But the blood ran thick and eyeballs were exposed to some of the most ridiculous and nasty images ever committed to film. VHS is a tribute to the first time you saw Jason hit an unsuspecting girl into a tree, the first time Freddy cracked a one liner, or the first time you saw a gut munched in graphic detail. This is a tribute to 80's horror, clamshells and all! If you took old school death metal, punk simplicity, and a dose of 80's hair metal and thrash, threw it in a blender the resulting black goo would be the sound of VHS. It'll stick to your teeth and probably rot your insides but if you are an old school metal fan you'll love every second of it. Lyrically VHS is like browsing a video store in the late 80's. Inspiration is drawn from the classics but also some lesser known gems like Burial Ground, Nightmare Beach and Rats: Night of Terror. Succinct and bloody, the lyrics are like a well done gore scene but not without a sense of humor. This is a tribute to horror but not without poking a little fun at it. Fast, catchy and bloody, that is VHS at its core. We are coming for you and we will not stop until the screaming stops. You have been warned! "We wrote the "Lenzi" album in a pretty different way than almost all of our other music. We tend to always write shorter songs but thought it would be cool write something a bit more epic and sprawling. So that's one way the songs are different but the really cool thing about these two long songs was that the drums were written and recorded first. Andy sat down and wrote the drums and keyboards and we went from there. It's a unique approach and it made me come at the songs from a different angle while still trying to make them sound like VHS. Did the world need a 9 minute song about Make Them Die Slowly and a 10 minute song about Nightmare City? We obviously say yes and hopefully you do as well."
