TOMBSTONES have risen from beneath the ground!
In the middle of the dark, damp night, a bone-chilling shriek is heard in the distance…you are compelled by morbid curiosity to determine the source of the cry. You arrive at the massive wooden door of what appears to be a charnel house from an older, more sinister age…as you work the rusty handle and struggle to slowly open the door, the ages-old stench of the forgotten dead fills your nostrils. In the pitch blackness, you can barely make out the features of the repulsive resting place…you approach a doorway that leads into an unknown chamber…as you cautiously turn to enter, you feel a cold, bony hand on your shoulder. More hands clutch at you…you realize it’s too late to scream, and if you could nobody would hear you…as your feeble heart begins to burst, the rotted, decrepit undead inhabitants of this ghastly tomb slowly rip your limbs to shreds…
TOMBSTONES is the new band from Stevo of the infamous horror/gore legends IMPETIGO, which is an "homage" to the classic horror comics and artwork from the 50's, 60's, and early 70's such as Tales From The Crypt, Creepy, Terror Tales, Chamber of Chills, etc. Musically, Stevo and the band decided that pure 80's Death Metal was the only way to go, taking inspiration from bands such as DEATH, MASTER, SACRIFICE, DECEASED, SLAUGHTER(Canada), etc.
Patrick Bruss from the Denver, Colorado death metal monster known as CRYPTICUS, will be playing guitar and bass for TOMBSTONES, and Wayne from the deadly DECREPITAPH will be doing drums as well as lyric writing for the band. Both are TRUE death metal musicians and horror fanatics of the highest order who know what the REAL stuff is all about and are two of the most enthusiastic and hard working people in the underground today! With these maniacs involved this is sure to be some intense, heavy, and MEMORABLE death fucking metal to be sure!
12 songs are being written for the debut album, titled "NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH", to be released on Razorback Records in the near future! The album will have songs such as "Meet The Reaper", "Name Your Poison", "Grave Undertakings" and more. Demo material and samples from the album will be unleashed in the weeks ahead to give you a small taste of what's to come!
