Discussion Horrorpunk mixtape project for 2026

Announcing the r/horrorpunk 2026 Mixtape Project

One of the reasons this subreddit was founded was to discover new horrorpunk music. And this community has been great. You've shared your favorite classic tracks, new releases, and music from brand-new bands. Some of you have even shared music that you've written and recorded yourself. No matter what you've shared, it has all been great. Please keep that up.

Let's channel this energy into one playlist. When somebody asks what horrorpunk is, you should be able to point to this playlist and have them understand it.

So I'd like every user here to list artist and song title, which will be added to the list.

RULES

  • Please only submit one track per user.
  • Song submissions will be up until May 31.
  • I love the Misfits. You probably love the Misfits, too. But they seem like too obvious of a choice. So let's leave them out of the equation for the time being.
  • Just like the subreddit rules, no hate speech is allowed. Wanting to annihilate all of humanity is just good lyrics. Wanting to annihilate a specific group of people is bigotry. You know the difference.
  • The song has to exist on these streaming services, otherwise I literally can't add it to the playlist.
  • For bands and musicians: Your own music is allowed. Yes, I mean it. Self-promote. I want you to. But once again, your music has to be on a streaming service, otherwise I have no way of adding it.

Beyond that, there are no limitations on what music you can submit, as long as it falls within horrorpunk. Give me old favorites, new songs, or anything in between.

Stay spooky.

EDIT: Depending on what music is available on what platforms, different versions of the playlist may end up with different songs. I'll try to catalog those differences here, or in a different thread, once the playlist is finalized.

Audio Playlist Made From Recent Blitzkid Set List

3 Upvotes

I made a playlist of the latest setlist I could find from a Blitzkid concert to kind of get my wife more familiar with some of their stuff before we see them on the next tour. I know they'll be playing new stuff but that's only like 12 songs so we can count on at least half of these making it into the show. It's in order of what they played and is only missing the 2 oncore songs. Enjoy!

Discussion Making patches for people who have no artistic ability.

Post image
26 Upvotes

I'm working on a hoodie & I've been making patches for it by ordering dtf transfers of the logos that I want and can't buy from the band themselves. It's super easy to do. All you need is an iron, scissors, a yard of canvas, a piece of parchment paper & the dtf transfers. You iron on the transfer, let it cool, peel it off and then hit it again with the iron with parchment paper over it. Once they cool, I add on an adhesive backing that makes them iron on and cut them into the shape that I want. That's it really. Iron them on to your project and then stich around it. It'll be there forever. I made some for bands that I couldn't get due to not existing anymore, not having patches for sale or because I couldn't afford the real thing (a $3 Cancerslug patch is $17 shipped). I asked permission from bands that still exist or who have a member I still talk to. Everyone has been super cool about it. I just wanted to share because I'm sure others want some patches but don't know how to screen print too. It's not 100% diy but pretty close. I cut the Blitzkid bad but I'm happy with the rest. I thought screen printing was my only option. DTF transfers are crazy cheap. I swear by them now.

Discussion Wednesday 13 & Murderdolls

How are we feeling about these two? I personally really enjoy them.

I do prefer Wednesday’s solo stuff just because of how much more variety there are. He has a ton more albums but the two Murderdolls ones are crazy good as well.

Discussion Roky Erickson’s influence

13 Upvotes

What Roky Erickson taught me and what his influence meant to me:

Roky Erickson was the reason I got into a lot of music I listen to now. His music took me on a journey equal to a million miles. This journey started throwing me through the psychedelic sounds of the 60s, including those of folk and proto-punk likeness, with bands like The Weeds/Lollipop Shoppe, Jefferson Airplane, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Byrds, and of course, the one and only, 13th Floor Elevators.

Being 27 now, and looking back on my teen years, I was definitely met with malice for not liking a lot of popular music (like Rap, Pop, R&B) and I’ve learned to accept it even now, because Roky made me believe in myself.

His insightful mind and penchant for cryptic lyrics lead me to other artists in the horror punk, gothic rock, post-punk, new wave, and Darkwave circles. Through him I discovered the early chronicles of REM, Christian Death, the operatic greatness of Klaus Nomi, The Sound, and of course, those of fellow horror punk/rock similarities like 45 Grave, The Cramps, and Misfits.

It was because of this one person, whom I have never had the pleasure of meeting in this life, that I had such a journey of self-acceptance and hope to meet others who enjoy the different kinds of alternative as I do.

So I made this post, primarily to say, thank you, Roky. Just know your legacy continues, even through those of us who play music in our spare time.šŸ¤˜šŸ»šŸ–¤

New Blitzkid Album Announced and Pre-order Vinyl - MODERN HEL

27 Upvotes

Surprised no one posted this yet. The album art looks SICK. Any guesses as to what the pre-order vinyls will cost?

On July 11 at 12:00pm (EST), we will be opening the Gates to HEL and making a vinyl PREORDER of our upcoming new full-length album available in three unique robo-skins: 300 Alpha Chrome, 400 Beta Black, and 600 Gamma Silver.

Each edition within this inaugural run of 1300 units includes a metallic foil gatefold jacket (giving the artwork a reflective machine-like sheen), an exclusive silver ink on reflective CD knockout housed inside the gatefold, a 4ā€ round sticker & a hand-numbered canvas patch.

This approach was inspired by the film ā€œMetropolis,ā€ whose workers’ identities were reduced to numerical designations and wore numbered patches to signify their function within the city. Patches will be numbered 1 through 1300 by Argyle Goolsby and randomly issued.

A special limited edition double 10ā€ (4 side) version of the album in semi-transparent ā€œDelta Alloyā€ will also be available in a limited run of 100 units. This edition includes an alternative track-listing, double-sided mini poster, and the aforementioned CD, sticker & patch. Each album and its components are hand-assembled and housed in a contoured chrome-finished chassis.

To reduce shipping costs for our international customers, ACWNN Store will only accept orders from North America (United States, Canada, Mexico). For all other countries, preorders will be available through Ring Of Fire Records in Germany, launching the same campaign simultaneously through their online store.

Please note: due to the hand-assembled requirements of the special edition 10ā€ and the location of its materials in North America, that variant will only be available in North America.

Orders are estimated to ship the last week of September 2026, in conjunction with the album’s digital release date. Due to the nature of vinyl production, however, there is the possibility of some delay beyond this timeframe. We don’t expect any issues, but we’ll keep everyone updated on the progress either way over the coming weeks.

Preorder links below:

North American orders: www.acwnnstore.com (12:00pm EST)

All other countries: www.ringoffirerecords.limitedrun.com (18:00 CEST)
