Grave Robber is a horror punk band from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Now, Grave Robber isn't your average "horror punk" band they add in some metal influences for example (Curse of the Werewolf and Fill This Place With Blood which the opening notes and the song title is taken from the Vengeance Rising song of the same name) and even at times I can hear an Alice Cooper influence. So Grave Robber has a lot to offer. Now, a while back Grave Robber had a kick starter campaign and I contributed, this is why I'm able to hear to these new songs.
The first strong "Straight to Hell" is one of the best Grave Robber songs, definitely going to have to be a song they play live. It has very much an Earth A.D/Wolfs Blood era Misfits style going on. Think of songs like Death Comes ripping or Devil lock and that's the best way I can describe this song. Everything about this song rules. I will say this is one of the more abrasive and darker Grave Robber songs. The guitar had more of a metal type chugging at times kinda reminded me of Doyle's guitar sound during the Graves era of the Misfits.
Hunger haunts is a really great track and it even has a creepy organ part. This song is being used for a Canadian feed the children campaign you can check it out here: http://www.canadianfeedthechildren.ca/landing-pages/hunger-haunts. This song is a bit more upbeat but it's still a great Grave Robber track.
Beast of Busco is a really good simple straight up Punk rock song it kinda reminds me of the Ramones a bit. The song is about a gigantic snapping turtle in Indiana which they could never find. Great song and cool story.
The last song Mummator is shortest song on the whole E.P. It's Grave Robbers take on the theme song "Mummator & the Conquerors of the Cosmos" It's an awesome song and a good way to end off the E.P.
In conclusion get this E.P you will not be disappointed. It's Grave Robber it's Punk and it's awesome! Score: 9/10
