The Lurking Corpses Biography
Since 2001, The Lurking Corpses have been "bringing the terror on" and fulfilling every horror geek's wet dream. Their music could be described as a blend of catchy Horror Punk and old school Thrash & Death Metal. The band combines violent, gory lyrics with tongue in cheek humor and dark sarcasm. Elements of Doo-Wop, Rockabilly, Arena Rock, and Country are also thrown into the mix displaying the band's diverse influences. Influences also come from many classic horror films of the past including the work of Hammer Studios, Universal Studios, Amicus Studios, William Castle, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr., Ed Wood, Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento, 80's Slashers, and 70's Exploitation films. The band also draws inspiration from E.C. and other classic horror comics. The band takes much pride in their energetic and theatric stage show. Discography: "23 Tales of Terror" (2003), "Lust for Blood" (2006), "Smells Like the Dead" (2008), "Gross Encounters Of The Sacrificial Rite" split 7" w/ The Beyond (2012), "Workin' For The Devil (2014), Nunslaughter split 7" (2015).
