The universe in the mind of The Meteors' head consists of much darkness, ominous darkness, gloomy premonitions, and the truly, genuinely evil. Here, someone is not just playing the bad boy; he is one. Truly!
The 15 songs on “I, Monster“ are once again a ride through the cave that Paul created. Evil lurks everywhere, in the form of old-school psychobilly and rockabilly; if there ever was such a thing as pre-horrorbilly, this is it. Added to that are the blues, slight country influences, and a lot of instrumental sound.
It’s a bit strange to listen to this record in the summer. Evil needs darkness. Nevertheless, one can feel how much charisma is in the music. The album practically pulls you into P. Paul Fenech's universe. You willingly let the music lure you into the unknown. You transform... somehow.
And despite the ever-present musical and sung doom, P. Paul Fenech manages to create musical gems. Be it “L‘odio Cavalca De Solo“, the soundtrack to the next “Django“ film. Be it the classically structured B-movie pre-horrorbilly song “Werewolf“ or “You Ain't Stopping Me (From Going Down To Hell)“, which falls somewhere between country and whiskey-soaked hillbilly.
The more than 54 minutes are enjoyable for fans of this music. Nothing else can be expected from Mr. Fenech. It is what one expects from Mr. Fenech. This is meant positively, as what Fenech has released in recent years has definitely made history in the scene. P. Paul Fenech is an icon of the scene, and every second of this record proves why.
In addition to the standard formats, “I, Monster“ is also available as a special box limited to 500 pieces, containing three one-sided vinyl records as well as memorabilia that someone who carries the devil within cannot do without.
