I feel like I am late to the party. We are now half-way through the month of October and I'm just getting around to writing this editorial. Of course I got sick at the start of the month and it just kicked my ass! I'm all good now, so it's time to spill my guts so to speak, as we discuss some exciting stuff going on at Horror Metal Sounds.
As you know, on the 31st it's our birthday and we're now 11 years old as a website and entertainment destination. But before we get to our b-day celebration, let's talk about what else is going on at HMS. Firstly, we just published episode #7 of Horror Metal Flashbacks, as we discuss the impact of the 1986 horror/metal classic Trick Or Treat. The film features cameos by Ozzy and Gene Simmons and it packs a huge punch for genre fans.
Over at the podcast we have a special Halloween show discussing Slayer's most diabolical thrash record ever, Reign In Blood. It's promising to be one hell of a spooky evening. The show will be posted on the 31st. We also have some fun horror movie soundtrack reviews to post and a few other horror related tidbits as well. So check back over the next few weeks leading up to Halloween to join in on all the gruesome fun and festivities.
With that being said, I have to check in with Dead Meat to see how he plans to celebrate Halloween. I think he's grinding up his axe this very moment.
Anyhow, keep those fists pumping and remember to keep it bloody.
