THE CRIMSON GHOSTS / DIEMONSTERDIE 

"Sharing Prey 7", Dr. Cyclops Records 

Sharing Prey is like a blood pact pressed on wax - courtesy of Germany's Crimson Ghosts and America's DieMonsterDie. Each band covers a song of the other and contributes an original. The Crimson Ghosts kick things off with "The Body Bag," a straight-ahead rocker that builds momentum steadily while screaming warnings to NOT release whatever's in that mysterious bag. They follow that track up with "October Slowly Dying", a DieMonsterDie cover, which boasts some nice piano work that creates a cold gothic horror vibe before the punk riffs come steam rolling in. DieMonsterDie's "She Looks Like You" is a typical offering from the band - 80's metal-inspired punk with ridiculous Danzig-clone vocals. They hit the coffin nail on the head with their version of The Crimson Ghosts "Death From Above," however, turning it into a wicked, high-octane fist pumper. This split 7" is beautifully packaged, comes with an illustrated lyrics sheet and is limited to 666 pcs. worldwide (333 on red in the US, and 333 in white in Europe). And for those of you who don't own a turntable, it includes a password to digitally download the songs, making it a nice catch for the devil-lock set. 

4 skulls out of 5 (on Rue Morgue's scale this is near perfect, considered "Dangerous", a step down from "Deadly")

In addition, the LP was listed as July 2009's album of the month and will be playing this month on Rue Morgue Radio, an XM Satellite radio station!!
