I know I am quite late with this review, since this album came out at the end of 2007, but here I am. And I tell you this, “Career Suicide” is the best melodic punk album of the last year.

A Wilhelm Scream are back with a new album and a new sound, more powerful, more technic and more precise than it was on previous albums “Mute Print” (too raw!) and “Ruiner” (too metal?).

The album can be described in one word: FAST! You will not find peace while listening to this record, and if you’re driving, watch your speed. “I Wipe My Ass With Showbiz” opens the disc in the fastest way you could expect. Vocalist Nuno is amazing, and so are Trevor’s guiar riffs.

The album keeps on growing on you with speed and fast tracks: “5 To 9″, “The Horse” and “Die While You’re Young” are the three best songs of the whole record maybe, and their order makes them, together with the opener, the best 4 first songs on a record. EVER.

“Career Suicide”, “These Dead Streets”, “Our Ghosts” and “Pardon Me, Thanks A Lot” are fucking brillant, with a perfect combination of drums, metallic guitar works and screams. The result is a record that will make you sick.

I don’t have a lot of words to say, just put this: if you don’t listen to this record, you’re fucked.

Release 2/5/2008

This is a much anticipated release (at least for me) that has been expected from this band for a while now. Kiss Kiss Kill Kill is the latest album from HorrorPops following their last released album “Bring It On” From 2005; much to long for a band like the HorrorPops to go without giving us our much need fill of rock and roll.

Kiss Kiss Kill Kill is exactly what you would expect from a band as unique and disrupting as the HorroPops. This new album like their previous ones has such a great sound that dips into so many styles of music and sound that it  creates a humorous very progressive sound. 

Many of the songs on this album have such unrelated styles/meaning to them that it is almost like it is a comp of new songs by the same band which I personally really liked.  One minute your listing to a song with traditional rockabilly undertones, and then the next song has a new wave meets surf punk.  Because of this the album is a blast to listen too.  So many of this bands songs will surprise and confuse you. But after a second listen your going to be tapping your foot and singing along.

If you’re not yet a fan of the HorrofPops you are really missing out on a great unique band. With blasting female vocals to their chaotic style of play you will be  searching for their other releases in no time.
