New Music From Wolfmen Of Mars

By Tim Murr

Boston MA’s instrumental horror synth rock masters, Wolfmen of Mars, have had a hell of a year for releases. Back in May we got the fantastic Gamisu (which is now available on transparent green vinyl). Then in July they released a sick split album with The Mangled Dead. Now just in time for Halloween comes the six track witchy psych-out ass shaker, The Witch, The Goat, and The Malevolent Spirit. Inspired by the synth sounds from 1970s and 1980s horror films, the band mixes that influence with heavy grooves.

Wolfmen of Mars make infectious and exciting albums and the band seems to get better with every release. If that weren’t enough to pique your interest, they always have fantastic album covers.

Although their music is perfect for Halloween, don’t mistake them for a novelty act or something you only dust off in October. Wolfmen’s music enhances road trips, commutes, walks in the park, children’s birthday parties, funerals, booty calls, and music therapy sessions for crazy people.

You can download The Witch, The Goat, and the Malevolent Spirit from Bandcamp right now and name your own price. The cover art by Devon Whitehead looks like a cross between an illustration from an old book on the occult and a heavy metal album.

While you’re at it, do yourself a favor and check out all the past releases from Wolfmen Of Mars and get your supernatural party on.

You can also find the band on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and through Poisoned Mind Records.
