{"product_id":"frightmare-midnight-murder-mania-lp","title":"FRIGHTMARE -  Midnight Murder Mania LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eFRIGHTMARE formed in 2002 and hailed from the then-hot Portland, Oregon death\/grind scene, alongside such contemporaries as Engorged, Lord Gore, Splatterhouse, and Blood Freak. Along with sharing members with the first three named at various points, FRIGHTMARE were among the pivotal bands who defined the late\/great Razorback Recordings during the label’s early glory years. Most of all, FRIGHTMARE helped bring back the FUN in gory, grinding death metal with their two full-lengths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lightweightBreak\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased in 2003, Midnight Murder Mania was\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e FRIGHTMARE’s \u003cspan id=\"package_description_2\" class=\"peekaboo-text\"\u003emomentous debut album. While the rest of the larger death metal scene was about to begin picking the corpse of Swedeath, the then-quintet picked up the torch recently abandoned by Exhumed and spun various variations on Carcass’ early\/BEST era of their first two albums – but, most crucially, added a fun \u0026amp; freewheeling aura drawn from ‘80s horror VHS tapes. Gory and grinding, to be sure, FRIGHTMARE’s attack never sought to reinvent the wheel; rather, they honored the past with a reverential, passionate recasting of Reek of Putrefaction and Symphonies of Sickness, and did so with crunching, all-analog aplomb. No triggers, no pose, no canoes!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lightweightBreak\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo honor Razorback’s early\/mid-2000s apex, HELLS HEADBANGERS is exhuming FRIGHTMARE’s glorious corpse with reissues of both their albums. Midnight Murder Mania will be available on vinyl LP for the first time in nearly 20 years – and, for the first time ever, on picture disc! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/frightmare.bandcamp.com\/album\/midnight-murder-mania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003ehttps:\/\/frightmare.bandcamp.com\/album\/midnight-murder-mania\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hells Headbangers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499704525175,"sku":null,"price":25.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0337\/6689\/9845\/files\/129017815.jpg?v=1790688960","url":"https:\/\/www.cryptofthewizard.com\/products\/frightmare-midnight-murder-mania-lp","provider":"Crypt of the Wizard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
