Pumpkin Skull – Black Velvet Horror
Release Date: 25th March 2026
Whether it’s the chilling wail that accompanies the intro, the delightfully soft twang of the bass or the rawness of the dual vocals that tie it all together, there’s something enchanting about ‘Black Velvet Horror’ that will have even the most gothic-averse listener can appreciate.
American act Pumpkin Skill, a delightful name I think we can all agree, are a husband and wife duo that are taking their first foray into synth-backed gothic rock with ‘Black Velvet Horror’ and they’ve created the perfect tonic in a song. When everything is a bit too hot and sticky outside, or life is just asking a bit too much of you, ‘Black Velvet Horror’ is the sort of song you need to pop on and just take a few moments to yourself. Maybe pour yourself a goblet of red wine and let the world drift past for a while.
