Best murder songs

Would like to add Love is Murder by Al Ross and the Planets . Sounds serious enough but on the Video there is a smiling Hippo in the Thames ! So I think it a bit of a piss take really.

Slayer is good at this game. Pretty much the entire Reign in Blood album by Slayer fits this. Other than the title track and Angel of Death, my favorite on there is probably Piece by Piece.

The song Dead Skin Mask on Seasons in the Abyss is about Ed Gein, so that fits as well.

I'm gonna have to disagree.... that album was pretty mellow, focusing more on viewing atrocity in the abstract sense.

For this thread, I'm going to have to side with Exile, or Payback.

Song's supposed to be about a pet dog.

Ha! Sure is. Just Googled it. Deep hole for a dog, though.
