  • Description

    More Fun Than An Open Casket Funeral is Accused's second full-length release from 1987. The Accused created a genre of music called "splatter-rock" which was screaming, speeding punk/metal. Led by their blood thirsty, knife-wielding, avenging mascot, Martha Splatterhead, The Accused plays an original style of ghoulishly fused punk and thrash metal. Their lyrics range from politics to horror, death & destruction. First reissued on Unrest Records back in 2011, More Fun Than An Open Casket Funeral has been out-of-print on wax for years and now due to popular demand it's being repressed on vinyl and packaged in a gatefold sleeve with a huge 60x60cm poster!
