”Hell Night is another blast of D-beat thrash and horror madness bonanza. Celebrating one of the lesser-known horror movie gems of the early 80’s. A horror metal to the pedal, no holds barred joyride into the nearest mosh pit!”
// F.K.Ü.
Die Dekade von 1981-1989 brachte über 200 Slasher Filme mit sich.
Die schwedische Thrash Metal Band F.K.Ü. zollt dem ultimativen Jahr des Slasher Movie Genres, 1981, in Form ihres neuen Albums Tribut.
Also spult die VHS Kassetten zurück, hier kommt:
03.11. F.K.Ü. – "1981" (Despotz Records/Cargo)
Slam 9.5/10: "Die Musik ist wie erwartet hochwertiger Thrash Metal, mitreißend und energiegeladen, dazu kommt das humorvolle Konzept, denn abgesehen vom Opener ist jeder Songtitel ein kultiger (Horror-) Film aus dem Jahr 1981. Sympathische Idee und makellose Umsetzung lassen diese Platte zu einem Genuss für Freunde von Horror-Thrash als auch der nostalgisch verklärten Filmkultur der beginnenden 1980er werden."
Stormbringer.at 5/5: "Genau so soll Thrash anno 2017 klingen"
Legacy 12/15: "Alles in allem ergibt „1981“ eine wahre Thrash-Orgie, die zu keiner Sekunde langweilt und sich mit unabdingbarer Härte aus den Boxen schraubt. Moshoholic-Core für die ganz Verrückten unter uns!"
Starkstrom: "…14 Metal Bretter, die mit zum Besten gehören, das ich seit längerem in diesem Genre gehört habe. … Was für eine Abfahrt."
Virus 8/10: "Horrorfans kommen dabei schon mal vollends auf ihre Kosten und auch MEtalheads dürften ob der fetten Produktion begeistert sein."
Rock Hard: "Wer auf (alte) Anthrax, S.O.D., Nuclear Assault, Municipal Waste, Exodus oder Dr. Living Dead! steht, ist hier an der richtigen Adresse."
Metal Hammer: "Spaß auf gleich drei Ebenen: Einerseits ruft man sich sofort die besungenen Klassiker und deren ikonische Filmplakate vor Augen; andererseits amüsiert man sich zusätzlich über die absurden deutschen Titel; und zu guter Letzt macht der kernige, Rock’n’Roll- und Punk-beeinflusste Thrash Metal dank erdigem, aber sauberem Sound ordentlich Laune, wenn sich die absolute Hochstimmung…"
Deaf Forever: "…lupenreiner Old-Shool-Thrash… das Songmaterial weiß zu gefallen…"
EMP: "Die Schweden wüten wie Berserker auf ihrem neuen Album. Der musikalisch Old School Mix aus Evil Invaders, ganz frühen Anthrax, einem minimalen Prozentsatz S.O.D., etwas Exodus sowie D.R.I. zu „4 of a kind“-Zeiten fackelt einem die Ohren ab."

Inspired by 80’s thrash and horror movies and of course, old issues of Metal Forces and cheap beer, the mighty horror metal moshing machine F.K.Ü. are working on a new album called "1981". The band decided to pay a special tribute to the year 1981, also known as the ultimate year of the slasher movie genre. In other words, the year that delivered a great deal of slashers that is considered the genres best, even today.
The first single, "Nightmares in a Damaged Brain", will be released through Despotz Records September 22nd.
”Nightmares in a Damaged Brain is a straight to the point thrasher that pretty much sums up the vibe we were going for on this album. D-beat thrash and horror madness galore!”// F.K.Ü.
The 1981 album is already rumoured to be a horror experience on the same level as those old school slasher classics. So pop the popcorn, call for pizza and bring your friends. This twisted and demented world of knife wielding maniacs has only just started. Let the body count begin!
The idea with the album, inspired by Corpse Mania, Night School as well as the timeless classics Halloween II and Friday the 13th Part 2 is to take the listener back to the old days. Back when you and your friends went to the local video store to rent video cassettes and weren’t able to download your movies from the internet.
On top of this F.K.Ü. celebrate 30 years as a band this year, so the connection to the eighties is going to be very strong and celebrated all through this album campaign.
After signing a record deal with the Swedish record label Despotz Records, Larry, Pete, Pat and Emp entered The Overlook Studio in Gävle. “1981” is produced by F.K.Ü., recorded by William Blackmon, mixed by Lawrence Mackrory & Daniel Bergstrand at Dugout Productions, mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Obey Mastering and with astonishing artwork by Tom Hodge - The Dude Designs.
Band History
Four young men started F.K.Ü. back in 1987 to pay tribute to their two main interests; horror movies from the 1980´s and thrash metal. But after just a handful of rehearsals, the band fell into a hiatus.
Ten years later, in 1997 a decision was made to give it another try and bring the monster back to life. The overwhelming response of the 20-song demo “Beware of the Evil Underwear” that was recorded in 1998, resulted in the album “Metal Moshing Mad”. This 22-track mosher showed the world that it is possible to have a good, friendly, but still violent time in the mosh pit. Classics like "Maniac", "Halloween", "Friday the 13th", "Hellraiser" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was covered on this epic horror themed album.
In 2004, the world was in desperate need for another dose of some patented Horror Thrash Metal signed F.K.Ü. and the album “Sometimes They Come Back… To Mosh” was released. The inspiration was once again from the thrash and horror movies of the 1980´s. Movies covered on this album are “Christine”, “Shockwaves”, “C.H.U.D”, “Maniac Cop”, “Motel Hell” and “The Fog”.
After a bunch of awesome shows, including a short but sweet west coast US tour, F.K.Ü. went back into the studio to make album number three. Come the summer of 2009 and the release of “Where Moshers Dwell”. An album filled with prime neck breaking, horror-inspired, sing-along thrash madness. Movies covered on the album are “Dead and Buried”, “The Return of The Living Dead”, “Creepshow”, “The Toolbox Murders”, “The Town That Dreaded Sundown”, and “The Exorcist”.
In 2010 and 2011 F.K.Ü. toured Sweden extensively and played at all major Swedish festivals such as Sweden Rock Festival, Metaltown, Getaway Rock Festival and House of Metal, to name a few. In 2013 the band returned with another blistering slab of their patented horror metal. The fourth album titled “4: Rise of the Mosh Mongers” released by Napalm Records sees F.K.Ü. fire on all 4 cylinders. Produced and mixed by the bands singer Larry Lethal, the album contains 17 tracks of pure thrashing bliss. Movies covered on the album are “Event Horizon”, “The Amityville Horror”, “Madman”, “Terror Train”, “Near Dark”, “The Boogey Man” and “Videodrome”.
