The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Wednesday 10th August


It is all gravy this week as I am enjoying a week off work, mainly in order to do some much needed admin on this blog as it is kind of collapsing behind the scenes. For one, my custom domain rottingzombie.co.uk is currently not working and so I've had to revert back to my default blogspot address. That means lots and lots of broken links. I've been meaning to put more time into cleaning up my old posts and fixing the damn broken links anyway. Here's hoping to winning the lottery so I can do my blog full time! Onto the news.

2D action RPG The Tarnishing of Juxtia launched on Steam on July 26th last month. This side scrolling Souls-like action game did look tempting, though I turned down a review copy as my PC really isn't designed with gaming in mind. Check out the launch trailer. In the game 'you're tasked with defeating the Shadow God Drelium of Crescentpeak...a mysterious, alien realm filled with strange machinery and occult magic.'


Post-punk artist Daniel Ouellette has released his new full length EP, El Salon (A Happy Home Is A Haunted Home). This is a concept album 'that sings of the pleasure and difficulties of life within the setting of a haunted house...Daniel will sing to you in Spanish about a werewolf, in English about a Ouija board, in Portuguese about a haunted house and in French about bats at Christmas time.' This was released on July 7th on Meanie Jeannie Records.


Wine Creek is now available on VOD from Bayview Entertainment. In this one, a group of bank robbers discover a isolated cabin in the woods that is owned by a family 'hiding the secrets of a centuries-old vampire.'


Finally for today, Jared Masters' (Ballet of Blood) indie film Roller Junkies! is now available On Demand, DVD and Home Video. It can be rented/brought on Amazon Prime Video, and limited edition hand-signed and numbered VHS copies can be purchased on eBay (while stocks last). The film is a mockumentary about the death of a girl who had moved to L.A for a new start, and ends up getting taken in by a roller girl gang called the Neons.
