 Jon Nelson - Horror High interview
Horror High records, launched in 2005 by Jon Nelson, is one of the very first labels devoted exclusively to horror rock.
Fifteen years ago, Horror Rock was the tiniest niche of a niche genre; The Misfits were punk-rock's best kept secret and Metallica's b-cover of "Last Caress" kept bootleggers in business for years with repress after repress of "Garage Days Re-revisted".
As a general rule - horror rock fans are notorious for their love of limited editions, collectables, and colored vinyl.

 Post-punk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the first wave of punk, roughly spanning 1974–1978, bands such as the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, and The Damned began to challenge the current styles and conventions of rock music by stripping the musical structure down to a few basic chords and progressions with an emphasis on speed and attitude.
Typically more introverted, complex, arty, and experimental than classic punk rock or the more pop-oriented New Wave music, post-punk laid the groundwork for alternative rock by broadening the idea of what punk and underground music could do, incorporating elements of Krautrock, Jamaican dub music, American funk, and studio experimentation into the punk rock genre.
Yet as punk itself soon came to have a signature sound a few bands began to experiment with more challenging musical structures, lyrical themes, and a self-consciously art-based image, while retaining punk's initial iconoclastic stance.
