The First Three Sins of Horror Show
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Cool Chair and his album, Horror Show
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Comprises multifaceted, catchy melodic punk, bludgeoning riffs, and solid bass riffs. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves a mixture of clean punk singing and demonic growls.. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Ddelves into the vast world of a mixture of pop-punk and progressive drum patterns and beats.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Gruesome nail in the coffin that moulds the music into a feast of fun and terror.
Immediately, the listener presses the play button, and one is welcomed to the opening track, BrainDead, which welcomes the listener with an opening of the bass… Close behind is the welcome to melodic punk/acoustic riffs and pop-punk vibe. Unexpectedly, reaching the last minute of the opening song, the sound/mood changes to a mixture of melodic/pop-punk and death metal aggressive attitude before bouncing back to end the song with catchy melodies/pop-punk and continue with The Horror Show and the four remaining tracks.
You are following suit with the second song, Naturan Demanto, which welcomes the listener with the aggression of the guitar and epic drum work and a short sound clip from the original “Evil Dead” movie of the reading from the “Necronomicon Ex-Mortis” (aka the book of the dead) – where one will continue with track two and the continuation with the last three songs.
JORDAN has created a very well-produced and well-arranged composing album, with fruit of art devilmanship, where he has taken a fresh take on “Horror Punk,” giving it a unique edge and complex fusion of (added at the right moment) vastly varied elements of death metal, pop-punk, horror punk, post-hardcore and progressive metal and some traits of bands, such as; death metallers Necrophagia, horror punkers The Misfits topped with a Green Day vibe.
Cool Chair includes instruments and elements, such as multifaceted, catchy, melodic punk and bludgeoning riffs with unexpected progressive moments, aggression, technical riffs, fretboard chord playing, and solid bass riffs. Jordan’s vocals involve clean punk singing and demonic growls. The listener will find additional elements within the wall of the music, such as ethereal synths, cellos, accordions, acoustic, and singalong choruses.
Unexpected changes, inspired lyrics and references to classic B-Horror movies, such as the 1968 Night of the Living Dead, Creepshow (short story “The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill” (based on Stephen King’s short story “Weeds”), 1976 Grizzy and infamous film (original) The Evil Dead and many others to name.
Cool Chair has created this intense, creative, cohesive, energetic and entertaining horror punk/metal that brings something different to the table which provides and gives the album genre-bending interludes; dynamic style is far from dull, dark lyrics with an upbeat horror punk that is the gruesome and absurd nail in the coffin that moulds the music into a feast of fun and terror.
The album concludes with the final track, Bad Taste. We want to give a shoutout to ShredStorm for letting us review Cool Chair and his album Horror Show. Now, we are going to conclude the review by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
