from the bowels of Hell, Michigan, Graveface band Marshmallow Ghosts
re-emerge from the murk this October with another special Halloween
release presenting their first full-length album coupled with the
full-length feature film Corpse Reviver No. 2. They unveiled their first
preview from the film this week with the "The Hearse Song", a wary tale
that might make you think twice about answering the door. Trick or
treat!
Also,
the band debuted a new song "The Attic" which you can listen to on
their SoundCloud. Stay tuned for more creepy videos throughout the
Halloween season from Marshmallow Ghosts. In meantime, the Marshmallow
Ghosts S/T album and Corpse Reviver No. 2 DualDisc is currently
available and first 500 orders will receive a special Halloween coloring
book. Enter your coloring book into the Marshmallow Ghost contest and
have a shot at winning a box of prothetics and a bloody costume from the
film.

It’s late October. The air is crisp, and the scent of burning leaves
lingers. In the distance you hear a chainsaw followed by the shrieks of
teenage girls. An actor dressed as a deranged and bloody farmer stalks
the line, silently harassing those who pay him no mind. Girls cling to
their boyfriends crying, “I don't want to go first!” The mood
is electric. The annual ritual of the haunted house makes you feel like
you're 6 years old, trick or treating while your parents wait for you
on the sidewalk; 12 years old, going to your best friend’s costume
party; 16 years old, sneaking into a cemetery after dark.
Forget the ubiquitous “Thriller” and the generic heavy metal usually
associated with the holiday. The Marshmallow Ghosts' first full-length
self-titled album truly is the most fitting Halloween soundtrack. It's
spooky and it’s dark. Paradoxically, though, it’s light. It is a pop
album after all – and a particularly catchy one at that. "Hearse
Song" is a notable track with its melodic sing-along feel and dance
beat; as is "Trick." Its peculiar arrangement and creepy ambiance make
it an unlikely, but satisfying, pop song. Organs, fuzzy guitars and
piano chords swirl about crafty lyrics. The Marshmallow Ghosts know how
to set a tone. This album sounds, feels and virtually smells
like Halloween. While listening, you can almost taste the peanut butter
cups.
The CD release of The Marshmallow Ghosts will be accompanied by an album-length music video, Corpse Reviver No. 2.
With dialogue tying together the visually stunning individual video
clips, this isn’t “weird for the sake of weird” like the few album
length music videos that have been released in the past few years.Corpse Reviver’s
images perfectly complement the mischievous and ominously appealing
songs on The Marshmallow Ghosts. It’s clearly made by true horror movie
fanatics. This is the band’s third annual Halloween release & this
time around they are made up of Lady Lazarus, Dreamend, Hospital Ships,
Casket Girls & Graveface kingpins, Black Moth Super Rainbow. They
have every intention of continuing the tradition with their brand of
ageless Halloween nostalgia.
See you at Raven’s Grin Inn.
