The Bloodletting – Episode 3: Murder Songs
🕑 Added 2024-01-17 22:55:00 +0000 UTCEpisode 3 of my radio show features songs in the general theme of murder (so obviously you can see why these are inspiring!). I hesitate to say the episode is murder ballads, since they aren't technically all ballads, and there's a whole history to that particular style of songwriting that is very interesting and maybe something to cover at a later date. Anyway, hope y'all have fun listening.
Track list:
- "For My Upstairs Neighbor (Mums the Word)" – El-P
- "I Saw Your Mommy" – Suicidal Tendencies
- "She Got Arrested" – The Interruptors
- "99 to Life" – Social Distortion
- "Chloroform Girl" – Polkadot Cadaver
- "I Hold Your Hand in Mine" – Tim Timebomb
- "Mainlining Murder" – Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards
- "History's Stranglers" – The Bronx
- "Die My Bride" – Murderdolls
- "Shallow Grave" – A Pale Horse Named Death
- "Try to Disappear" – Baroness
- "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" – Thou
- "Crystal" – Këkht Aräkh

I didn’t say this was a metal episode.

Also Suicidal Tendencies will never be metal to me. This song was introduced to me at the same time as Dead Kennedys and Black Flag

Might I recommend this album by Stephanie Nilles? https://stephanienilles.bandcamp.com/album/uncle-stephanies-murder-ballads-for-kids

I have always said if I ever win the lottery, I would pay to have an album of nothing but murder ballads created. Mostly old country but a lot of folk songs too.
