SLASH PICKS HIS TOP 5 HORROR MOVIES FOR REVOLVER MAG…

Posted on May 4, 2012


SLASH
caught up with Revolver Magazine recently to discuss his top five horror movies – check out which flicks he picked and why below!

Let the Right One In

“It’s a vampire movie that’s just one of the best horror movies I’ve seen in a long time.”

The Strangers

“I just happened on that, you know, on satellite, I guess it was, flipping through the movie channels. I had never heard of it, and I think it was probably Liv Tyler that made me catch it. You know, it’s like, we’ve known her for a while. And I was like, ‘ah this movie of hers I’ve never seen’. And it was just about to start, so we watched, and Perla, my wife, and I were just in bed, you know, middle of the night. And fuck, it was one of the scariest movies I’ve seen in ages.”

The Omen

“The Omen is probably my all-time top favorite horror movie. It’s just really well written. It’s the kind of movie that sort of is a huge catalyst in what Slasher Films is all about: character driven, psychologically, genuinely scary movies, not–contrary to the name of the company–not slasher movies, not mindless dismemberment movies. Which are great to an extent, but it’s become, like, the norm for the genre now. And it’s got pretty old, you know?”

Night of the Living Dead

“When I was a kid I saw that at a drive-through with my mom, it scared the shit out of me. And that one, you know, all things considered, has had the biggest influence on what we consider slasher movies now, sort of gore movies. But being in black and white, and just the whole original concept, it was really unnerving.”

Frankenstein

“Boris Karloff is great and it’s obviously one of the classic horror stories of all time. But it was just really well done. And the moodiness of it in the town, the atmosphere of the locale is fantastic. But all the characters are great. And it’s just got that creepy old feel that still just stands the test of time.”

OPETH / STORM CORROSION’S MIKAEL AKERFELDT TALKS TO LOUDWIRE ABOUT HIS NEW PROJECT, DEATH METAL VOCALS AND MORE!

Posted on May 1, 2012

Loudwire recently caught up with Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth and STORM CORROSION just hours before the band’s recent New York City show with label mates MASTODON. Akerfeldt spoke about his decision to veer away from death metal both stylistically and vocally, his new project STORM CORROSION with PORCUPINE TREE frontman Steven Wilson and much more. Check an extract from that interview below:

I recently had the chance to hear the new Storm Corrosion disc and I think it’s such a beautiful album. You’re working with Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree), who is one of your idols in a sense. You can hear elements of Opeth and Porcupine Tree, but it’s not too much to either side. It feels like you guys met right in the middle to create something very new.

Yeah, we never tried to do something that sounded like a mix. I think we tried to avoid that actually. For us to make a rock record, I think it would have been easier for us to fall into that frame of mind. All of a sudden we’re doing something that sounds exactly like a mix between our respective bands, but that’s not really interesting — not to me anyways. So we more or less tried to avoid that. We kind of gravitated towards those types of bands and those types of influences that we have never been able to use too much in our other bands, which made it sound a bit different. I like to think that it’s hard to categorize this record. It’s not a rock record, but it has some influences from rock music. I like to think it’s fairly new sounding.

STORM CORROSION’s self titled album is out on Monday and you can pre-order your copy by pointing your mouse in this direction.
