 Song 164

Hello my fellow music nerds, welcome back to the blog! One of my favourite bands released a new song, so I am here to review it! The song is called Blood Magick (It's a Ritual) by Creeper! no that is not a typo, that's how it's spelled in the title. My person and I both love Creeper, they are the one who got me into this band. (I love you babes <3) So let's get into it. 

The intro has this choir like, sound going on. I love that, I really feel like this album is gonna be sick! There's also some lyrics in the intro. "Blood magic it's a ritual, the time has come to give your life for love." It also has this awesome guitar strum pattern, and drum beat. It's amazing. The first verse: "Megan wants to meet her maker, she wants to feel him in her soul, to taste below. And Robin wants to witness death, wants to feel him on her chest and on her breast. She whispers for Bathomet, Britney sits on the laps of strangers. Will you bleed for me? Whitney laughs at the boys in danger." So this is a bit of a sexual song, but that's not the primary theme here. Honestly the way this one is arranged, is very much like 80s rock but mixed with modern stuff. The chorus: "Blood magic it's a ritual, California infernal. The time has come to give your life for love, swallow it darling, drink the blood. Drink the blood." I feel like they have reentered, their vampire era with these new tracks. And if you look at their music videos, it has that theme. I'm gonna call it Vampire Rock. The second verse: "Violet wants a violent love to disgrace the lord above, a violent love. Lisa wants to live forever, she wants to see the darkness come. To watch him come, she moans for Bathomet. Faye laughs at the boys in danger, will you bleed for me? May bolts shut their burial chambers." Or coffins perhaps? The chorus repeats, and there's no bridge in this song. That has been replaced with an epic guitar solo. I cannot tell you how much I freaking love the guitar, and it's not just because that's my last name. It's literally my favourite instrument, (also my person plays it) and I love it when they just go to town on the strings. It's amazing! The chorus repeats again, with some clapping in the beginning of the last repeat. Love that, makes you feel like you're apart of it. There's no outro, just the last line is sung with the music cut, and then the track ends. 

That wraps up this review, I'm very excited for the album to come out. I feel like it's gonna be so good. I'll see you all in the next one :) Happy listening everybody!
