Birtthday Massacre review from GOTHIC BEAUTY magazine

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 06:49:48 GMT

Since we have the Birthday Massacre hitting the stage at SIN Nightclub soon, we thought we'd put up the music review from the latest Gothic Beauty issue, in store now.

THE BIRTHDAY MASSSACRE
Walking With Strangers
Metropolis

Canada's The Birthday Massacre have served up yet another deliciously danceable delight to spice up your night at a Goth club, at private parties, or even just an enjoyable evening at home. This is a Darkwave/EBM treat! "Kill the Lights" is an interesting mix of stunningly beautiful ethereal musicianship pitted against lyrics that are just the opposite - morose and devoid of hope. "Science" is about calculated control over others, and it does just that as it compels listeners to join in the dance. "Movie" embraces the future while saying farewell to the past. "Red Stars" screams for attention - and gets it. (Athena)

Don't forget to come by and scoop up new and back issues of Gothic Beauty, Fiend, Devolution, TCB, Rue Morgue, Deathrock, and Drop Dead magazines at Beyond the TrapDoor.

Here's your sneak peek at the latest RUE MORGUE magazine

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 06:39:38 GMT

Rue Morgue
- Horror in Culture and Entertainment

From The Coroner's Report, as featured on page 12 of the latest edition of Rue Morgue

Weird Stats and Morbid Facts

In November 2004, 54 year old Geraldine Kelley made a deathbed confession that the husband she had always claimed died in a 1991 car crash, was in fact "in storage." Her statement led police to his dismembered remains, sealed in a bin at a Somerville, Massachusetts self-storage facility.

Tobe Hooper claims that he got the idea for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre while walking through the hardware section of a department store crowded with Christmas shoppers.

In South Africa, it was not uncommon for the bodies of soldiers who fought in the Boer War to be exhumed by witch doctors, who used the bones for black magic purposes.

The term "omaphagist" is used to describe someone who eats raw meat.

One of the filming locations for Stephen King's The Stand television miniseries was the State Utah Prison, which temporarily moved a whole wing of inmates to allow the crew to shoot in the facility.

Perilaus, the Greek who invented the Brazen Bull torture device - where a victim is stuffed into the body of a brass bull before a fire is lit beneath it - was also the first to suffer inside the device.

Piano Noir EP Launch by Clare Nina Norelli

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:38:44 GMT

Friday, July 11, 8:00pm

Artrage Bakery Complex
Northbridge
Perth, Western Australia

2008 sees Clare Nina Norelli (formerly nina.x) releasing her debut EP, Piano Noir, to be launched on July 11 at the Artrage Bakery. It will be a night of cabaret-themed revelry, with the support of sassy songbirds Disgrace Kelly and Jean Harlot performing a set of cabaret and jazz standards, the intriguing, moody meanderings of Humbert Humbert and a lounge set by the ever-enigmatic Will Stoker & The Embers.

The night also will include film projections and a prize for best costume, donated by Beyond The Trapdoor!

Seeya all there!
