Sometimes, when you’ve got your 13,000 songs in iTunes on shuffle, you get the chance to hear music that you may not have really listened to. Sure, you’ve heard the song at least 12 times (or so iTunes tells you), but you’ve never really paid attention to it. After all, you’re reading a magazine, playing around online, or ruthlessly torturing someone under your desk. But what should you listen to while torturing them? Well, there are some unexpectedly scary or disturbing songs that fit the bill perfectly.

In the wake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, horror has long been the favorite genre of a first-time filmmaker. Independent directors achieving enormous success and career-long legacies from features with all the polish of industrial films has been practically synonymous with horror. It seems hard to fault fledgling filmmakers for being drawn to the genre. The assumption prevails that if film is a gamble, horror is the safest bet; if it fails as art, it can still make money.

Cattle Decapitation pushes the boundaries of speed and technique with their new album, THE HARVEST FLOOR. Jumping from heavy mid-tempo mosh riffs, to thunderous thrash parts, to arpeggio sweep-picking riffs with mind blowing gravity blasts, Cattle Decapitation unleashes a plethora of punishment to the uninitiated listener.

UPDATED with a 2nd new Video. The corporate goons over at the ARMACHAM CORPORATION are at it again. With the Armacham/Monolith release of F.E.A.R. 2 arriving on February 10th, I thought we'd have them off of our backs by now, but I was wrong. Just two weeks ago, the Armacham staff used FANGORIA's own Mistress Bekah as a test subject in their "Mobile F.E.A.R. Lab" in NYC (see the video here), and today a courier arrived at my office with another cryptic package, and yet another video.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie revolving around witchcraft and satanic rituals, and in that respect, THE HAGSTONE DEMON is a fun breath of fresh air. Shot on what was clearly a low budget, Jon Springer’s tale of a haunted apartment complex (which recently premiered at the Tromadance Film Festival) is generally successful and entertaining throughout.
