MAD SIN – Burn and Rise

reviewed by Chris Aitkens | Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

There’s not a lot I can say about this album other than that it pretty much sets a new bar for psychobilly and horrorbilly genre. Mad Sin still keep the elements that make psychobilly great — like the coffin-shaped bass, dyed greaser haircuts, and songs about femme fatales, whiskey, murder, and acts of deviousness — but they add in a bit more variety to their style, mixing in country blues and occasional death metal guttural vocals. Some songs are calm, some songs are quick-paced and rockin’, some songs are even in German. This album could be the beginning to a new shape of psychobilly to come. A must have for those of you who drive around in bright red Cadillacs and have Lucky 13 tattoos.
