These gentlemen are the most underrated act that I know of in rock. You hear nothing about them, they're not big though they've been around for a few years, and they crank out incredibly fun, high energy, and polished songs that you would expect out of a cross between AFI, The Offspring and the Misfits if either of them were still worth a damn. Not to mention these guys look like the most stylish band of switchblade-toting 50's greasers you've ever seen.

There may not be a bad song on this disc, if you like early misfits and no frills harmonic darkness with an edge, you are undoubtedly going to feel this. If I had a record label i would push these guys so hard it would wipe that poppy sell out Davey Havoc right off the f---ing map.

For those of you that just can't get enough of the Misfits or Tiger Army or any of the other amazing horror based groups out there, this is THE album you must hear. Calabrese puts it together like it should be, zombies, hearses, and a bucket of blood. 13 Halloweens should be on the shelves of every music store in America. Truly amazing work.

This is an incredible debut album from the best modern horror punk band. This album is just so much fun, and it never gets old, and like one of the reviewers said they have found their niche in a genre full of copy-cats. The vocals are great, the lyrics are cool, Davey's drums and Jimmy's bass are great, and Bobby's guitar is very good. Bobby and Jimmy's vocals are so cool, they have great melody, but they can also sound really dark and evil, like the greatest of all, evil-Elvis Glenn Danzig could. One of Us really shows their darker more evil sound. While, Every Day is a Funeral shows their more melodic sound. Highlights of the album are everything as far as I am concerned, play this whole album through and you will love each and every track, like I do. My favorite song would probably have to be Blood in my Eyes, which is a really cool punk song, reminicent of old-school AFI, with awesome lyrics, especially the chorus. Check it out! If you love horror punk/rock you must buy this album, you will not be disappointed!

So many "horror rock" bands are simple carbon copies of the Misfits or Samhain with nothing original to offer. If they don't fall in that category they are simply trying to rip off the Cramps or Nekromantix style of psychobilly. Calabrese does not fall into either of these categories... they fall in line more with Nim Vind... simply meaning... they are inspired by all the above bands... but have found their own voice in a sea of unoriginals!

Really catchy,melodic horror punk that isn't trying to be a carbon copy of the Misfits and I love the samples from B movies interspersed throughout the album.
Thank god for ipods so I can listen to this while I'm on the go,
I'm actually kind of surprised Calabrese aren't bigger than what they are
if you haven't already check these guys out you won't be dissapointed.

Its perfect horror rock. Not too much like psychobilly and not too much like doom rock, its right where it should be. Eerie ambient voices, fast paced music, short songs, and crooning and growling vocals are what its all about. And these guys nailed it on thier first full length album. They proved horror rock can live on without stand-up bass or overly goofy or dark lyrics. I applaud them for a job incredibly well done! BUY IT and become a minion of the Young American Mystic Cult of Horror!

Not just another Misfits or AFI clone! They bring a great, straight-forward rockin' sound to the musical subgenre of horror rock. Danzig is jealous!
