Welcome 2 My Nightmare

So as we have mentioned many times on RFR, the sequel album to Alice Cooper’s original hit is out now! Dropping online, in stores, and more, you can now get your copy of WELCOME 2 MY NIGHTMARE.

This has been a long anticipated follow up to the original LP of the same name. And Alice hasn’t been sitting down on the promotion either. We recently posted on the site, that Alice is also have his own Haunted Attraction at the Universal Halloween Horror Nights in California.

From his personal appearances throughout rock history from Television, Music Videos and even The Muppet Show, Alice set the Horror Trend in Rock N Roll as the innovator of the genre. Many have followed in his footsteps so much so the Newest Wednesday 13 Single ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’ (Click Here to Listen to The Track) mentions Alice Cooper as his childhood inspiration!

The tracks from this sequel album over 35 years overdue are hard hitting, riff splitting and classic in true Alice style. With tracks like ‘The Nightmare Returns’ or ‘I’ll Bite your Face Off’, Alice pulls out all the punches. True to Horror, the spooky feel and the complete storyline of his albums in concept ring true.

It may be over 35 years too late, but better late than never from the Original Rock Horror Icon!!

BUY WELCOME 2 MY NIGHTMARE ON AMAZON by CLICKING HERE

ABOUT ALICE COOPER:
“Every great production deserves a sequel – even if comes 35-plus years after the original. In 1975, Alice Cooper joined forces with longtime collaborator and producer Bob Ezrin to record his first solo album Welcome to My Nightmare, a theatrical concept album about the nightmares of a young boy named Steven. Now, he’s followed Steven into adulthood and presents Welcome 2 My Nightmare, a new but familiar concept album about the fear, anxiety and disgust that haunt Alice Cooper’s dreams in an era of Facebook, Lady Gaga, Sketchers and Angry Birds.

“Alice hates technology, disco is still a nightmare for him and working in a cubicle from nine-to-five would give him cold sweats,” Cooper says. “At the same time, this is a nightmare so all these normal life things are thrown into this crazy world that’s only logical when you’re in the nightmare. You could have an elephant in your garage, and you’re on the lawn in a pink tutu cooking hot dogs. And at the time it’s fine. But when you wake up you go, ‘How insane is that? Where did that come from?’ So we realized that having Alice in a modern-world nightmare is a great place to come from theatrically because we can go anywhere we want and make it as insane as possible.”

Alice Cooper: The Original Horror Icon

A wild, surreal odyssey, Welcome 2 My Nightmare provided Cooper and Ezrin the opportunity to work with numerous musicians and experiment with various musical styles. The three surviving members of the original band, guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway and drummer Neal Smith, co-wrote three songs and they all played on “When Hell Comes Home,” a gritty ‘70s-style rock track about the nightmare of domestic abuse. “I wanted the song to feel like it was off of Love it to Death or Killer, Cooper says. “But we never had to talk about playing the song ‘70s-style, they just did it. It was great and there was nothing we could do to make it any more ‘70s ‘cause that’s just the way these guys play.”

The collaborations with his fellow original band members stemmed from their 2010 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for which they reunited to play four songs. “I was always looking for a logical reason to work with them again,” Cooper says. “When we broke up there was no bad blood. Most bands break up and they start suing each other. We never broke up on that level. We broke up on a very friendly level. ‘You go do what you’re gonna do, I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do. Let’s see what happens.’ When we got in the Hall of Fame I called them up and I said, ‘We have to do four songs. Let’s get together and rehearse.’ And they sounded great. They played great. We did a few projects after that. We played a couple times together. And I said, ‘Let’s keep it going. Let’s get these guys on the album.’ And Bob said, ‘That’s a great idea. Let’s write with these guys.’ It just worked.”

The first single from Welcome 2 My Nightmare, “I’ll Bite Your Face Off,” is about a gorgeous but deadly female who takes Alice by the hand and guides him through the various scenes of his nightmare. The song was co-written by Neal Smith and features a swaggering ‘60s British rock rhythm, brash, bluesy guitars and sneering, seductive vocals. “We tried to make this sound as much like early Rolling Stones as possible and we really did capture that,” Cooper says. “We’ve been doing it onstage and the audience sings along without knowing the song.”

On “Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever,” Cooper combines a tongue-in-cheek disco beat and rhythm with near-rap vocals and lyrics about taking a machine gun to zombie disco dancers who refuse to die. Then there’s the zany surf rock of “Ghoul’s Gone Wild,” the derelict down-on-his-luck slur of “The Last Man on Earth,” and the Beatles meet Gary Glitter show tune “The Congregation,” which stars Rob Zombie as a narrator describing such modern-day nightmares as telemarketers, lawyers, pimps, mariachi bands and mimes.

One of the highlights for Cooper is the throbbing, modern rocker “What Baby Wants,” which stars Ke$ha as the devil. “Some people thought I was crazy to have Ke$ha on the record, but I never saw her as one of these Britney Spears diva girls. I saw her more as a rock singer. So I said, ‘Let’s present you not as a diva, but as a rock singer on this.’ We wrote the song together and in the end the darker lyrics were hers.”

Like The original Welcome To My Nightmare, which was highlighted by “Only Women Bleed,” Welcome 2 My Nightmare also features a lovelorn ballad, “Something to Remember Me By,” which was written with Dick Wagner back when they released “I Never Cry” in 1976. “We never used it on an album before because I never felt I was good enough to sing that song,” Cooper reflects. “It was never in my key, I could never get it right. Finally, we got it where my voice is in the right place so we included it and it may be the prettiest ballad we ever wrote. Steve Hunter played guitar on it and we really got a nice Beatles-y sound out of it. So when you’re listening to it you hear this really pretty romantic song and then you realize that in the Nightmare Alice is singing to a pile of bones that used to be a girl.”

Fans of the first Welcome To My Nightmare will recognize melodic references to the original woven throughout the new record. For example, in the cinematic minor-key song “The Nightmare Returns,” Ezrin plays the theme from “Steven” when Cooper sings, “I think we’ve heard that song before.”

“I really like the idea of having some of the musical identity of the first album showing up in the second album,” Cooper says. “It really connects the two and if you’re a real Alice fan and you hear those themes it makes you feel comfortable.”

Welcome To My Nightmare, which came out in 1975, was a landmark album for Cooper. It was his first solo release, following a historic string of anthems written and recorded by the original band between 1971 and 1974, including “School’s Out,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” “Elected,” and “I’m Eighteen.” A multimedia smash long before the dawn of music television, Welcome To My Nightmare proved that Cooper could remain popular musically and could take theatricality to an entirely new level of dream by exposing audiences to the crippling fears of a seven-year-old child with an active imagination.

Welcome To My Nightmare spawned two major singles, the ominous, anthemic title track and the beautiful, melancholy acoustic ballad “Only Women Bleed,” and featured narration by horror movie icon Vincent Price. In addition to touring the live “Welcome To My Nightmare” show, Cooper created the prime time special The Nightmare, which was essentially the first long form music video. The program debuted in April 1975. In September he shot the concert film “Welcome To My Nightmare” at London’s Wembley Arena.
“A seven-year-old kid is pretty sure there’s something living in the closet and thinks that something is waiting for him under his bed,” Cooper says. “His toys are probably coming to life and trying to kill him. And I thought, ‘Well, that’s a good general approach for the album because we’ve all been kids and we’ve all had those nightmares.’”

Something Wicked This Was Comes by Wednesday 13

Wednesday 13, The Horror Rock man who has been a guest on Rotting Flesh Radio as a guest and also had his music on the show, is no stranger to Horror Rock Fans everywhere.

Recently Wednesday 13 reunited with the Murderdolls and released a new CD a few year ago. Now, getting back to his catchy riffs, horror lyrics and solo career, Wednesday is amping up for his newest CD to drop soon ‘CALLING ALL CORPSES’.

The new single is titled ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’ and serves as a look back to Wednesday’s childhood filled with toys, horror and more. The song is catchy, the riffs are heavy and Wednesday’s style is very apparent once again. Although many will hope the song is filled with references from the 80s Walt Disney Productions film featuring Jonathan Pyrce, it has nothing more than the title to share. But this doesn’t affect the power horror heavy hitting song Wednesday is known for.

Take a listen and jam away. The CD can be found on amazon as well as the debut single at: www.Amazon.com – Something wicked This Way Comes

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Wednesday 13

We are working to get Wednesday 13 back as a guest on Rotting Flesh Radio but until then, Sit Back, Relax and Rot Away to his newest horror release Deadites!!!

ABOUT THE HAUNT ROCKER:
In 2008, a new musical specter “materialized” into the Haunted Attraction Industry, gouging his way into the Haunted Attractions of the nation.

His focus? To change the traditional haunt music of the industry on its’ ear by creating his own brand of Haunt-Strumetal™ soundscapes.

Starting with Rotting Flesh Radio’s “RFR Presents: Dark Pandemonium ” A Descent into the Labyrinth of the Mind”, the 18-track Dark Carnival/Vampire concept CD “Damnations Embrace”, the re-envisioning of the Midnight Syndicate’s classic “Shadows” for the sound track CD “The Dead Matter: Original Soundtrack” (Winner of the 2011 Golden Cob for “Best B-Movie Soundtrack”) , as well as custom tracks for the Toxicity Haunted Attraction and Wells Township Haunted House , the abomination “Soul Collector” and the dark, demented corners of the newest soundscape “The Attic”, the Haunt Rocker has slowly infested his aural apparitions into the haunts around the globe.

The House of Shock

As we have said time and time again on Rotting Flesh Radio, a haunted attraction must stay current, and up to date on its website. This is to both, keep the current times and dates, information and more for the 2011 season as well as give your potential customers that ‘First Glance’ at what to expect out of your haunt.

This is an important piece to any Haunted House because this could make or break potential customers. This is what gives them the hint at scares lurking at the haunt and more.

Well all-new for 2011, Chad Savage of Sinister Visions has completed and helped the HOUSE OF SHOCK unleash their new site!

The new site captures the true terror that awaits customers at this intense Haunted Attraction. The graphics are very interactive, fluttering across your monitor sending chills down your spine while giving you chills of pure delight in what you experience at the House of Shock.

HouseOfShock.com

The House of Shock has been featured on television, including the Travel Channel and is one of the most intense, terrifying, sadistic, demonic haunted attractions that will leave you in sweat waking from your bed at home!

Within the new website you can see photos from the event, including the dark haunting images that are burned into your brain after peeing your pants at the event.

Chad Savage has done a fantastic job on the new site and it remains easy to navigate for users, has full photo galleries and is interactive for your haunter delight. You can buy from the store and see some twisted videos.

The House of Shock is kicking off on September 30, 2011 and will run on weekends until the close of the Haunt Season. Tickets go on sale at 7:00 pm at the box office (in front of the haunted house) on OPEN NIGHTS ONLY.

The haunted house opens at 8:00 pm. The Box Office closes at 11:00 pm on Fridays & Saturdays, 10:00 pm every other night.
