Release Date: October 02, 2020
Label: KBH Records
Format: CD / Digital
Length: 24:07
Genre: Horror Punk
Origin: Germany

Well, Halloween is over. But it is most likely to come back, right? Also, this review fits quite well after yesterday's post about Italian Horror Doom release by Bretus. Furthermore, I listened to the newest podcast by Movie Punx on Horror Movies. For those of you who understand German, it is worth listening to what these two lads have to say. And speakin of German language, the lyrics on Billy Barflies newest EP "Horror Stories" are in German, too. Horror Punk with German lyrics might be rather rare as far as I know.


Billy Barfly is a one-person army from Germany. On seven tracks he plays melodic but raw Punk Rock with creepy content. The rhythm and the musical themes are influenced by Hillbilly and Rockabilly. Thus, a beautiful eerie atmosphere is created. And the best part about it, "Horror Stories" does not sound like a Misfits cover!


The tracks 'Zombiewelt' ('Zombie World') and 'Vampir' (no need to translate this) feature a guest singer who beautifies the sound with her clear voice. Barfly himself presents himself with his rough but melodic voice. Then and when he reminds of Hank Williams III. The latter comparison fits the Country theme very good.


Billy Barfly musicks seven short horror stories. The lyrics feature everything you need. Vampires, zombies, horror romance, violence, death, killing, and of course body parts. Besides the romantification of horror and death, some political themes resonate in the subtext. Billy Barfly's "Horror Stories" definitely is a sweet piece of gorgeous Horror Punk with a unique sound. So let's enjoy a tasty glass of fresh blood and turn up the volume.
