Fulci – Gore Life: A Video Breakdown
Zomb-eatdown.
Lucio Fulci was the Italian director/writer behind such horror films as Zombi 2 and The Beyond. It only makes sense that there’s a slamtastic, goreriffic band would name themselves after a man who put this bit of gruesomeness in a movie. The band Fulci, also from Italy, takes their name from “The Godfather Of Gore” and focuses their lyrical content on zombies and violence. Not exactly breaking new ground, to be sure, but as the old saying goes, “If you’re going to be dumb, be dumb to the best of your ability.” At least, that should be an old saying. Regardless, Fulci have bestowed upon us their new music for the song “Gore Life” via the Slamwise Gamgees from Slam Worldwide. Be sure to have some Wet-Naps ready.
