Crimson Spectre

DIED to be UNDEAD

About Me

Gravediggers
of International Capitalism

Horror is everywhere around us:
horrors of WAR, horrors of OCCUPATION, horrors of POVERTY,
horrors of SOCIAL INJUSTICE.

A ghoul-punk aesthetic is one strategy among many a band might employ to draw attention to this collective political nightmare and to articulate it in a highly-stylized and accessible form...

...It might also be the most fun.

Influences:

While readily acknowledging our debt to such bands as the Misfits, Samhain, and the Accused, we in Crimson Spectre also align ourselves with a dissident aesthetic most visible, in this country, in the horror films of the past thirty years, where - to quote Lenin - the "Aesopian language" of zombies, cannibalism, chainsaw massacres, monster babies, demonic possession, and hockey-masked serial killers has provided allegorical embodiment for social critiques and political analyses otherwise considered too volatile for the pop-culture arena.

We're the voice in the forest that you hear in The Evil Dead . Our request hasn't changed:
