Ghoul's niche is something I hold dear to my heart. They play thrash metal and have an affinity for everything bloody, creepy and deathly! I'm a fan of all the above; therefore, Ghoul has a constant presence in my CD player. Every time I listen to them, I imagine the walls covered in blood and the mischievous creatures of Creepsylvania are lurking around me, breathing down my neck. As much as I love them, I hope they don't come on my iPod while I'm driving because I go ape s***. It's not good for anybody. Transmission Zero is the band's fourth full-length album and its intensity and furiousness picks up from where We Came for the Dead!!! and Maniaxe left off. While their third full-length album, Splatterthrash, was great in its own right, it met with mixed reviews because many didn't feel the aforementioned aspects of the music were present. So for those who weren't sure about this album, rest assured that they're back and unleashing their brand of gory, blood drenched thrash on the masses. The entire album is flawless, but for those with an especially insatiable bloodlust, check out "Blood Feast," Off with Their Heads," "The Lunatic Hour," The Mark of Voodoo" and "Tooth and Claw."
