Of all the celebrations during the year, I think the most “metal” one has to be Halloween. Witches, zombies, vampires, creatures of the night that roam everywhere uncontrolled… if this isn’t metal, then what is? And for our readers, we have decided to compile a list of 10 songs in pure Halloween style, but as usual with our FemMetal touch. Everyone knows the Phantom of the Opera by Nightiwsh or Helloween by Helloween… but how about these? Let us know your favourite!
10. We Own The Night – Amoth
Right from the title, you can guess that this track will create an incredible atmosphere, haunting and warning the listener…
“Dance your last steps now
For soon you will be taken
For the ride of your life
There’s no turning back
What’s been awoken
Will never sway from its path…”
9. Liber Fortitudinis – After Evolution
Who says symphonic metal can’t be spooky? You probably haven’t listened to this outstanding track by After Evolution… Get ready to run!
“In the wood of endless secrets
In the deepest silence
Halfway into nothingness and
Half way i’m tarnationed
Finding lost deliverance
Alongside with the evil…”
8. Casanova – Red Masquerade
Don’t be misled by the title of this bewitching song: it is about lust and a dark environment. Halloween is not only for the body but for the mind as well…
“Now the last light burnt out
The night is coming into your heart
You are alone with your soul
I’ll watch this theatre
Like I’m not staying here…”
7. Spell on You – Madame Neptune
Be careful, reader, because this next song can be very enchanting. You will find it powerful and witch-y…
“Chasing the fears
Your tears
Under the moon
(I put a spell on you)
I cast a spell
Under the moon…”
6. Spoilt Vampire – Diabulus in Musica
It can’t be Halloween without vampires, and this masterpiece by Diabulus in Musica is a perfect match of haunting and magical creatures…
Spoilt vampire
From blind prey to deaf victim
You build your bright fate
Spoilt vampire
Our paths are divided
Our rage is our guide…”
5. Spell – Cadaveria
Could I make a list about Halloween and leave out black metal? Let’s be honest, of course not! And this fits perfectly the mood….
Beautiful witch, beautiful witch
Give light to this black muddy sky
Snatch darkness from these hours
Devoid of evening and morning
Devoid of stars
4. Negra Noche – Astray Valley
Halloween is a dark night indeed, and this incredible band from Spain is capable of evoking a staggering atmosphere with this track.
Hide, I can’t see
Beyond all the voices residing in me
Dreams of a crazy man, deviant lamb
Unspoken the words of the madness inside.
3. Sally’s Song – Eternia
I had to include in this list this classic Halloween song, originally from the Tim Burton movie. This rendition is going to blow your mind!
What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then
Although I’d like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn’t last
2. Sonne – MoonSun
Rammstein may have composed this song, but it’s MoonSun that made it perfect for Halloween. Enjoy the madness of the video, too!
“Die Sonne scheint mir aus den Händen
Kann verbrennen, kann euch blenden
Wenn sie aus den Fäusten bricht
Legt sich heiß auf das Gesicht
Sie wird heute Nacht nicht untergehen
Und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn…”
1. Danse Macabre – Holy Shire
As the band stated during their Halloween live show last year, this is the ultimate track for the most frightening time of the year.
“Life is a tragic joke
Laugh while you look
Death in the eyes
The black lady is dressed out of your shadow…”
