King Dude – Sex (2016)

September 7, 2022

I enjoyed the previous King Dude record heavily (if you mean Love then that was several albums back – Ed). It seemed to blend the mystique of the neofolk world with that of a more Type O Negative sensibility, if you get what I mean. Sadly, on Sex, King’s stripped down occult swagger is replaced instead with fairly basic rock and roll. There is still a Satanic feel to it, and your Dude here still croons like Pete Steele, but the full band affair has a country and western edge to it as well. All in all, its just not for me.
