Bill + Phil – Songs Of Darkness And Despair (Housecore Records)


This is a collaboration between the former Pantera frontman and and the Horror icon Bill Moseley – most notable as Chop Top in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Here we have 6 tracks where the duo experiments with heavy rock music and the singing or storytelling of the lyrics. I think that it sounds like a mix of Arthur Brown, Doors and the best version of Lulu that Metallica never released. The album is not boring at all because Bill can sing too and offers a fair version of his stories through this album. Additionaly, the music is a catchy version of a psychedelic  soundtrack with many influences from the 1970s, that contribute in the horror atmosphere of the album.
