Land of the Dead

About Land of the Dead

"Land of the Dead" is a single by the horror punk band the Misfits, released October 27, 2009 through Misfits Records. It is the first release of new studio material from the band since the 2003 covers album Project 1950, and their first release of new, original material since 1999's Famous Monsters. It is also the only release by the band's 2005–2010 lineup of Jerry Only, Dez Cadena, and Robo. The single's cover artwork, by Marvel Zombies artist Arthur Suydam, is based on the band's "Crimson Ghost" skull logo. Both the cover art and the single's two songs, "Land of the Dead" and "Twilight of the Dead", are an homage to director George A. Romero's Living Dead series of zombie films. "Land of the Dead" is named after Romero's 2005 film of the same name, for which Twilight of the Dead was a working title. "Land of the Dead" and "Twilight of the Dead" are the third and fourth Misfits songs to be titled after Romero's Living Dead films: Previous Misfits lineups had recorded "Night of the Living Dead" (1979), titled after the 1969 film, and "Day of the Dead" (on the 1997 album American Psycho), titled after the 1985 film. more »

A fortress in the sky
What's left of life it holds
We live on borrowed time

Along a glowing moonlit pier
Their armies still advance
From the murky depths they rise

From their rotting bones
Their souls they scream
For the flesh they need

[Repeat: x2]
Tonight, tonight 
Zombies walk
(Walk the earth)
Land of the dead

Massive flames arise
They burn out of control
In the slums it's genocide

Evolved they find a way inside
Those who could escape
Had no chance to survive

From their rotting bones
Their souls they scream
For the flesh they need

[Repeat: x2]
Tonight, tonight 
Zombies walk
(Walk the earth)
Land of the dead

Tonight, tonight 
Zombies walk
Land of the dead
The dead

Misfits

The Misfits are an American punk rock band often recognized as the progenitors of the horror punk subgenre, blending punk rock and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery. Founded in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey by singer and songwriter Glenn Danzig, the group had a fluctuating lineup during its first six years with Danzig and bassist Jerry Only as the only consistent members. During this time they released several EPs and singles and, with Only's brother Doyle as guitarist, the albums Walk Among Us (1982) and Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood (1983), both considered touchstones of the early-1980s hardcore punk movement.
