AMAZON RATING: 5 Stars

"Welcome to the Horror Show" marks the third album by Anders Manga and is destined to become a staple in dark alternative music history. His debut, "One Up for the Dying", arrived in 2005 with a sound and style that was distinctly gothic, yet painted upon a canvas of electronic dance instrumentation and arrangements. Similar perhaps to the recent goth-friendly works of Gary Numan, DJs and scene journalists began referring to his work as 'gothtronica,' a label that seems to have stuck with him. His first single, "We Won't Stay Dead," became an international club hit; combining Anders' distinctive baritone fog with insistent thumping beats and fluttering fuzzy arpeggios, it was like a missing key between the estranged sub-genre siblings, goth and industrial. Early in 2006, Anders conjured up another full-length album, an amazing feat considering less than a year had passed since his arrival. His sophomore release, 'Left on An All-Time Low', not only expanded his following worldwide with favorites such as "Empire On the Sun", "Glamour" and "Bloodletting (On the Kiss)", but it also found a more organic niche between his electronic rhythms and his voice's Lestat-like countenance. With "Welcome to the Horror Show", Anders shows no signs of slowing down. Melodic vocals, driving beats and signature synth layers make this menacing third album a memorable one. While songs such as "Beautiful", "You Should Be Dead By Now", "Them" & "Residual Fear" will fill the dance floor or induce a pit, "The Shrine", "Here" and the title track will have you humming their melodies for days.
