Crimson Spectre
CRIMSON SPECTRE, is a ghoul punk band from Greensboro, North Carolina. We started as a one-show only Misfits covers band for Halloween 1999. One year later, we re-formed to write original music which combines the horror punk aesthetic with a political perspective. While readily acknowledging our debt to such bands as the Misfits, Samhain, and the Accused, we in Crimson Spectre also align ourselves with a dissident aesthetic most visible, in this country, in the horror films of the past thirty years, where - to quote Lenin - the "Aesopian language" of zombies, cannibalism, chainsaw massacres, monster babies, demonic possession, and hockey-masked serial killers has provided allegorical embodiment for social critiques and political analyses otherwise considered too volatile for the pop-culture arena.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Would love to play in your basement, back yard, record store, community space, or venue. Please drop us a line if you can set up a show for us in your own.
