It's Halloween, it's Halloween, it's time for scares, it's time for screams!
It's also nearly time to raid my son's pail for all of the Baby Ruths.
Here's an industrial EBM cover of "I Want Candy," a 1965 bubblegum pop song from New York City band The Strangeloves (with the definitive version released by London, UK worldbeat group Bow Wow Wow in 1982) from Black Metal Box.
An internet query showed that Black Metal Box was the name used by a Phoenix, Arizona hard rock band that made waves locally between 2008 and 2015... but this cover was released a full decade earlier.
By searching the compilation album's name, there was a crosslink to the proper Black Metal Box.
Though little information is found on BMB themselves, one member's previous band Freak Seed had a listing in the metal archives. Our Black Metal Box is not from Phoenix, as it turns out, but from Morristown, New Jersey.
