A dark rock band that carved out its own unsettling corner of the early 90s metal scene.
For their particular flavor of horror metal, try 'Ozzy' or 'That Girl'. Both songs explore horror imagery with straightforward musical force.
Tales of Terror's music carried a raw, unsettling quality that didn't fit neatly into mainstream metal. Songs like 'Skate Or Bate' and 'Possession' drew accusations of occultism from some listeners while others appreciated their commitment to horror themes. Their catalog presents a specific kind of dark rock that found its audience without widespread commercial success.
The band formed in 1988 with Jason Tucker on vocals and Simon Crowhurst on guitar. They released three albums between 1991 and 1995, starting with 'Whispers from the Grave' and ending with 'Nocturnal Emissions'. The lineup maintained a consistent sound through their releases with bassist Paul Butcher and drummer Mark Graves.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
