In the Summer of 2007, a new sound was forged in the gloom filled slums of Everett, Washington. Church For Sinners was formed by brothers, Andy Wylie and Ben Grimm (formerly of Graveyard Shift), as a means to create their take on a genre that had been lying in the underground since it's inception in the early 80's by punk legends, The Misfits. After collecting some of the best musicians in the NW, including Jay Johnson (formerly of Graveyard Shift and Analog Dreamer), Calem Bergemeier (Collapse Of Eden), and Tyler Murphy (River City Rebels and Noreason), the boys began writing what would become their first ep, Making Monsters. Before ever setting foot on stage, CFS had already recieved offers from several labels, one of which was Robot Monster, Inc. After discussing the merits of each label with fellow musicians in the horror scene, the boys decided to go with Robot Monster and have been happily working with them ever since.

In the fall of 1995 Michale Graves was nineteen and recording a demo in Lodi, New Jersey with his little known band Mopes when the owner mentioned that some of his friends were looking for a singer and that he might be what they were looking for. After some contemplation, Michale made a phone call to schedule an audition that would ultimately change the course of his life forever.

Predetermined in the mind of The Reanimator at The Void, Grave Robber was unleashed upon an unsuspecting, pre-apocalyptic Earth, A.D. 2005. As wounded and mutilated souls suffering curses unfathomable, death was their eternal verdict. Once submitting to The Reanimator as their Master, inviting The Ghost to indwell within them, and electing to die to themselves, the zombie slaves escaped the clutches of the grave. Now, these devil's rejects arm themselves with sonic, vibratory executions and images of horrific realities, bringing an onslaught of sound and warning that will ring into eternity. Rest assured, you will be afraid. You will be very afraid. Fans of The Misfits, Alice Cooper, Type O Negative, Gwar, Kiss, Danzig, and Rob Zombie will find themselves feeling as though they strolling in familiar musical history, yet simultaneously wading through a dense mire of uncharted territory. There’s nothing more terrifying than the unknown. Grave Robber is the one band that can hold your hand on a decidedly horrifying romp, leading you safely to the other side. Heed the call of Grave Robber. Die and escape the grave, or die eternally.

Since 2005 Stellar Corpses has dominated the Santa Cruz music scene with their infectious and infamous anthems of Psychobilly appropriately called, S.C. Psycho. In such a short amount of time Stellar Corpses have not only become a local favorite but have been on several major tours including the US and a huge European tour spanning across five and a half weeks and 11 different countries.

800 Octane is probably one of the hardest working bands you've never heard of. Every independent band strives to make that claim but 800 Octane has been playing non-stop since 1994 in a genre that goes in and out of style as often as the tide changes. Sticking with punk rock for all these years takes a commitment that not too many bands are willing to make. Driving through rain, sleet and snow to play for whoever will listen is the name of the game and to date they've put well over 500 shows under their belts. Respect has been slowly earned by sheer willpower and in return 800 Octane has been given the chance to play with many of their influences and idols including The Misfits, Tiger Army, The Living End, Guttermouth, UK Subs, H2O, Strike Anywhere, New Found Glory, All, Strung Out, TSOL, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Bigwig, Sum 41, Saves The Day, The Loved Ones, Poison Idea, Face To Face, Gwar and even three appearances on the Warped Tour. Not bad for a DIY punk band that prefers singing about zombies to politics.

Horrorwood Ending is a three piece band from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After forming in 2005, Horrorwood Ending has see few lineup changes, but the band has found their mark with Ryan Waltz (Vocals, Guitar), Mike Leamons (Bass), and Ryan Lannon (Drums). Recently the band has signed to Robot Monster Records and are currently writing and demoing for their forthcoming debut album.

The Epidemic is a Cincinnati based band. Formed in 2004 We have seen our share of members, fans, fights,blood and all other things in between. A dark melodic blend of technical punk and traditional rock 'n roll make up our sound. We don't bullshit, we don't feed you the flavor of the week. We make make music we like playing and would listen to ourselves. We've shared the stage with bands such as Blitzkid, The Serpenteens, Dr. CHUD's X-WARD, Koffin Kats, Legbone and The Jackalopes to name a few. Most of these guys have become like brothers to us. Without them, our friends and family and of course you we wouldn't be a band. We don't have prove ourselves by having the heaviest breakdown or how much beer we can drink. Thats not what our music is about and it won't ever be. We love horror movies, we have disgustingly morbid senses of humor, and personally may offend you, which we think is hilarious, but were not trying to be the next campy horror punk band that everyone forgets. We are us and we want to make memorable music that we like making and you like listening to.

“perhaps we had better start from the beginning…” It all started in a small town in Indiana, where Van Heller and Dr. Hyde first met. Drawn together by a mutual love for Horror films and punk rock, they started what is now The B Movie Monsters. Doomsday and Little Jimmy Genocide were the natural choice for a rhythm section, both very talented and frightening. They had a common goal to have the music revolve around Horror films and things of the undead nature. Not an original premise by far, they knew they needed an element that would set them apart from misfit wannabes. They knew that their bizarre stage antics would never be enough; they needed something more, something sellable. Enter Stitches, the bands videographer. Stitches had an extensive knowledge of tech equipment and the undead, the perfect fit! Adding samples and keyboards live was exactly what they needed to set themselves apart from other bands in this genre. From word of mouth and success of the internet, The B Movie Monsters are steadily gaining fans from all over the world and playing shows in many surrounding states. Achieving all of their previous goals, they now know it is time to make new ones… world domination?

In the summer of 2004 Gruesome Boys crawled out of the wreckage of the band George Bush’s Heroin Connection. Originally a trio consisting of members Mike Lee (bass, vocals), Toby Sims (drums), and Dustin Keeling (vocals, guitar), they picked up lead guitarist Brent Wilkinson during the recording of their first record “Songs To Get Buried To” in the summer of 2006. In the time that has followed Gruesome Boys have played shows all over the Northwest, and is just coming off their first west coast tour with friends, and Robot Monster labelmates, Church for Sinners. This past Halloween Gruesome Boys released their second record “Songs From The End Of The Rope”, which was also their first album on the Robot Monster Records.

These groovy ghouls plan to continue their horrific brand of Shock N Roll with a sound and live show that's bound to get your blood boiling

The Horrorgans finally have a full band member lineup. They just recently inducted O.C. drummer Derrick Plum formerly of 81 days into the band and are now planning to release their original full length album "Take Us Under." The bands co-founder Chris Eck says "it's been a long time coming." The band also plans to perform all over So-Cal in support of the release of their record, so be on the lookout for this fully assembled rock and roll quintet!

The band started back in August 2005 but at the time wasn't actually even a band. It began with Johnny recording in his basement by himself on all instruments and vocals which led to the release of the first album in October of 2005 entitled "How to Wake the Dead." This was only intended to a be a solo project just for the sake of Johnny wanting to get it out of his system but when his friend (x-band member Mark E. Mortal) suggested that he put together a band, he decided to do so with some of his close friends who he had grown up with and been in other bands with previously. The early stages of the band were very reminiscent of The Misfits & Samhain but as they developed as a group and as Johnny developed as a song-writer, they would eventually stray quite a bit from their roots but never completely. Each album released after "How to Wake the Dead" were stepping stones leading up to how they would eventually sound. There was the self titled album released in 2006, "Calling All Monsters" released in 2007, "Some Things Are Better Left Undead" released in 2008, and "Monsterpiece" released in June of 2009. The band has since played with such acts as The Misfits on multiple occassions, Gotham Road, Michale Graves, Blitzkid, Gorgeous Frankenstein, Doomtree, Sponge, and others.

With six years under their belt and countless international tours to prove it, the Koffin Kats show no sign of slowing down. This trio blasted out of Detroit in June of 2003 with the mission to never stop for anything. Vic Victor (Lead Vocal, Upright Bass) would join forces with long time friend Tommy Koffin (Guitar) and start laying the ground work for the sonic assault known as The Koffin Kats.

Ghoul Patrol is one of the most brutal bands to creep out of the barren wastes of Finland. Formed in 2005, they've quickly ascended the ranks and most recently were named Best Underground Act of 2009 at the Finnish Metal Awards.

Blitzkid is one of the premiere punk bands of the new millennium. They began in Bluefield, WV in the winter of 1997. They have toured consistently all over the US and overseas. No strangers to playing live, and breaking down, to date they have played over 300 documented shows since 2006 alone, and God knows how many before that. Easily just as many, if not doubled. The band is headed up by Goolsby (bass/vokills) and TB (guitar/vokills). In the time they have been a band, they have garnered critical underground acclaim for their tireless work ethic, consistent, ever evolving album output, disregard for gas mileage, and dedication to giving their audience the respect they deserve through providing great songs and energetic live shows. The band has been branded by the road and eat its miles like candy.

Sometime in late 2005 Crank was sitting in a bar in Chicago, very drunk. Tim Seeley was sitting next to him, also very drunk, and they were talking about how they could make a low budget movie using local bars, alleys and whoever they could grab to work on it. Several soggy napkins (with scrawled notes and scribbles) later they hit on the idea of using the basic themes and styles of old Italian westerns and adapting them to a modern ghost story set in an alternate Chicago. Crank also thought it'd be a fun idea to write a soundtrack for the project and he knew just who to contact; Brian Day and Marquis Thomas of the horrorpunk band, 'the Vladimirs'. Longtime friends both, he knew they'd been thinking of doing something 'westernish' so it seemed like a brilliant idea. The main problem being that they were located several states away, Crank hopped into a rental and drove to Cincinnati to broach the idea. They thought it sounded good, so the work began. Initially the whole thing was meant to be a riff on Morricone soundtracks and all instrumental. Somehow in the course of re-introducing old material and coming up with new the project took it's own shape as some blend of dark western inspired, progressive 70's music and instrumentals based around a loose story from the movie. 2006 through 2007 saw much traveling back and forth between cities and files transferred between computers before the album became coherent. Unfortunately the movie never made it past the bar, but the recording is finished. AVAIABLE NOW ON CD !!! ONLY $10 (price includes shipping)

From Los Angeles, The Deep Eynde continues to be one of the last remaining bands that were part of the Hollywood underground movement of the early 1990’s. Founded by lead singer Fate Fatal, The Deep Eynde has grown from a performance art project into a musical force, and although their music is extremely hard to categorize, TDE has become a cornerstone of the American underground scene.

HadesMachine is what could be called Robot Monster’s “house band”. All music composed by label co-founder Jake Harrison, this project is allows for experimentation with a myriad of musical styles – mashing punk, metal, blues, big band, and surf, to name but a few – it’s the soundtrack of a dystopian world where every horrible thing can and will go wrong.

Vladimirs formed in 1995 as a side project by members of- Bad Samaritans (Brian Day), Thorns OF The Carrion (Marquis Thomas), Estuary (Ash Thomas), The Blame (Doug Nevels). The four decided to get together to do some music that was more loose with a 'campy-horror-movie' and 'classic 50's sci-fi' feel lyrically. The first s/t cd 'Vladimirs' was released in January of 1995 and is regarded by many as the '2nd Wave' of horror punk. With elements of punk, metal, goth, and rock the Vladimirs drew a large and diverse audience. Interest in the band from fans was so great that they knew this was bigger than just a side project. They took to the road and the name grew. The first cd is still out of print, highly sought after, and in some circles considered a classic. The Vladimirs went on to record 6 full length cd's and MANY appearances on compilations, tributes, 7"s, Lp's, movie soundtracks, and one-off rarities. The release of the newest 'Serpent Girl & Songs To Shed The Skin' cd on Blood And Guts Records marks the Vlads return to their roots. With catchy sing-along choruses and lyrics dark, sometimes humorous, and sometimes disturbing 'Serpent Girl' will prove itself to be a classic. Many bands exist in this genre but the Vladimirs are more diverse in their musical styles (drawing from many influences, not just punk) and they don't just write a song describing a horror movie that they have seen. They invade the mind of the listener or invite the listener to invade the mind of the band to experience the true horror that lies beneath the surface...the horror that is everywhere!!!

From the dark into the light, with sinister poetic songs about suffering, death, murder, about revenge and forgiving and all the other bloody truths of human life, Dean Roca and his kinsmen are coming around the bend with their meanwhile second longplayer. The sombre magick of this Poe-esque maelstrom of an album is simply irresistible. Produced by the long-term THE SPOOK fan and Kreator-mainman Mille Petrozza, and mixed as well as mastered by no one less than the internationally renowned Grammy Award winner Andy Sneap (Cradle Of Filth, Megadeth, Soulfly, Trivium, Caliban, As I Lay Dying), THE SPOOK’s „Let There Be Dark“ is a pearl of dark rock music which will make your heart beat faster, cleanse your soul and cause your muscles to convulse. The pressing, transparent, indecent production can only be described by the term coined by the band themselves: „GRAVEROCK DELUXE“, creating a powerful gloomy synthesis between – and crossing the borders separating – Horrorpunk, Deathrock, Metal, Stoner-Rock, and Wave-Gothik: „Let There Be Dark“ will blow fans away! As THE SPOOK is already one of the absolute favourites of many musicians, it is not surprising that Cradle of Filth’s Dave Pybus played bass on one of the new album’s tracks. Backing vocals were recorded by Blitzkid’s Goolsby and TB as well as the Popzilla’s Yvy Pop. When Ozzy Osbourne and ex-Rob Zombie bass player Blasko heard the first rough mixes of the new album he went into raptures: „This shit rocks! It’s amazing stuff! I simply love this band: THE SPOOK are one of my favs and the new songs sound like a natural progression, while still maintaining the ‘horror rock’ aesthetic. I anxiously await the new record!“ Whoever still has doubts about the quality, the authenticity and the whole concept of the band now must simply have hibernated through the last 30 years of rock music. GRAVEROCK can plainly not be more powerful, more succinct, or more alive – anticipate the upcoming tour and festival shows!

Five guys that share a love of horror come together to play heavy music and the product is Monster Party, hailing from the small town of Warner Robins, Georgia. With a passion for metallic and melodic, the music created by a few friends having a good time is certainly something original and all in the name of fun. Parts of songs ranging from extreme technical, to black metal, back to something you'd believe was from a Tim Burton movie. With theatrics and blatant passion for the music they play, a live Monster Party show is something to behold. Featuring everything from fake blood to smoke bombs, the band's live show has gained them love from adoring fans and has had them banned from a venue or two. Whether it be live or on record, the band seeks to play heavy music portrayed through a recurring theme of zombies and various other monsters.

Originally known as The Plan, American Werewolves were formed in 1998 by crooner Trevor Moment and by 2003 a permanent lineup was found in Nate 68 on drums, Tony Scambony on bass and Brendan Less on guitars. Much like their namesake, American Werewolves shape-shift from timeless 50’s doo-wop to violent, blood-curdling punk. Their sound is built upon the DIY punk foundation set by early punk bands like The Damned and The Misfits with hints of Frankie Lymon for good measure. With their fourth album, "The Lonely Ones" selling strong since it's release last May, American Werewolves are back and better than ever.

One cold autumn in 2005, D Zombie and Billeth were bound together by a mutual love of all things horror. The pair immediately set out to form a new breed of horror music; combing punk rock rhythms with horror imagary and crooning vocals. Joined in early 2006 by Daisy Spooks, the trio went on to release demos and play shows across the UK. In 2008, their CD A Chorus Of Corpses was released via Robot Monster, Inc.

The Ghost Storys originally started way back in 2006 with Pachuco and Stephen looking to complete the rhythm section. While later they found the only drummer who could withstand the wild mood swings and verbal abuse so they asked Tucker to join the trio. With only the 2nd show they played with the Peacocks and 2 weeks later the Quakes and the Phantom Rockers. After that they had shows in Houston about every week till the summer died down, then when it picked up again they decided to hit the road playing as many shows as they could get and began touring, the Lone Star State. It started to become a trend for Ghost Storys fans to get themselves kicked out before they would even go... playing many festivals and weekenders they decided to go into the studio in April 2007 for their 1st album "Subliminal Messages". They are now back in the studio recording "Planet Probe" their soon to be classic/masterpiece due out sometime in 2009. Also added short time friend "Roger" on 6 strings. Be on the look out for these four confused psychobillys touring various reigns of the States and Mexico, But in between Tucker's strict Parole duties and Pachuco's never ending case involving several Immigration Attorneys with intent for Administrative Removal the Ghost Storys have come out of temporary concealment in hopes of rendering themselves of any inconspicuous activity. But with Roger's side job of Law Malpractice they should be free to roam once again! More to come???
