Spaghetti Horror and Rotten Stuff" is online!!! The Killerfreaks' new masterpiece is out now!
The Killerfreaks are a Horrorpunk-metal band from Varese, active live since 2004. They are distinguished by a very flashy look, drawing inspiration mainly from artists such as Kiss, Misfits and Death SS. Their songs are fiercely disengaged, consisting of an energetic sound and shifting from classic heavy melodies to thrash metal outbursts, up to more 80s Twisted Sister-esque "anthems," with explicit lyrics, mainly dedicated to horror movies, always seasoned with a healthy dose of irony, sarcasm and references to 80s Pop culture. Over the years, they self-produce several demos and two albums, "Flesh, Blood & Rott'n'Roll" (2013) and "A Load of Rott'n'Roll" (2017). In 2014 they recorded with Ul Mik, "Dai, dai l'è tardi," a cover of "Die, die my Darling," for Longobardeath's album "Old Time Balabiott." In 2024 they signed with Wanikiya Record (Blaze Bayley, Timo Tolkki, Pino Scotto...) and released "Spaghetti Horror and Rotten Stuff," recorded and mixed by Steve Volta. Although they have always stayed away from agencies and record labels, preferring the "do it yourself" method, they play over 200 live shows in clubs, motor gatherings, clubhouses and various festivals such as the Loud and Proud, RockInnSomma, Wings of Bea Metalfest, etc... opening for bands of the thickness of Domine, Strana Officina, Ancillotti, becoming for fans a true cult band niche. In 2008 they played backing act to The Crimson Ghosts, godfathers of Teutonic Horrorpunk. Mephisto, the frontman, is also a top wrestler for Total Combat Wrestling, as well as a comic book artist. Among his works, he recently drew the comic book "Nocticula - Resurrection," as merchandising coupled with the release of "Revenge" by Nocticula Resurget, a band of Boris Hunter, former drummer of Death SS (In Death of Steve Sylvester and Black Mass).
