• Premiere: Watch Necronata’s New Music Video ‘Cirque Du Freak’

    23 July 2020

    An Australian musican who goes by the name of Necronata has just released a new single called Cirque Du Freak, with a really cool accompanying video. It's a deliciously dark mix of metal, pop and punk -- VERY catchy!! You can read a bit more about it and check it out here:

    Now, I've written lots of times in the past about how the phrase "Cirque Du Freak" has crossed over into common parlance over the last twenty years, and is often used without any reference to my books, sometimes by people who'd never even heard of my books. But in this case I've a sneaky suspicion, prompted by the lyrics of the first two verses (below), that Necronata is a confirmed Shanster, and deliberately paying homage to my work...

     

    I wrote a symphony
    From the sound stilettos
    Snapping all the necks
    Of all the zombies in club
    Like a Darren Shan novel
    Coming back from the dead
    This grub's hooked on that
    Same demonic drug love

    And here's an interesting interview with the artist from a few months back, when he was still working on putting this together: https://www.hysteriamag.com/necronata-dishing-diabolical/
