here's a new review by cole from " punk music reviews:

Little to my knowledge, France's Monster Klub has been quietly producing addictive horrorpunk psychobilly tunes for a little over ten years.  But only after signing to globally distributed psychobilly giant Raucous Records for their forth album Not Dead Yet have I have the pleasure of running across this firmly established act.

While I was initially underwhelmed after sampling a few tracks, a complete runthrough reveals a psychobilly band with good control over the genre.  Monster Klub essentially sounds like a more traditionally influenced version of Germany's Bloodsucking Zombies from Outter Space.  The band keeps their style simple, and rather than incorporate punk-rock or metal influences, Monster Klub plays a classic 80's style psychobilly with a dash of country.  Their lead vocalist, singularly referred to as "paskal," has a thick French accent distorted by a deep throaty growl, making for an unearthly vocal delivery.  Further like the Bloodsucking Zombies, Monster Klub playfully sings about ghouls, zombies, and the undead.  But to their benefit, their songs and melodies are never dark enough to turn the casual listener off, but also not goofy enough for die hard horrorpunk fans to completely disregard. 

The band keeps a certain horror movie essence, reminiscent of bad b-movies and horror classics.  Simply skimming the track list reveals playful track names including "Zombie Dance Klub," "Gore Star," and (my personal favourite), "Godzilla can't Surf."  Some songs even throw in a few stock horror movie sounds.  For example, "Billy's Last Run" adds a subtle chainsaw buzz during the final bridge, and in the surf inspired instrumental "Godzilla can't Surf" the band sprinkles in a few of Godzilla's unmistakable cries.  Thankfully the band guides their songs through their own instruments, only drawing upon sound-bites as tasteful flourishes.

Monster Klub plays at a frantic pace across the entire album, only slowing down for the pair of haunting acoustic tracks "The Witches Hill" and "Voodoo Barbeque."  Fittingly, the album opens with the instrumental introduction "Crash (intro)," finishing 16 tracks later with its conclusive counterpart, "Crash (outro)."  The continuation of the intro track frames Not Dead Yet as an album with all the intensity and danger of a fatal car chase - an effect successfully sustained by the band's furious guitars and thickly strummed upright double bass. 

Simply put, Not Dead Yet is one hell of a ride.


GO PSYCHO

"Not Dead Yet!"
Raucous Rcds | 16 titres | 2008 | Psychobilly

Critique : Excellent album! Au début, le départ d'Éric (basse) laissait présager le pire pour le trio d'Horror-School Psychobilly. Mais il semble bien que l'arrivée de Seb (ex-ASTRO-ZOMBIES et ex-VOODOO DEVILS) et de sa contrebasse ait en fait reboosté le groupe. Les compositions de PaSKaL, sa voix hargneuse et ses mélodies une nouvelle fois originales font mouche à chaque fois, et la batterie d'Arno est comme à l'habitude impeccable.
Bref, des mélodies qui restent longtemps à l'esprit après l'écoute (comme "MADE IN HELL" ou encore "GORE STAR"), un son très personnel et bien maîtrisé, et beaucoup de hargne: du grand art!

Nunca he sido muy fan de este grupo frances, y he de reconocer que me han soprendido con este nuevo trabajo, su pasión por Meteors es mas que latente en cada uno de sus trabajos, y aqui se reconfirma su adoración por Pablito Fenech. El cd está compuesto por dieciseis cortes con intro y outro incluidas. Las canciones siguen con la temática habitual, monstruos, terror y danzas macabras, y el sonido del disco es apoteosico con un buen trabajo de producción. Todos los temas tienen su aquel, pero sin duda me quedo con "Not dead yet!", "Gore star", "Good Kat", "Godzilla can..t surf", "Rock and roll thunder", y "Made in hell" sin duda es su mejor trabajo, si te gusta Meteors, te van a encantar.

RAUCOUS RECORDS:
The Monster Klub play straight ahead Psychobilly as it should be played. It's hard rockin' horror-themed Psycho-Rockabilly - pulsating rhythms, slappin' bass, searing guitar and ghoulish lyrics. You won't find the heavy Punk Rock and Thrash Metal influences that other bands have brought into the genre - just no-nonesense Monster Klub style Psychobilly stomp. The fantastic fourth studio album from one of the European scene's best bands.

PUNK RAWK MAGAZINE:
Ça démarre sur les vrombissements d'une moto et ça part en burnout avec Not dead yet, un constat sur la bonne santé de Monster Klub après dix années de bagarres et cinq albums. Ces seizes nouvelles chansons, sous-titrées Song of Love, death and revenge ont permes au trio français de séduire le label anglais raucous records. Les trois musiciens surnomment leur mixture le Horror School Psychobilly. Entre les Meteors, les stray cats et mad Sin, le trio s'enivre d'histoires de zombies, de monstres étranges, de gore salissant, de tueurs en série, pour une danse remuante au potentiel indéniablement international. On comprend alors mieux l'engouement que suscite Monster Klub en dehors de nos frontieres.
