I’m.....I’m......I’m at a level of angry that I haven’t felt in a long time! Yet again, this is another example of loyal PC fans being used as nothing more than guinea pigs so that consoles can get special bonuses.........AAARRRGGG!!!!!!!!!
So, for a surprise post to relieve some stress, here’s a sequel to my original post: The Top 5 Songs To Kill People To. I must apologize if this list seem a little more rushed, but given my mental state at the moment, I don’t think you’ll mind. I was originally gonna post this a month or two from now, but again....circumstances!
(Note: Nowhere at any time during this post do I actively encourage violence towards people. This post is just a dark joke, and is meant to make people who haven't been having a good day feel a little less stressed & happy.)
5) Lordi - Blood Red Sandman
If someone were to ask who Lordi was, I’d say that they’re the Finnish version of KISS.....minus the commercialism, and more on just pumping out some damn good metal. On top of that, take a look at the costume the lead singer uses!
As for Blood Red Sandman, I can say that this is something you’d hear in a good horror film, especially one from the 80s & 90s. It’s dark, brooding, and it’s just the kind of thing you’d hear during a massacre. The only reason why it’s at the number 5 spot is that the song occasionally sounds a little goofy. Not enough to ruin the song (The song shows off the essence of metal, and has a badass beat to it), but enough to make it sound slightly silly.
4) Type-O Negative - Xero Tolerance
Have I mention that I like Type-O Negative, because I have!
It’s really such a shame that they never really got the respect they deserve (With the exception of their last album, but that’s for a later review). Their skill with guitar, drums, and some surprising keyboard, not to mention Pete Steele’s unearthly voice, make for an incredible. Within this song, that’s very apparent.
The guitar & drums go from slow to fast, then fast to slow, in about the blink of an eye. The effects of the keyboard & other noises create a very eerie background, and one that will haunt your dreams. Then there’s Pete Steele’s singing: you can hear him yell, scream, howl, and froth at the mouth in this song. Couple with some of the most violent lyrics ever written for a song, and you have something that a mass-murdering psychopath would put on his I-Pod.
3) Echo & the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
At first, I though this was another goofy sounding song. Coming from 1984, you expect such kind of music, right? However, my foot has been shoved straight into my mouth for expecting such!
Instead, we’re given quite a sinister song. Forgoing heavy guitars, Echo & the Bunnymen opted for a smart usage of string, and a soft but still loud set of drums. The lyrics themselves are just as sinister, and are actually open to interpretation for some. Is this song about the death of others, or is it about the death of the listener. The Killing Moon is so open on this, it’s kinda hard to tell, but perhaps that was intentional?
2) Amon Amarth - Bloodshed
There’s really not much to talk about in this song. All you need to know is that it involves the following:
- Vikings
- Mead
- Norse Mythology
- Bloodshed & carnage
Need I say more?
1) Suicide Commando - Hellraiser
When I wrote the original list, I placed this song at the number 2 spot. The only reason that Maxwell’s Silver Hammer passed it, was because it wasn’t what you’d expect for a violent song. Since that song is nowhere near to be found, I figured that it was time for Hellraiser to shine!
This is perhaps one of the most sinister, violent, and downright bloodiest songs I’ve ever listened to. Johan Van Roy, aka Suicide Commando, has always been know for making aggressive and dark music, but Hellraiser has to top that cake. The keyboard & electronics used paint a highly uncomfortable atmosphere, almost to the point where you might want to turn off the song. On top of that, he also selected a equally uncomfortable and bloody selection of words. If you don’t believe me, take a look below.
“You are condemned
I've put a spell on you
The smell of death
Has got all over you
Like a disease
I will control your mind
Get on your knees
You won't survive the night
Hellraiser
Hellraiser
You are possessed
I am your living pest
Put you to rest
Tonight, you'll be my guest
You are oppressed
Abused on my request
Get ready for
The final inquest
Hellraiser
Hellraiser”
He repeats some of the lyrics in the rest of the song, but make no mistake: Hellraiser is one of the most violence-inducing songs ever created!
See you all next week. Until then, stay Otaku!
