Since its launch on Halloween 2011, The Chiller compilation has become something of a seasonal tradition in the DIY music community. Presented by Chill Mega Chill and, this year, with kindred spirit Forged Artifacts, it finds the two labels recruiting scary-good new songs from some of their favorite artists. Already, The Fader's been haunted by Ricky Eat Acid's contribution ("ominous, spine-tingling") while Stereogum got spooked by Minneapolis duo Some Pulp ("loud, brash, catchy as hell"). Now, all 20 tracks are unleashed (via double cassette, with trick-or-treat tote bag, stickers, and classic-horror trading cards) just in time for your weekend mischief.
