Inner Sanctum by Grave Robber

posted in: July 2010, Music Review | 0

I am a huge fan of Horror Punk! The Misfits are easily in my top 20 all time greatest bands list, with both Danzig and Michale Graves on vocals, I like ’em both the same. I find it to be one of the last true Punk Rock Scenes out there, very DIY, core fans, small venues, never really broke mainstream. Some of the best singers I’ve ever heard play Horror Punk, give Nim Vind a listen, or Blitzkid and you’ll hear for yourself. As with most scenes there is a lot of crap to sort through, so when I heard there was a Christian Horror Punk band I had to hear it. Only two other bands came to mind in the Christian market to do this the amazing Blaster The Rocket Man (or Boy), and the Deadlines first album that was a weak attempt. Grave Robber can hold there ownwith the best of the genre. Their debut, “Be Afraid” is a fantastic album full of crooning vocals and a ton of sing along chorus’. “InnerSanctum” picks up where the debut leaves off with bigger production and maturer song writing. ‘Fear No Evil’ is the standout track for me, it’s classic, no doubt about it. ‘Tell Tale Heart’ is a Boo-Wop of a good time, nice harmonies throughout. ‘Valley Of Dry Bones’ has an 80’s metal feel to it, very different than their other material, still good. ‘Altered States’ has a bunch of Wo-o’s to get a crowd goingcrazy, would love to see these guys live in full Gory! This band is fun, what more does one need?
