About
As progenitors of deathrock, 45 Grave and singer Dinah Cancer slither through this 1983 debut with all the tattered grace and subdued snarls of a punk rock processional. Cheeky winks manifest as horror punk (“Insurance from God”), and the great “Partytime” (heard on the <i>Return of the Living Dead</i> soundtrack) offers big choruses that contrast its tragic narrative. New wave metal (“Evil”) dovetails with sinister surf (“Surf Bat”), bent power pop (“Bad Love”), and send-ups of early girl groups (“Riboflavin,” “Phantoms”). Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” gets a killer makeover. Lots of underground L.A. rock stars are on this album too. A classic.
