Ghoulunatics  


Ghoulunatics are a bit of an oddity -- first, their strange name might conjur images of a Rob Zombie- style horror outfit, rather than death metal. Secondly, when one sees "death metal" and "Quebec" in the same sentence, the expectation is the sort of hyperactive, ferociously technical death metal of Kataklysm or Cryptopsy or any of several other respected death metal bands from that region, and these guys are on the other end of the spectrum. So, putting aside any preconceived notions that one might have of this band, the fact is that Ghoulunatics is a pretty interesting groove-infused death metal band, with song structures and tempos a bit more straightforward than traditional death metal, verging on the death rock style that Entombed made famous a few years ago (though these guys really don't sound much like Entombed). At times the songs tend to run together, as there isn't a lot of variety from song to song, but the groove aspect of the band is a welcome touch. Not the most essential band of all time, but an enjoyable one.

Following the decision of vocalist Pat Mireault to step down from the band in late 2007, Ghoulunatics has decided to retire, with a few farewell gigs in 2008 being the last performances by the group.
