Fearless Undead Machines

As big a personality as metal ever produced (and it’s spawned some doozies), singer/drummer King Fowley isn’t great at either of his crafts but he more than makes up for it through his sheer passion for what is good in life: thrash metal and horror movies. Considered their masterpiece, the Romero-riffing Fearless Undead Machines was Fowley and his rotating band’s third attempt at transferring the gore from the silver screen to the silver disc. They succeeded wildly. He perfectly tells grotesque stories of the ravenous dead in his Peter Steele-style howl over chainsaw-sharp guitar leads on cadaverous classics like the title track and “Night of the Deceased.”
