Dangerous Recommendations #6 - Satan's Satyrs - Wild Beyond Belief!

Released this year in 2012 this little LP is a dead set ripper. I've been following Satan's Satyrs since their first demo and they just get better with every new release. Wild beyond belief is easily the best output so far from the band, could be even album of the year for me so far. The band have a sound that reminds me off Black flag damaged noisy guitars mixed with venom's welcome to hell craziness.
The feeling of the songs just take you back to the 70's on the out skirts of town near a cemetery where a biker gang is hanging out and causing mayhem. The production on here is even more noisy and fuzzy than previous outputs and this suits them better I feel. Everything on here has improved, for instance the vocals are just a little better and more structured. Great riffs and song passages that will be stuck in your head forever.
The songs are catchy as hell without sounding retro or stupid like so many bloody bands these days. Forget Ghost, Uncle Acid shit, Jess and ancient crap etc Satan's Satyrs is the band that stands above them all.

Phantasm is a 1979 cult-classic horror film directed, written, photographed, co-produced, and edited by Don Coscarelli. It introduced the Tall Man (who was portrayed in the film and its sequels by Angus Scrimm), a supernatural and malevolent undertaker who turns the dead into dwarf zombies to do his bidding and take over the world.

A young boy and his friends face off against a mysterious grave robber known only as the Tall Man, who keeps a mysterious arsenal of terrible weapons with him.

Mike, a young teenage boy who has just lost his parents, is afraid to lose his brother. This fear causes him to follow his brother to a funeral, where Mike witnesses the Tall Man lift a coffin on his own. Mike decides to investigate and discovers a horrible world where the Tall Man, along with his flying spheres, shrink the to half their normal size and reanimate them as slaves. It is then up to Mike, his brother, and Reggie the ice cream man to stop the Tall man.
