Although Karloff does have the Black Metal label slapped on the cheeks, the Punkish inner self prevails throughout the years.
Karloff’s Metallic Punk has a certain dark approach, a bit of blackness, if you will. A certain horror-like feeling, like someone fleeing in the dark, constantly looking over their shoulder to see if the villain is there…certain guitar or basslines create that kind of atmosphere. Carnivore Punkish Black ‘n Roll, with an angry hardcore-like shouting vocalist instead of a growl or a scream.
Listen before you buy, especially if you’re blinded by the “Black Metal” label.
