Venture, if you dare! For this is the true, bone-chilling tale that could only be known as the Cult of the Psychic Fetus!
Unborn from the dark, eerie shores of Ohio's Great Lake, Cult of the Psychic Fetus is writing their own chapter in Horror rock history. Their fiendish mix of heart-pounding music, vampiric theatrics, and B-movie horror themes follow the tradition of such local oddities as Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the Cramps. The band is diffusing a contagious craving for the macabre, infecting unsuspecting congregations across the globe. Like the sin-eater of bygone time, the newly indoctrinated will absorb the dark emissions, and feast on the delicious confessions of the dead.
Setting a new standard since 1992, Cult of the Psychic Fetus has often been credited as the Godfathers of Goth-a-billy. With a sound that extends from 1950's Rock n' Roll to modern day Gothic, the band is attracting a diverse crowd, ranging from Punks, to Goths, to horror aficionados, and all of those in between. Performing at several prestigious events, such as: Drop Dead Festival (NYC, 2003, 2004, 2005), Endless Night: The Vampyre Ball (New Orleans, 1998, 2002), the First Big New York Psychobilly Rumble ( New Jersey , 2000), and Goth Stock ( Hartford , 2005), the band has only reinforced their ability to enchant monsters of all breeds. In their travels, Cult of the Psychic Fetus has added to their sinister pedigree with appearances in London, Toronto, New York, Chicago, and New Orleans, to name a few, and graced the stages of legendary venues C.B.G.B.'s (NYC), Slimelight (London), and the infamous New York City nightclub, Mother (one of only a select few bands invited to do so).
In the cold, dark days of 1997, Cult of the Psychic Fetus unleashed their first, self titled independent recording (re-released as Orgy of the Dead, 1999, Raven Music Group), and the music world has not been safe since! With such songs as Dead Bride, Orgy of the Dead, and Don't Look in the Basement, they quickly caught the attention of the underground music scene. The hollow-body guitar surfs through each song on a coffin shaped surfboard, with riffs that bite deep into your jugular (Deathrock.com). The bands highly anticipated second release, She Devil (2000, RMG) solidified their rank in a steadily growing Gothic-flavored rock genre. She Devil runs the gamut of rock-a-billy inspired styling (Legends Magazine). The title track, She Devil, would also appear on a limited edition 7 vinyl record, only available in blood red or ghoulish blue. The third and final release under RMG, Funeral Home Sessions (2004, RMG), is a monster-piece of dark and dreary funeral dirges which should R.I.P. in every vampire's music collection. The band's sound has matured like a fine Transylvanian wine, introducing creepy organ riffs to their own brand of B-movie monster rock music (Dark Realms Magazine). Each has become an instant horror classic, and can still be heard at zombie filled dancehalls throughout the mystic shadowlands.
From the shadows of their darkened tombs, Cult of the Psychic Fetus emerged, carving their name into the blackened souls of the vampire underworld. Cult of the Psychic Fetus, the band I had seen at my first vampire club, was playing, and this time I talked to them before they went on and was better prepared for their intense energy documents Katherine Ramsland (Piercing the Darkness, Undercover with Vampires in America Today, 1998, HarperPrism Books). At the dawn of the millennium, already established in the realms of the nocturnal scene, Cult of the Psychic Fetus cast it's name in the premier edition of the Vampyre's Almanac (1998, Endless Night Productions). The procession would continue with the band creeping it's way into the sites of world renowned photographer Andreas Serrano (Big Magazine, Issue 20), and documenting their debauchery in the Playboy Channel series Sexcetera ..3, Vampire Cult Segment (1999, Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc.). In October 1999, the band's legacy would forever be forged with the release of Goth-a-billy Wakin' the Dead (Skully Records, 1999), a ghoulish music compilation that would define a new genre. Dead Bride would appear as the first song on the recording, and serve as the beginning to the Goth-a-billy madness!
Cult of the Psychic Fetus is unearthing their legend in the world of horror. Reaching far beyond the gates of the cemetery, the band is driving their haunted hearse head-on into the next act. By opening a casket full of new offerings, and sinking their teeth into the veins of the internet, Cult of the Psychic Fetus is quenching the thirst of their brethren, near and abroad. With a return to the laboratory in 2006, all followers can expect new monstrous musical creations to be unveiled. But, be forewarned! This festival of the undead does not rest, and the Cult of the Psychic Fetus will be ascending from their crypt to invade a moonlit graveyard near you soon!
