Summary: A "must have" addition to your horrorcore collection


Serial Killin Records has once again come through for us with yet another off the hook release. Welcome to the world of Razakel and her latest album "Madness & Despair" , a bizarre twist to the style that we have all come to love over the past few years. Razakel returns with an angry and blasphemous collection of hate filled, insanity ridden, toe curling tracks meant only for the evil at heart.
Despite the bias on female rappers in the horrorcore scene, Razakel has proven once again on "Madness & Despair" that this is where she belongs, standing up toe to toe with her male counterparts. You can expect guest spots by some of horrorcore's finest artists in the scene today, including several of Serial Killin Records own artists. Production is, of course, top notch as always thanks to Serial Killin Records C.E.O. SickTanicK.
Wicked Intent Radio reports postive feedback from listeners and staff and has added Madness & Despair to their daily playlist.
Madness & Despair is currently availiable at KillMusick.

Prepare yourselves for what can only be described as a explicit horror filled trip into the world of sin, gore, madness, and death."

19. Isolated Feelings - "A painful childhood, parental conflict, and people drawn only to the "artist" rather than the person inside brings out the gut wrenching emotions of a troubled girl .... Razakel."
20. Count To Six and Die - "The album ends with a bang, literally. A final demonic twist leaving you looking over your shoulder and quite possibly on the verge of insanity."
In conclusion, Madness & Despair comes HIGHLY recommended. Razakel's best work to date!
