Howdy, Traxians!

Erik here. Whenever I see the title for this week's release, I can't help but imagine an alternate-universe, Don Bluth-animated version, "All Zombies Go To Hell." Maybe someone needs to make that poster...

Our new release sounds like something an angry dad would yell downstairs at a rowdy middle school sleepover. “What in the Hell of the Living Dead are you kids doing down there??”
Hopefully they’re not transforming into flesh-eating zombies after a bizarre factory accident like in the movie, but you never know with kids these days.
Hell of the Living Dead is an Italian zombie movie, so you know you’re in for lots of cheesy gore, sexy ladies, confusing stereotypes, and a score by the band Goblin. (Actually, we hear this movie borrowed most of its score from Dawn of the Dead, but that’s Goblin’s business, not ours). After a rat-based chemical mishap at something called a Hope Center, people start turning all zombified and chowing down on human types. It’s a failure of an ecological program called “Operation Sweet Death.” Man, who could’ve guessed something bad might happen with “Operation Sweet Death”?

Enjoy the first give minutes above. And get the full version here!

More soon, so stay tuned!
