palace were frequently found all over my playlist while I was writing and producing Jungle Voodoo. I started off with the wobbling, sub-bass sound and developed a lot of the track around that." 

"The tribal drums were actually a recent addition to my sample library and I really wanted a chance to use them. This tune is all about the jungle around the spookhouse, and who/what lives inside. I really wanted the listener to feel uneasy while listening to this and I think the dissonant sounds helped achieve that."

Jungle Voodoo is on Tales from the Netherworld which is available to download from www.graveyardcalling.co.uk or on cassette directly from Ghoulshow.

Making Monster Music: Tommy Creep - Castle Dracula

"I wanted to do a track that featured a harpsichord-like instrument to have a mega-campy-spooky feel. I'd been listening to a lot of Harpsicorpse too that could have been an influence! I made a creepy bell patch and tried to come up with an eerie melody"

"The samples are from Dead Men Walk (1943). A great public domain vampire film, it had some dialogue that was perfect for the track."

Castle Dracula is on Vacant Tombs & Full Moons, order now from www.graveyardcalling.co.uk
