• O C T. XXX. • Horrific Child — “Frayeur / Angoisse” (excerpt)


Originally from the 1976 Horrific Child album L'étrange Monsieur Whinster, excerpt version from the 1999 re-release of Les Maledictus Sound's self-titled album.

THIS IS FUCKING ESSENTIAL HALLOWEEN MUSIC.

The twisted brainchild of Jean-Pierre Massiera (previously of Les Maledictus Sound), this amazing avant-psych meets imaginary-horror-film-soundtrack album is quite possibly my all-time favorite thing to play during spooky season. Every time I hear it, it makes me want to buy a run down old mansion, turn it into a haunted house, and blare this from it 24/7. Yes, it's that 'weenworthy.

Also, just feast your eyes in awe on a closer look at this batshit insane cover art:



A conquistador with an afro-laden hatchetfish for a head holding a skull with a lizard, spiders, a severed finger, and all sorts of other wacky shit in the background? There is just no arguing with how awesome that is.

  1. Oh yeah, this is good. This would go on my haunted house soundtrack. And that is some crazy cover art. I kind of want to have a poster of it.
