Hello my fellow Hive headbangers!
It's been a while since I've done one of these so I figured what better time than my favourite holiday...HALLOWEEN!
Here is my spooky selection of bangers to get you in to the spirit!
1. Bloody Hammers - Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
First up is the US gothic hard rockers, Bloody Hammers. They are a band that I've enjoyed for a few years now due to their simple but catchy riffs, refreshing attitude of not taking themselves too seriously and ability to have fun with their imagery/lyrics. This track comes from their 2019 offering titled 'The Summoning'.

2. Cathedral - Hopkins (Witchfinder General)
Next up is legendary doom metal band Cathedral from my own country of England. This song is a homage to the 60's film 'The Witchfinder General', which is based on a real English witch hunter named Matthew Hopkins. Hopkins was active between 1644-1647 and presided over more accusations of witchcraft than any other person in English history.

3. Ghost - Hunter's Moon
Lastly, one of my favourite bands of recent years...GHOST! The Swedish grammy winning collective headed by songwriter and vocalist Tobias Forge have managed to transcend any one particular style while never failing to blow my mind with the quality of their songwriting. Hunter's Moon came from their most recent album IMPERA and also featured on the soundtrack to the movie 'Halloween Kills'.

Hope you all enjoy tracks and let me know what you think of them. I'll be back with my usual picks for my top albums of the year post in December.
Have a good Halloween/Samhain!

Hallowed by thy name by Iron Maiden should be here.
That's not a bad shout but I've been planning to do a post about Iron Maiden for a while. One day I'll get it done.
Nice tunes man, I must commend your effort in bringing about this beautiful songs, thanks for sharing with us.
No problem man! Glad you enjoyed them.
Excellent Halloween edition! Def can get down with Ghost.. and a first time hearing Bloody Hammers and Cathedral.. Bloody Hammers has that old school/classic metal vibe.. nice! 😃
Awesome choices.. looking forward to your next post. 🤘
Cheers dude! Ghost are a bit of a marmite band, people seem to love them or hate them with no middle ground.
Cool, you should check out some more Cathedral. They are one of my favourite old school doom bands, along with Candlemass.
Have an awesome week!
