#THISWEEK // Our Top Ten Stories — 22 September 2017

In the run to October 31st, horror lingers in the air. This missed list has the brown note of terror wafting through it, though I’ll be buggered if I know why. Metalheads and Halloween go together like Michael Kiske and Helloween, which goes together like chicken and waffles. This is a tortured metaphor – if only you could envision its gory entrails as I add another simile to it! My God man, leave it be! It’s already dead! Anyway, here’s what you may have missed this week:

1. Horrible Histories, Starring Dani Filth

The Witchmaster General gives us all a proper Victorian-era history lesson…IN HORROR!

2. Circa Survive Do a Half Circle

4. Benji Webbe Ain’t Been Nicking In Ages

It’s supposed to be a Sisters of Mercy reference, but whatever.
