PRAYER LINE has returned with a 6 song EP titled “Thrill Me, Lick Me, Fuck Me, Kill Me”. This would serve as the follow-up to our self-released debut album “ Drink The Blood” which was released in April of 2019. This collection of crossover thrash songs were influenced by bands like Motorhead and Municipal Waste. Lyrically, we drew inspiration from pop culture relics such as The Thing, Night of the Creeps and The Exorcist. The music was produced and recorded by Dave Chale at Deadbird Studios.
The album is streaming now on Spotify, Apple Music and all other streaming platforms. It is also available on translucent green vinyl at our Bandcamp page. https://prayerline.bandcamp.com/album/thrill-me-lick-me-fuck-me-kill-me
LEO Weekly had this to say about our new record: https://www.leoweekly.com/2021/07/album-reviews-new-music-prayer-line-yons/
Horror punk mutants Prayer Line know how to have a good time, and it’s wholly on their own terms. The music here continues the nightmare metal of their earlier releases, amplified by virtually every conceivable standard. Vocalist/bassist Jake Hellman leans hard into his inspirations, channeling the visceral growl of Rob Zombie with the rock and roll strut of Gene Simmons.
To wit, the cover features a long tongue out, hued in deep green and red tones, a fitting image that seems to capture Hellman’s turn at the microphone, devil horns up as he screeches his Satanic Panic-infused drawl into the mic. Phil Olympia, who shares vocal duties and rounds out the guitar, returns to form with his own thrash punk-influenced, southern-fried delivery, half-sung and half-hollered. In both cases, the lyrics are centered on the aforementioned horror, celebrating with heinous glee.
From a compositional standpoint, the music on Thrill Me, Lick Me, Fuck Me, Kill Me builds on their previous oeuvre, now emphasizing thick guitars and stacked lead harmony lines. Listen close, and you can hear the slick pinch harmonics of guitarist Jake Miller, as he leans into the schlock and awe of the project.
Drummer Trent Combs rounds out the lineup wonderfully, using double kick drum theatrics to propel these tracks in a way that guarantees you’ll have a bangover. This is a catchy album, with plenty of straightforward hooks and the kind of chug-chug parts that would make Dave Mustaine blush.
