Deceased/October 31 founder and front man King Fowley has launched his own column entitled "Shrieks from the Hearse". The monthly column will be featured in Maximum Metal Magazine, which launched its first issue this month.
Always the stoic historian, King Fowley founded his Virginia death-thrash hybrid Deceased in 1985 and was the very first band to be signed by Relapse Records. He formed true metal stalwarts October 31 in 1995 and has ran his own labels and movie screenings. Fowley's expansive collection of metal and pop culture memorabilia dates back to his childhood. Always the media enthusiast, Fowley's love for horror, metal and rock and roll is highly touted by his colleagues and fans.
With the launch of "Shrieks from the Hearse", Fowley will introduce readers to obscure metal releases from the 70s, 80s and 90s on a format that pays homage to "Tales from the Crypt" and "Vault of Horror". His first column can be read online or downloaded for free as a PDF here:
