Brand new sealed album from Violent Femmes.
Hallowed Ground is the second studio album by Violent Femmes, released on May 14, 1984.[4] Like the band's first album, the songs were mostly written by singer/guitarist/lyricist Gordon Gano when he was in high school. "Country Death Song", for example, written by Gano during his high school classes, was inspired by the tradition of folk songs about "terrible, horrific stories".[5] A stark and experimental departure from the relatively straightforward folk-rock style of their debut, Hallowed Ground was considerably divisive amongst fans and critics,[6][7] with many at the time incorrectly thinking Gano's sincere Christian lyrics were ironic.[1
