Formed in 2012, Then Comes Silence have returned and as suggested by the title of their newest outing, Darkness is again ever present.

Recently I was able to attend a performance by horror punk band, Grave Robber. Their songs have deep spiritual meanings embedded in imagery of horror, gore, shock value and other things you might find in a Romero flick. The lead singer and “shovel bearer” Wretched was nice enough to give me the pleasure of an interview.

Ol’ Bud’s a big, burly marijuana farmer from the hills of Eastern Kentucky. While Bud has a growing operation, it’s not his only secret: down in his damp, dark, blood-soaked basement is a more sinister and frightening one.
