ALBUM REVIEW: The Erotics “Destined to Damnation”

Review by Jesse Skinner.

Once the opening riffs commence and the first track starts to take off, it’s very difficult not to turn this up to 11. The Erotics “Destined to Damnation” is a horror/rock and roll hybrid with anthem-type hooks and electrifying riffs. Perfect soundtrack for the frightful time of year, your local strip clubs, or just blaring it to irritate the neighborhood. With catchy riffs and lyrics, “Destined to Damnation” spreads across the musical fabric of heavy metal, punk, and rock and roll. The Erotics are not only veterans and established themselves on the local music scene, but are also no strangers to dirty rock and roll releases.

A song highlight for “Destined to Damnation” is a track called “Bon Amputee. This track sticks out for its unique approach. Comparable to a slow dance song for the starving cannibal, “Bon Amputee” will have you in the mood for some morbid, late night finger foods.

The Erotics will be appearing at the Yin Yang Festival on October 26 at the Saratoga Springs City Center. They will also be performing alongside the band Spread Eagle on November 9 at Empire Underground in Albany NY.
