Zombie Girl - Blood, Brains And Rock n Roll(2007)

Established in 2006 experienced Canadian artist and designer Renee Cooper-Komor is the voice, body and spirit behind the ZOMBIE GIRL concept. Her mystical magnetism quickly attracted Sebastian R. Komor away from his natal Norway into her graveyard and took her no time at all to mutate him into the “zombie-fied” male behind the music and most of the lyrics of the project. Its also nice to know that they don't take themselves too seriously.


Jesus Was A Zombie is evidence for that, the title says it all. With its funky guitars, keys and seductive vocals that are present through most of the double cd album and the zombie creation's take on the resurrection of Jesus it definitely makes it a fun song.
The Darkness has a similar thing going on but Seb has some vocals in it too which works really well in contrast to Renee's sexy vocal style. the same can be said for Living Dead Super Stars but with added samples of a crowd making it sound like there performing in front of a live audience.


The more danceable tracks on the album include Go Zombie which is one of my favourites. It starts off with advice on how to kill a zombie, ya know, just in case, and just like a zombie virus its very catchy. I wouldn't complain at hearing it in a club or a themed night out. Same can be said for Creepy Crawler(album version) which also makes it another favourite of mine, even with its darker feel to it but I think that's what makes me like it so much and wish it was longer. Elsie is another good danceable track with a hint of 80's thrown in for good measure but works in favour of Renee's vocals and is a fun track with a kinky side to it. 
There's also the Halloween element to the album with pieces like dance of the headless corpse and symphony of the living dead parts i and ii which would be perfect mood setters for Halloween parties or such themed events.


Overall the double CD release isn't a bad mixture of dance, rock and creepy Halloween esque music but it could have been more, not that its bad at all! The songs would be better as part of a play list instead of hearing them all together. However I love the seductiveness of Renee's vocals and Seb's composition works really well for them and you can tell they had fun writing this album.
