[edit] Lyrical Themes

Frightmare's lyrics are influenced by slasher films of the 1970s and 1980s, which Maniac Neil is a particular fan of. Nearly all of the songs are based on a horror film, and the band use samples from either the movie or the trailer as intros.

[edit] Artwork

The cover artwork was drawn by Jake, the artist responsible for the Tales From Uranus comics, who has also drawn artwork for Ghoul and Gorerotted, as well as for Razorback Records[1]
