I think this CD really shows people what metal is supposed to be like. The solo's are intense, the riffs are catchy and the vocals are brutal/sadistically humorous. Would make an epic gift for anyone who is into exploring metal or just enjoys a good punk/thrash crossover CD.

Deep within the catacombs under Ghoul's castle in Creepsylvania, there are rooms filled with meat hooks drenched in blood, chainsaws with tufts of human flesh in the teeth and tables littered with skeletal remains. In the room next to those you will find the darkest and filthiest of them all...this is where the SPLATTERTHRASH is brought to life!

What should one expect from SPLATTERTHRASH? Well, actually, the title defines it perfectly. It's a combination of blood splattering, gut stomping atmospheres intertwined with saw to the bone thrash. Don't let that fool you though, as Ghoul can change it up as quickly as blood spilling out of a gutted pig. While songs like "As Your Casket Closes" and "Gutbucket Blues" have more of a traditional thrash sound, songs like "Bury the Hatchet" and "Cult of the Hunter" often cross into death metal territory and while there is a good deal of treading the thrash and death metal line on this album, the band trade off between the two flawlessly. If you dig on thrash and death metal but want something a little extra, Ghoul provide it courtesy of the ghastly surfabilly/rockabilly instrumental "Psychoplasm".

Ghoul will appeal to not only the fans of horror themed music (horror punk, horror rock, horror THRASH!) but to fans of straightforward thrash and death metal as well. The band is a great combination of imagery (check out some videos of these guys) and top-notch musicianship. I highly suggest checking these guys out if you haven't already.

If you ain't use to chainsaw guitars and bleeding vocals then PISS OFF! This 3rd studio album by one of the greatest new bands around will tear you inside out if you ain't ready. Go to their shows and support the Creepslyvania 4some because if you don't then you might not be able to sleep.So long and see you next time in Creepslyvania. Muahahaha.

my Mommy bought this for christmas for me and I dont like it. it has a funny sufer but he is ugly and I think he sucks. my friend Jimmy at school laughed at me for owning this label. he likes real metal and not silly songs. I went to disney world after hearing this album and I bought a mickey mouse poster but my Mommy said I cant put it on my wall until I listen to my Splattermouse CD. I hate her

What happened to Ghoul? The first album was amazing death metal with a sinister horror atmosphere. The second album was mediocre at best but still had its decent moments. Now Ghoul is a wimpy surf band trying to play an ultra bland thrash that seems like it's part of an unoriginal retro-thrash trend. The vocals sound so weak too! I'm embrassed I even own this. The music gets boring fast and all the songs sound like the same surfer thrash crap. Put a fork in Ghoul, they're done. If Ghoul goes on any further they'd probably end up being a reject worthelss GWAR-clone on Mickey Mouse surf boards..wait, that actually sounds like what they are now. I feel sorry for Razorback Records cause this boring album doesn't have the intensity of what they normally release and they probably regret wasting money on putting this out.
