Here we have the sophomore effort from San Jose, California emcee Chuckklez. Emerging on Halloween of 2018 with the full-length debut A Mind of Evilness, he would later sign to Lyrikal Snuff Productionz & I even got to meet him in person at Fright Fest a couple years back. For his official LSP debut however, he’s tapping in with DJ Ill Sprite to produce Horrors from the Unstable in it’s entirety & putting it out on Friday the 13th to coincide with labelmate Mikahl Lawless’ own sophomore effort The Snuff Gremlin.
After the intro, the first song “Welcome to the Carnevil” is a grim trap opener giving y’all a glimpse of the horror show whereas “The Eater of Worlds” further emphasizes a heinous atmosphere instrumentally making people’s blood curl with the sickness. “Bloody Chainsaw” gives me a bombastic trap vibe to the beat likening himself to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre antagonist Leatherface just before “I See Dead People” featuring Razakel finds the 2 unable to get the images of corpses out their heads.
“A Scary Story” keeps it going by admitting that the sins of his life feel like they were ripped right out of a horror flick surrounded by hatred & vengeance while “Don’t Sleep” heinously talks about everyone looking at a bastard of 100 maniacs promising to reveal who the real face of horror is. “Furious & Dangerous” has some cool Memphis undertones simultaneously experiencing feelings of both fury & peril, but then “Gore Hounds” featuring Doc Gruesome & Donnie Menace goes trap metal comparing themselves to vicious dogs.
Sinizter joins Chuckklez on “Let the Bodies Burn” screaming over trap production that he wants to see all y’all go up in flames after throwing a molotov while “Murder All the Time” pulls from trap metal once again talking about going on killing sprees. “The Last Laugh” is this organ-trap hybrid flexing the very thing that he gets in the end while “Darker Side” featuring Kung Fu Vampire finds the 2 talking about how they’ll never see it coming when the darker sides of themselves get reintroduced.
“Going Mental” angrily boasts that he’ll murder any instrumental that comes his way while the bass-heavy “Possessed Mode” featuring Bloody Ruckus talks about being possessed by demons. “Crime Scene” featuring VLNC is another trap metal cut with them catching bodies while “Hell’z Bells” takes us a trip to the fiery depths of eternal Hell itself. “Nameless Grave” ends the LP with a 5 minute closer pleading his headstone to be left nameless to hide his shame.
The LSP roster has been experiencing an exponential growth in recent years & Chuckklez’ follow-up to A Mind of Evilness surpasses it’s predecessor by amplifying everything that makes him right at home with the Denver gore hop powerhouse. DJ Ill Sprite’s production is a refinement of the San Jose emcee’s debut 6 years ago, the features are mostly on point & Chuckklez himself puts his Horrors from the Unstable on full display.
Score: 8/10
