Rising from Paris’s funk underground, Disco Frankenstein by Ice (aka Lafayette Afro Rock Band) is a resurrected Halloween gem of horror-disco oddities. Originally a Japan-only 1976 compilation, the album gathered the band’s mid-to-late ’70s experiments released under aliases like Sweet Exorcist, Captain Dax, and Hot Blood—masterminded by producer Pierre Jaubert and bandleader Frank Abel. Revived by Strut for Halloween 2025, it’s a blood-soaked blend of wah-wah guitars, Afrobeat rhythms, and eerie synths. Tracks like “Dr. Beezar (Soul Frankenstein)” and “Disco Vampire” showcase the band’s peak creativity—turning spooky funk into dancefloor fire.
