Rise From Your Grave Tales Of Terror Review
Rise From Your Grave
Tales Of Terror
We Are Horror Records
2024
Some albums slither into your speakers. Others kick down the door and spill a river of blood all over your floor. Rise From Your Grave’s “Tales Of Terror” belongs to the latter, it’s an unholy sermon of Horror, Thrash and riff-saturated Punk insanity that rips your attention right out of your skull and holds it up like a dripping trophy.
From the opening track, “Ghost in The Graveyard” you’re swallowed into a carnival of rot. The guitars buzz like a swarm of corpse-flies, thick and relentless, while the drums pound like a shovel cracking open fresh grave dirt. The vocals ooze through the mix with a rasp that sounds like it was recorded in a slaughterhouse after midnight. The whole album is absurdly fun, like watching a midnight Horror flick where the gore effects make you feel uncomfortable but turn you on at the same time.
What I love most is the album’s sense of chaos wrapped in hooks. For every moment where you feel like the music might collapse into a pit of pus and broken bones, there’s a chorus or a riff that claws into your brain like a reanimated hand bursting out of the dirt. See the track “King in Yellow” for example. It’s Horror Punk with its tongue ripped out and nailed to a Thrash backbone, then drenched in buckets of slime.
Tracks like “Run There’s Robots!” and “Twilight Zone” are pure bangers, high-speed dirges that make you want to howl at the moon with a knife in one hand and a severed heard in the other. Meanwhile, “In Love with Evil” slows things down just enough to let the decay seep into your pores, reminding you that even monsters have feelings too…
There’s no filler here, every song drips with menace, humor, and the kind of unhinged creativity that makes you wonder if they recorded this while possessed. By the time the final track fades, you feel like you’re stumbling out of a wreck half-alive, covered in blood, and ready to do it all again.
Rise From Your Grave’s “Tales Of Terror” is a party that teeters at the edge of the abyss.
