Shadow Reichenstein It's Monster Rock Review

*Originally written in 2004*


Released back in 2001 Shadow Reichenstein’s debut album, It’s Monster Rock, unleashes Horror Rock creepiness to the extreme! Soothing guitar work and hollow voices are involved with every song on this CD!


I absolutely love the eerie vocals, the themes of the songs and the precision work on the drums as well as all other instruments! The songs that are standing out to me on this release are: “Dracula Built My Hotrod”, “My Dear Deceased” – the latter has such a nice slow pace, and it sounds very oldies-like! The tune “Texas Tumbleweed Terror” reminds me of something that could be in a Western Horror movie!


Finally, the track that ends the album is entitled “Fear of The Rising Sun”. This tune reminds me of something that a Vampire may sing in despair of no longer being able to see the light and always living in eternal darkness! It doesn’t hurt that it’s basically a rendition of the Animals classic “House of The Rising Sun”.


This album also has a few other great songs. I highly suggest checking it out as it has been recently reissued through FiendForce Records. I guarantee this album will make your skeleton jump out of your skin and start dancing!
