BLOODY HAMMERS’ idea of a soundtrack for your favorite video nasties holds some surprises on their upcoming record.
Anders Manga on the new album:
“When I think about my earliest influences, the horror film genre is just as important as musical influences and they’re all fused together in my brain from childhood. When I was a kid, there was a show called ‘Shock Theatre’ that aired late at night on our local WGHP network in the early 80s.
They played ‘Dr. Phibes Rises Again’, ‘Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things’ and weirdness like that. Around the same time slot, over on channel 61, there was a music video show that played Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper and all those artists our satanic panicked local churches and teachers were freaking out about… and forbidding.
I tried to put myself back in that time when I wrote The Summoning.
In my mind, it’s a tribute musically and lyrically to those magical macabre memories. Back when paranoid adults thought kids were brainwashed and likely worshiping Satan in the woods… good times!”
