Audio Drome, Rue Morgue Radio
Download RM’s Free Album of Terror Tunes Now!
The second volume of Rue Morgue Radio’s free downloadable compilation of horror music, Hymns From the House of Horror Vol. II, has been unleashed! Download your own copy, complete with printable artwork, by clicking here.
It’s 20 songs by 20 bands, including sneak peeks, killer cuts, previously unreleased oddities and exclusive remixes by the likes of GWAR, Blood Ceremony, Calabrese, Timber Timbre, The Brains, Kreeps, The Young Werewolves, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, Corpusse, and more!
Don’t forget to read the whole story on the bands and songs of Hymns Vol. II in the May issue of RM #111 (cover: John Waters). And don’t drag your feet – Hymns II will only be available for download for a limited time. Just like last year’s comp, once it’s gone….it’s gone forever!
This is an excellent (and very eclectic) mix of tunes. The inclusion of the mock trailers is the cherry on top though – Murder On The Gondola is pure gold. So “hats off” to everybody involved here for ‘ the little audio experiment’ that could – pats on the back all around.
Awesome! Thanks.
I love this! But, now I want last years. I didn’t know there was a last years until this year.
line up on the album looks great.
Brilliant stuff as usual, RM. I don’t know of any other magazine that rewards their readers with the possible exception of the usual music rags, so kudos and thanks.
Nice! Thanks for providing me my morning tunes
So far so good! I can’t even get passed the first song …lol
Listened to this on my way to work this morning and it is most excellent! I second Ron’s sentiments. Very eclectic mix and the faux trailers are a riot!
I love it m/ Thanks for everyone’s efforts. It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback, everybody! Glad you’re all liking it! Any standout tracks for you at this point? Jeff, though you can’t download the first Hymns comp anymore, the digital version of the Black 100 issue (which is also free) for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone or iTouch does offer some of the original album as embedded links.
I’ve been a fan of a few artists on Rise Above Records – namely Ghost and Electric Wizard – but hadn’t yet heard Blood Ceremony. I’d say their track, Oliver Haddo, is my favorite so far.
Standouts? Ha …too many to list, but if I’d have to pick my favorite ones it would easily be Suck Me, You Can’t Give Me Anything, and Shhh… Perfect for high school horror flicks
I love You Can’t Give Me Anything, Monster and Bad Ritual, but it’s Violet Hellfire on the top of the list so far. Calabrese blew the doors off on this one.
We’ve had so much fun listening (and contributing, with the fake trailers!) to this around the office as Trevor and Tomb were assembling it. The day we first melted our frontal lobes with “Blood Will Have Blood,” I knew it was something special. Crank that track up and give yourself a seizure.
Sounds like Ron and I share the same favorites.
Love the Timber Timbre cut, Bad Ritual.
Suck Me is fantastic! The Morricone-inspired layer gives it an interesting sound. (is that a sample or recreation?)
Monster is my most played song right now on the comp.
Get Up and Kill is another great cut and I love the head nod to my favorite Sabbath album.
Love Phantom Chop as well. Reminds me of Satan’s Pilgrims.
I didn’t like Blood Will Have Blood the first time I heard it, but it got to me the 2nd round for some reason. Makes me wanna break shit which I like
The whole Timber Timbre album is exceptional, and it was a great score getting that track. Definitely a fave too, along with the Black Moth Super Rainbow cut and Monster for sure.
I hadn’t finished listening to the comp when I posted, but gotta mention Squid Lid as a standout entry as well. I have enjoyed what I heard of Squid Lid on Rue Morgue Radio and this was an exceptional effort as well.
