"Based on his skills behind the drums and the friendships Joel surely developed with these bands, there’s bound to be some fantastic stories, both old and new, that any admirer will treasure."

"A must read for all fans of THE MISFITS and THE UNDEAD."

"I am a big Misfits fan and relished reading the history of the band. I had already heard most of the stories surrounding this band, but having the history all in one place was a great read. The best part of the book, in my opinion."

"I have seen some of world's foremost percussionists sit behind a ludicrous pile of drums and completely bore me to tears, and I have stood trembling as a street performer bashes on a garbage can lid.
The successful artist knows and embraces this magical ability, as he or she understands the glory in surrendering to the creative power of others. Because of this awareness, the true artist knows that such talent can never be taught. One might have all of the artistic knowledge in the world, but unless one instinctively knows how to feel, their efforts will leave no lasting mark on this world.
My dear friend, Shannon Gardner, knows this truth very well. As the creative force behind Effectionhate, she conjures sounds that move me to places I have never been. I have never once thought about her work, but I have felt every single note. And all that comes from a woman with no formal musical training.
While some may study the arts, there are also those who tap into humanity itself."

我想認識： Fellow writers, musicians and music enthusiasts.
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Hey thanx for adding us! we really appreciate it! if you could listen to our music and let us know what you think, it would be much appreciated! also leave any comment's if you wish on our video's or picture's! thanks ever so much!
Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!
Composed and created in a hot attic, somewhere in Reading P.A, during the Summer of 2009. Tortured In Toyland independently produces a series of experimental industrial rock instrumentals.
Many of the instrumental notational concepts were created months before the band embraced the industrial style of music. Those concepts, along with exploration of all the new controls associated with digital music, opened a realm of musical expression and clarity that could only be showcased as instrumentals.
Far from your grand-daddy instrumental radio classics, these tracks wreak of Tortured In Toyland's distinct aroma.
Note: This album is best when served with a plate of charred boar. Get our new independently released CD titled "InstruMentals" only $15.96 + S&H Product
