The Bronx Casket Co.

Formed as a side project by
Overkill
bassist D.D. Verni, and featuring several prominent metal
musicians, the excellently-monickered Bronx Casket Company
is musically miles away from the thrash of Verni's main band.
Instead, the focus here is on dark, gothy metal, sometimes
reminiscent of
Type O Negative
but not quite as heavyhanded.
Keyboards and guitars play an equal role in defining a dark,
melancholy atmosphere (but not totally without light), with
Myke Hideous' vocals a perfect fit for this style.
Among the tracks on their debut are one of the best ballads I've
heard in a long time ("Alone") and a cool, un-thrashy take on
Metallica's
"Jump In The Fire".
A second album,
Sweet Home Transylvania, was released in October
of 2001,
and though they haven't had a high profile since then, they
are still around and aim to release their third album soon.
