Hidden Gems & Guilty Pleasures: Superhorror (Italy)
Superhorror (Horror Punk // Italy)
Superhorror (formerly known as Superhorrorfuck) is a horror punk band from Verona, Italy, born in 2005.
Right from the start their sound was a raw, violent horror punk deeply influenced by bands like Murderdolls and Misfits, perfectly expressed in their 2008 debut album »Horrorchy«. Throughout the years Superhorror’s sound has been contaminated by different genres, from the glam rock of their second album »Livingdeadstars« (2010), to the heavier metal influence of »Death Becomes Us«” (2013). After their experimentation with catchy rock’n roll sound on »Hit Mania Death« (2017), Superhorror returned to their typical violent sound, with a touch of dark humor, combining horror punk and horror metal under their living dead attitude.
Superhorror’s latest release, »Graveyard Hits«, is a celebration of 20 years of undead rock’n’roll featuring twenty songs taken from all the band’s career (plus a brand new single »Post Mortem Pictures«), re-recorded and entirely produced by the band.
Superhorror’s music has a peculiarity, it deals with the fact of being dead and struggling to find a place in a society dominated by living people. The band is constantly evolving, due to its inner duality: Superhorror are not simple living dead, calling them “zombies” is quite reductive, they are evil dead spirits haunting living bodies, and this condition leads to a fight between the living and the dead parts, the show-machine and the artistic side.
Since the very beginning, their strength has been their live performances, costumes, make-up and the furious personalities on stage have always caught the audience’s attention, leading the band to perform all over their country and in Germany, France, Switzerland, U.K., Netherlands, Baltic States, always finding new fans thanks to their genuine entertaining shows.
