Shevy's Review:  If you're already a fan of psychobilly, the chances are pretty good that you've already heard this.  For everybody else, this is required listening and mandatory for everybody's psychobilly collection.  Hellbound, the debut album from those Danish psychobilly hounds that make up Nekromantix, is packed full of fantastic classic material like "Hellbound", "Spiders Attacking Manhattan", "Down In The Swamp", and "Electric Chair".  While not quite as magnificent as their follow-up, "Curse Of The Coffin", "Hellbound" is a highly energetic release with a furious, raw psychobilly sound of distinct bass, gravel-laced vocals, spacey punk guitars, but topped off with a fairly standard drumming effort.  This ain't yo mamma's Tiger Army album.
Shevy's Rating:  B+
