Coral The Merknight has emerged from the dark and murky sub surfaces of the unforgiving seas to band together with likeminded musicians of whom share a passion to expose pressing social topics which have not been given sufficient attention within the metal community; standing up against girlfriends who get in the way of quality gaming time, discovering more innovative yet still classy ways to consume alcohol, preventing needless bug zapper injuries, and don’t worry there is still time to do battle with giant imposing demonic beings in traditional heavy metal fashion. Have at thee SEARANTULA!

Ugly Kid Joe - Stairway to Hell (EP)

Ugly Kid Joe, those dirty bum rockers from the “Neighborhood” that hated “Everything About You” and were born as a joke – the evil twin of “Pretty Boy Floyd” are officially back! Yay!
 
“Stairway to Hell” is a 6 track self-released EP to herald their return to the scene. And I am guessing that I genuinely have missed these guys. Grungy and dirty, but certainly NOT grunge, they both had fun and were funny too, while on occasion they were getting seriously heavier and grittier, especially, towards the end, before they went on a decade plus long hiatus.
