The new single "I Believe In Halloween," by my band Afflicted By Design is finally available at iTunes, Spotify,Google Play, AmazonMP3, Rdio & Deezer this week. "Isn't it a little late for Halloween," you're asking? Yeah, well, the song was finished 2 weeks ago and got held up in some red tape. Like "Everyday Is Halloween" by Ministry, this isn't a seasonal Halloween song. It's an anthem for people that celebrate the night, that are out of the ordinary, that are a little bit left of center, that worship the dark. For those of us that everyday is Halloween.
"I Believe In Halloween" is a cover of the song by The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black; an amazing band from NYC that I fell in love with ages ago and whose songs and performances have influenced and inspired me. Every now and again I plan on releasing more covers of songs by bands that have either inspired or influenced me.
I hope you take some time to check it and if you like my version take the time to check out the original. Actually, listen to the original even if you don't like my version. TVHOKB is pretty badass!
