THE FORBIDDEN DIMENSION "Widow's Walk" 1997

Great catchy horror punk with some 45 Grave & early Misfits influence & a strong 60s edge (cheap organ etc). A classic.
Forbidden Dimension started out in 1988, just as Jackson Phibes's (aka Aleister Hexxx) previous combo, Color Me Psycho, was calling it quits. It was initially conceived as a one-man one-off project, sonically in the Chrome / Metal Urbain / Roky Erickson / 60s punk / proto-metal mode. Thematically, it was (and remains) dedicated to illustrating a world where Coffin Joe and Julian Karswell run a Rest Home for the Terminally Bewildered in the Old Dark House on Spider Baby Hill. After 19+ years of slogging it out on the Western Canada dive bar/punk club circuit and leaving a small trail of cryptic (yet, as they say, rockin) recordings with various line-ups, labels, etc., Phibes figures there still ain't no end in sight. BEVARE!
