The Rhythm Coffin
The style of music The Rhythm Coffin plays can best be described as “Monster Rock-n-Roll“. While using bits and pieces from many influences, the Coffin mainly derives its sound from "old-skull ghoul-time-Rock-n-Roll" with an echo of classic rock mixed in. Lyrically their songs range from instructional dance songs--think cooler, more undead versions of "The Hokey Pokey"--to spooktastic stories of life as a ghoul, and experiences from Monsterville. If you’re a fan of Alice Cooper, KISS, or The Rocky Horror Picture Show, you're probably already a fan, even if you don't realize it yet.
The Rhythm Coffin has been affectionately dubbed the B-52s of the Horror Rock scene. Although an unlikely fit, it's a title they wear with pride. As frontman Gruesome Gereg, himself, puts it, "We want you up and dancing to our songs! We are a fun band, that is serious about having a 'ghoul time'!"
Lead vocals are shared by Gruesome Gereg and Eerie Emma with spooktacular back up vocals provided by the Ghoulie Girls--Eerie Emma and her partner in grime, Scarrie Carrie. Ghoul Hectic keeps the undead beat on drums, Blood Baron Aaron gives you the thunder from six feet under -each string representing a foot of dirt he dug himself out of to emerge from his grave." Gruesome Gereg swings the axe, keeping the go-go groove going ghoulishly on.
So put on your Bat Suede Boots and get ready to do the "Tombstone Twist", the "Haunted Hop" and ALL The Rhythm Coffin hits!
