He can't help it.
It is his passion, his life....his drive.
P. Paul Fenech, the head of the psychobilly icon THE METEORS, has been realizing his own projects alongside this band for years. He has released a handful of solo albums, collaborated on several others, and recorded bands in his own studio, including Sir Psyko and his Monsters.
Now he has launched a new project with THE MURDER BROTHERS, and the first release is called “Murder Gospels Volume One“. So there could be more to come. This is not unlikely with Mr. Fenech.
“Murder Gospels Volume One“ already differs from the releases of recent years when listening to the first songs. The first thing that stands out is that the songs are darker and slower. Various styles can be heard. Blues, voodoo sounds, swamp rock, country, atmospheric partly progressive rock, of course old-school psychobilly, and perhaps even a bit of wave from the 70s and 80s.
The songs also remind one of soundtracks from more or less good horror films and thrillers from the 60s to the 80s.
It is a very special mixture.
The songs immediately create an atmosphere, and it is an atmosphere that (subtly) instills fear. It is an aura of impending doom that THE MURDER BROTHERS create. It is not the concrete fear that is stirred here, but just this aura of fear, which is much harder to achieve.
It is also a representation of the great art that P. Paul Fenech masters, namely captivating listeners with his voice and his very own characteristic guitar playing. He already achieved this masterfully with his solo albums, but what he has created with the ten songs of “Murder Gospels Volume One“ is another level.
However, opinions will be divided on this record. Fans who are into pure psychobilly or what P. Paul Fenech has recorded with his solo albums will mostly be disappointed.
On the other hand, this record will certainly also excite people who have not been able to connect with him before.
“Murder Gospels Volume One“ is a very special record for very special people.
