Horrific - Your Worst Nightmare (2009)

   As it was mentioned before, death 'n' roll became a popular error since the whole term was created. But fortunately the existence of a few bands gave sense to this style definition.
   One of these few was Horrific, a former short lived side project of Slasher Dave (Acid Witch) and Lasse Pyykkö (former Acid Witch, Hooded Menace) that really included rock 'n' roll influences, so their music genuinely fits to the style that nobody else was able to fit to, though it was created way before. It's like a recipe of something that once seemed great to create, but nobody could perform it how it supposed to. And later Horrific came and made it. Their music is basically similar to some '70s rock 'n' roll and heavy metal influenced hard rock (like Ted Nugent for instance), it's only more intense, and not intense like thrash metal, but like how old rock 'n' roll was. The catchy-wild, sometimes heavy and demoralizing, but all-round very characteristic guitar play of Slasher Dave proved to be the same effective in an intensity based style, like in the stoner/doom depths of Acid Witch. The strong sound distortion and Mr Pyykkö's extremely deep growling vocal style gave the touch of death metal, like icing on the cake. This combination resulted something that was catchy but also extreme, sounded modern and old school the same time. This style seems to have wider potential, because it could be compatible with both the underground and mainstream audience. So it's wonder why many others didn't even try to experiment with this? "Your Worst Nightmare" is a short, but very effective masterpiece that would deserve wider attention!
