As the title indicates, this is the third instalment of Alien Sex Fiend albums. The label on the box says, “Exhumed from the vaults!” Yes, it’s a great treat for any Alien Sex Fiend enthusiasts, or anyone into dark goth rock. This music is clearly not for everyone, it takes a very specific taste to truly understand and appreciate a creation like Alien Sex Fiend.
There are four albums included in this set. Namely, Nocturnal Emissions, Information Overload, Death Trip, Possessed. There is also a disc with alternative mixes, and the Re-Possessed EP from 2019. The albums include several bonus tracks, many of which were never before released. It’s a true collection of just about all you ever wanted to have from Alien Sex Fiend. And it’s all in one place!
The music here takes you on a wild ride, it’s a death trip, it’s nocturnal, and you feel possessed by the overload of dark tunes! At the same time, Alien Sex Fiend are incredibly creative and intense unit. The dark overtones, or just pure evil, creates a very eclectic mood. It takes your head somewhere else, away from 9 to 5, away from everything. It fills the void, and it makes you feel great!
Once again, Cherry Red Records, comes through with a winner! This set is explosive, and extremely well put together. The accompanying booklet is very informative, and rich in visuals. The band was obviously involved, and nothing is out of place here. Grab it, play it, and feel zombified!
