The Whip
Kamera Records
(Jungle, Cleopatra re-issues)

Bands: Blood and Roses, Slavedrive (former members of UK Decay, would quickly become Furyo after another namechange to Meat of Youth), Commercial Break (got to be someone fucking around!), Dave Vanian, Marc Almond and Andi Sexgang, Carcrash International and others. An Excellent Album. Be sure to get the original LP or the jungle 2CD reissue as Cleopatra axed a lot of the original content and put in their own bands.

Return of the Living Dead

TSOL, The Cramps, The Damned, The Tallboys, The Flesheaters, Jet Black Berries (formerly New Math), 45 Grave

The Classic punk rock horror movie features an amazing soundtrack from both sides of the pond. This movie staterd it all for a lot of punks and deathrockers, with the main characters being an aloof and mishmash group of punks, new wavers and morticians. Not to mention brain-eating zombies.

Let's Die
Doug Moody Productions 1985

Patrick Mata (Kommunity FK), Burning Image, Silver Chalice (with Rob Ritter and Paul Cutler of 45 Grave), Ill Repute, Theives Cross, Flower Leperds, and more.

Kommunity FK/Patrick Mata gets the title track to this compilation, Patrick Mata's "Let's Die" is an amazingly good punk song screaming about how we are actively destroying ourselves every day. With cover art by Mad Marc Rude (also Misfits album illustrator) it's at first hard to believe that this album is extremely collectable. But the Mystic Records series has become very sought after, including the infamous "Return to Slimey Valley" compilation.
Silver Chalice was a project both before and after 45 Grave by Rob Ritter and Paul Cutler, with other punk friend Geza X from (...). Silver Chalice had a short LP and not much else. They were a more glammy punk band with a dark image and sound. Very good.
Burning Image was an obscure San Francisco band that played a deathrock/metal hybrid along the lines of the superheroines, with a gloomy edge, and fast guitar licks.

Hell Comes to Your House

Super Heroines, Social Distortion, Mau Maus, 100 Flowers, Christian Death, 45 Grave, and more. Recently re-issued on CD and LP by Time-Bomb (who also carry great Social Distortion Re-issues). This is a classic Punk rock compilation featuring an equal split of deathrock and punk bands from the early LA punk scene on the infamous Bemis Brain records.
