New Years Day + One = The Damned

 

Day late, but it's still poignant. Holy shit - we made it to 2025!!!

Watch:

I saw this pop up on my local Regal's calendar and went from thinking I'd never heard of it to swearing I had posted the trailer on here previously. Not the case, but now that this is on my radar, I'm kind of dying to see it.

I feel like the release timing for this one was perfectly staged - people who saw Nosteratu and want more historical Horror can plop their arse in the theatre again and see what looks like a wicked combination of The Witch and Cold Skin.

Disappears Cover U2 For AV Club

Disappears cover U2

I really dig Disappears. And I've always really liked New Years Day. This then, is a great combination in my book.

The band really nails it. Notice how they say they don't so much turn it into one of their own as get traditional with it, but as traditional as it is, I would argue that they add some of that smoky, mysterious flavor that makes Disappears' music so unique and compelling.
