Might have material soon, might not, it's up in the air at the moment. I'd like to have someone lined up anyways.
Hit the thread or PM, whatever's clever.
Horrorcore was a term coined by Russell Simmons. He referred to horrorcore as being "hardcore rap with some horror movie themes". Russell Simmons tried to experiment with this thought, thus creating The Flatlinerz.
Though some Horrorcore rappers become widely known (see Insane Clown Posse), most Horrorcore record labels, acts, and artists rarely sell over a few hundred records (exception: Psychopathic Records). It has a lot to do with the fact that many people may be appalled by the lyrics, and that the topics being rapped about are still taboo (e.g murder, necrophilia). Alternatively, it could be suggested that such heavy-handed lyrics with lyrics that are a mix of serious and humorous, or of strongly fictitious nature, such as the occult, satanism, and so on. In this case, low sales could be blamed on a lack of promotion and an overall amateurish presentation which would not be enough to hold the attention of a mature audience.
