about
"Satan's Tavern" is a song from Denver, Colorado heavy metal group, Immortal Sÿnn's upcoming sophomore album, Force of Habit (album release date pending). It is the second single to be released from that album. Recording took place at Rusty Sun Audio in Parker, CO with engineer Nick Nodurft, and the song is set for digital release on July 24, 2020.
The song was written both lyrically and musically, by the band's founder and guitarist, Tony Z. Lyrically, the song is a mashup of clichés and idioms mixed in with a few Bible references in a very tongue-in-cheek fashion. The music is a raucous party anthem and draws influence from the early days of the Bay Area thrash scene.
Due to line-up changes after the band's 2019 summer tour, the instrumentation on the track is done entirely by drummer Axel Berrios and guitarist/founder, Tony Z. Axel handled all drum parts, while Tony Z played all guitar tracks and bass. This single also marks the second appearance of new vocalist, Duel Shape, who has a style heavily-influenced by bands such as Cinderella, Dangerous Toys, and Mötley Crüe. Tony and Axel both contributed vocal harmonies to the track to coincide with Duel's ripping leads.
lyrics
The time is right
I’m going out tonight
I feel like raising Cain
Down in the devil’s domain
You just call his name
And he’s bound to appear
He’ll fill your idle hands
With fire, brimstone, and beer
He looks after his own
From his barroom throne
There’s no gnashing of teeth
Nor wailing souls down beneath
They say the devil may care
When you’re acting a fool
But when you head down here
We’re breaking all of the rules
Come down, below
And we, will show
You where, to go
Satan’s tavern
Well there’ll be hell to pay
‘Cause I been drinkin’ all day
Down at Satan’s Tavern
Now I’m in a rut
‘Cause I’m too f----d up
Down at Satan’s Tavern
From behind his bar
The devil deals the cards
Take a chance to win
And soon the fever begins
You’ll piss your money away
On his mystery shots
And make your daughters scream
When you’re drunker than Lot
You might get in a fight
By the end of the night
But in this lawless town
You know you’re injury-bound
Now it’s time to leave
And it’s time for last call
But he doesn’t mind
He knows again you’ll fall
Come down, below
And we, will show
You where, to go
Satan’s Tavern
Well there’ll be hell to pay
‘Cause I been drinkin’ all day
Down at Satan’s Tavern
Now I’m in a rut
‘Cause I’m too f----d up
Down at Satan’s Tavern
A’int got nowhere to go
A’int gonna take it slow
Down at Satan’s Tavern
Now I’m blackin’ out
As the demons shout
Down at Satan’s Tavern
