Review of Life Is a Grave & I Dig It!

Legendary psychobilly band Nekromantix is back, but after a couple of years out of the game, it seems like they’re still flogging the same dead horse. Main man Nekroman is once again behind the washtub bass but has replaced his backup band with some rockabilly hacks, and reduces his lyrics even more, dealing with—you guessed it—ghouls and goblins. In fact, his two ringers actually outdo him here as his vocals are so laid back, it sounds like he’s sleeping. This doesn’t even come close to the sense of pandemonium of forefathers the Meteors, so even diehard psychobillies will have a hard time getting through this.
