Rise From Your Grave Thirteen Single Review
Pittsburgh’s graveyard fiends Rise From Your Grave have clawed their way out of the mausoleum again, unleashing a brand-new single that’s been festering in the coffin for far too long! The track is called “Thirteen”, a cursed number if there ever was one, and it’s a tune the band wrote way back in their primordial days, now mutated, stitched together, and jolted with fresh electricity. With their latest Horror-show A New Flesh Reborn still dripping, they’ve tossed this song out as a wicked bookend to the era, a final nail hammered into the coffin lid.
But wait, here comes a wicked twist of the blade. This track features the vocal presence of the Indianapolis creeps Pretty With The Lights Out. This feels like two Horror flick slashers teaming up for one last kill. I haven’t heard the raw, original version of this track, but who cares? This incarnation doesn’t tiptoe around; it explodes like a chainsaw through bone. Under two minutes, it’s pure Thrash-fueled whiplash: a wall of sound that crushes and leaves your ears bleeding for more.
There’s a filthy streak of Thrash metal here that rattles like broken teeth in a can. Sure, I’d toss Misfits’ Earth A.D. out for comparison, but that leadbreak screams and that’s not something typical of the Misfits. The whole song is a blast of speed, chaos, and horror-punk power.
Looking for the weekend’s earworm? Look no further. And do yourself a favor: dive headfirst into the rest of Rise From Your Grave’s and Pretty With The Lights Out’s blood-spattered back catalogs. It's a feast for the insane!
