If you combine the grizzly attitude of Motörhead, the abyssal groove and raw metal sound of Reverend Bizarre, the droning, dark and wailing attributes of Danzig, with the production “quality” of Venom and Gehennah (the Swedish thrashers), AND is very very good… You might just play in this marvelous band, called Devil’s Whorehouse.

The Whorehouse has released a full length album and an EP before this one, but they never found their way to my shelves. That’s gonna changes now! This is – by far! – the most rocking and rolling metal EP, I’ve heard in years. It has everything. Black metal, rock n’ roll, OI!, thrash, all the best in life, perfectly blended, and set to themes of mythology, evil powers, and the degeneration of Man.

Its made, in part, by Morgan; guitarist of mighty Marduk, primary member of the mysterious Abruptum, and guitarist of the 80’s cult-thrash band Damien – in other words, quite a phenomenon in himself. Morgans influence is obvious, and his large experience too. On vocals a guy called Maelstrom sounds like an unholy genetic experiment, created by cells from big league legends Lemmy Kilmister and Glenn Danzig – no shit, he does! – a voice that makes every tiny hair on your body tickle with fright, and at the same time sends your liver into beer-craving frenzies.

The songs (oh so few, on an EP) hits three mayor feels: The early Norwegian black metal wave (Werewolf), the Rhythm n’ Metal of Misfits, Samhain and Danzig (Mouth of Hell), and thrashy punk/metal (Pentagram Murderer) – the last one a clear instant-live-success, I’m sure.

Actually, I could keep writing about these three songs for hours. My neighbors must be getting tired of them, but I simply can’t. This rocks!
