Blu Anxxiety Morbid Now Morbid Later LP

Straight from New York, macabre-obsessed ghouls BLU ANXXIETY return from their slumber to unleash Morbid Now Morbid Later upon the world, and just in time for the fall. Embracing a diverse range of goth subgenres while infusing the music with sharp political commentary, BLU ANXXIETY delves deep into the dark sounds of EBM, industrial, and goth rock, while retaining a deathrock backbone. Frontghoul Chi Dracula Orengo describes the band’s sound as “dark freestyle,” a unique perspective and ability to transform various musical influences into a cohesive goth aesthetic, from hip hop to Latin-type beats. You can hear ALIEN SEX FIEND as well as CHRISTIAN DEATH in their music—you might get the sense that if it’s dark, and you can dance to it, it’s in there somewhere. An eerily fun and complete album that pushes the boundaries of a genre that encompasses so much, yet no one dares to do it all at once.
