Surprisingly only the third live
album, this live recording combines back-to-back 2011 performances, from Devil's Night at Starland Ballroom in
' hometown of Sayreville, New Jersey, and Halloween night at B.B. King's in Times Square, N.Y.C. From the opening thunderclaps and audience chants of "Jerry! Jerry!," it's abundantly clear that
features a post-
group. With guitarist
(
) and drummer
), bassist/frontman
sticks to delivering quick and dirty songs from that year's
, along with a few cult songs from when
was the frontman, such as the thrash-styled "Helena" and the closing anthem "Saturday Night." Being a late October performance, the time when
thrive most, this is spirited and festive -- so much so that the audience seems unbothered by the omission of any classic-era songs that involved onetime centerpiece
. Even if the material stems mainly from a lackluster late-period record,
seems more committed to yelling it out on-stage than he did in a sterile studio setting, and since they haven't changed up their subject matter from the early days, songs like "Land of the Dead," "Curse of the Mummy's Hand," "Dig Up Her Bones," "Dark Shadows," and "Cold in Hell" fit the bill. It's a treat to hear their horror punk rendition of "Science Fiction/Double Feature" from Rocky Horror Picture Show, and at the very least, they don't appear to be merely going through the motions. ~ Jason Lymangrover
