Hallowe’en on a Wednesday–what a rip-off.

Oh well, I did the dress-up thing on the weekend (next year I have to pick a more recognizable costume–try explaining who Jesse Custer is all night). As for tonight, after taking a walk around the neighbourhood to see what the Riverdale ghouls are up to (there’s actually a house nearby that went all out with a full stage production, called Halloween Idol), I’m spending the night in with some good ol’ fashion spooky tunes.

That said, you don’t get much more ghoulish than Calgary rockers Forbidden Dimension, and their latest riff-rockin’, face meltin’ release, A Cool Sound Out of Hell, is the perfect soundtrack to any Halloween themed hootenanny.

Released by the good folks at Saved By Vinyl (complete with digital download codes for the tech savvy), there’s just no beating the balls to the wall, spook-themed rock about werewolves, haunted houses and generally ghostly subjects that Forbidden Dimension does so well.

So, whether you’re setting the tone for a fist-pumping costume party or just riffing in a leaky basement apartment (ie, me), throw on the following tid-bit from A Cool Sound Outta Hell and let out your demon.
