 Seminal California gore/death metallers Autopsy, who originally called it quits in 1995, are back with a new EP called The Tomb Within (out October 5 as both a CD and 12″ vinyl release through Peaceville Records) after lead vocalist/drummer Chris Reifert pulled the plug on the band he’d assembled in Autopsy’s wake, Abscess (whose most recent album Dawn of Inhumanity was review in RM#100), earlier this summer. After giving the band’s repulsive new work a spin (which features such aural romance as “My Corpse Shall Rise,” “Seven Skulls” and “Mutant Village”), I stitched up my wounds, disinfected my headphones, put my desk back together (it was nearly rendered kindling from the onslaught) and sought out Reifert in order to subject him to a round of our favourite online inquisition.

A new “killer musical” called Everybody Dies! opens for previews in Toronto later this week. It’s the story of a boy named Johnny who can only escape from his mother’s nagging by killing virgins. He falls in love the innocent young Vanessa, but Vanessa may not be all that she seems… or she may be a lot more.

The Toronto After Dark Film Festival (TADFF) commences, appropriately enough, this Friday, August 13, and genre fans of all stripes will be converging on the Bloor Cinema (506 Bloor Street West) to see what cinematic oddities founder Adam Lopez and his cast of programmers have dug up in their searches.

 Austrian psychobilly exports Bloodsucking Zombies from Outer Space release their fourth album on Fiendforce Records today (June 18th, 2010), the simply titled Return of the Bloodsucking Zombies from Outer Space. The ragged plasma nibblers – including Mr. Jim Evilize on guitar, Dr. He-Mann Schreck on bass and Rev. Bloodbath on guitar and keys – jettisoned lead singer/stand-up drummer Dead “Richy” Gein into RM’s atmosphere for an intergalactic edition of the horrific interrogation that’s sweeping the nation: The Sinister Seven.

As previously reported, Rue Morgue put in a good shift at last weekend’s Kinetik Festival in Montreal, peeling months from our lifespans drinking Jager bombs and embarrassing ourselves on the dance floor to all manner of electronic and industrial music from around the globe. Funny then, that we should discover one of the most intriguing new acts at the festival to hail from RM Editor-in-Chief Dave Alexander’s hometown of Edmonton. We cornered iVardensphere’s lead knob twiddler Scott Fox backstage and threatened him with crude hand gestures and coarse language until he finally caved in to that querious little thing we’ve christened The Sinister Seven!

I’m not sure anyone can lay claim to championing extreme forms of metal as much as gonzo journalist/incurable metalhead Bill Zebub can. His quarterly print and online magazine, The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds, showcases his unorthodox, often-hilarious approach to music journalism, backed by a series of low-budget, investigative documentaries such as Pagan Metal, Metal Retardation, [...]

Being left on a bench isn’t much of a premise for a movie, unless that bench is a ski lift chair high above the ground, it’s freezing cold outside, there are hungry animals lurking below and no one will be around to find you for five days. Then it’s the kind of situation that’ll make [...]

There’s a lot of nostalgic love going around for ’80s horror, and the best example is House of the Devil, the latest release from Ti West. Set sometime in the ’80s, it stars Jocelin Donahue (The Burrowers) as Samantha, a broke college girl who takes a babysitting gig at a mansion out in the country, [...]

This past weekend, Paranormal Activity, a $15 000 shot-on-video feature about a couple recording evidence of a supernatural entity in their new house, ruled the box office, beating the annual Halloween cash cow installment in the Saw franchise. A slow roll-out that had fans requesting limited midnight screenings in North American cities gave the movie [...]

She’s the one, the only Audra Jacombs (formerly Butera before she got married), better known at Rue Morgue as Audie, The Auds, Aud-Ball, General Aud, but mostly Audzilla. And, sadly, she’s gone. After four years at Rue Morgue as office manager (and before that an intern), Audra has moved away to Hamilton, where she and [...]

Neil Marshall is a director who understands and respects genre film. That’s not necessarily a rare thing, but what’s impressive is that he actually manages to get uncompromising horror films made without anyone completely fucking them up along the way. Dog Soldiers and The Descent (our cover story for issue #58) are much loved around [...]
