Bronx Casket Co – “Hellectric”
It’s nothing to get excited about, unless you want more Danzig, Type O Negative, or goth rock. It sounds like bunch of guys trying to be dark, mysterious and romantically “evil.” Maybe I’m intolerant with silly old men singing about “little dead girls”, but the music just sounds like a side project, something put together in between down time from the real bands (Overkill, Seven Witches, etc). They cover the song “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd! It does sound gothy, yes, like Type O Negative covering the song. The voice sounds deep, etc. They did away with the guitar solo, one of the few mildly interesting things by Skynyrd. Bronx Casket Co. makes the song just plain boring. Diehard Overkill and Seven Witches fans expecting head-banging heavy metal will be surprised, pleasantly or unpleasantly.
