Early White Zombie member Tom Five left that group and formed Angel Rot around 1988. Somehow, I didn't realize this or that Fuck You Records was a short lived imprint by the Melvins King Buzzo who also issued singles by Wool and Plainfield in 1992-3.
I picked up this single because it looked like something I would like and really knew nothing about the band in 1992 even if I was a huge fan of the early White Zombie albums when they were a downtown NYC noise rock band and not the major label modern metal band they evolved into. Somehow the first single in 1990 didn't cross my fingertips. Angel Rot were more along the lines of that sludgy stuff I couldn't get enough of. There was a "horror" theme and the Bee Gee's cover here reworked the lyric to that effect. I can't find any live clips from that era but Tom Five kept it going at least a decade finally getting a full album out in 1999 on Man's Ruin.
Good single for genre and scene.
