To mix it up a little bit I'll be doing segments on the Punisher in other media. this week its music and my top 3 Punisher Songs.
Holy Wars...Punishment Due by MegaDeth
The Punisher inspired the second part of this classic metal song with lyrics
"you killed my wife and my baby,
with hopes to enslave me,
First mistake last mistake"
You really cant get more Punisher if you tried, the way the guitars kick it is just fucking awesome and you can really start to head bang, for some reason Mustain stopped being a fan claiming he got too commercial, dunno what that's about maybe he got pissed off at Frank using energy weapons in the Spiderman cartoon. I'd also add Good Morning Black Friday as it definitely fits the comics due to it being about somebody starting of numb then going on a killing spree, sound familiar?
Warzone by Rob Zombie
This is on the sound track to the best full length Punisher movie so far Punisher Warzone.
"Yeah, I spot a crack nearer on a jigsaw face
Blood and knuckles roar on a muzzle flash
Another day in hell and she's the same
The skull will punish all that will survive"
It starts with great thumping drums that slowly builds into the classic Zombie guitar riffs. Zombie sounds like he actually gets the characters and the comic, which is a refreshing change because the movies have been complete shite (at least the makers of Warzone tried god bless em)
Its got it all jigsaw face, the skull, you cant kill me, what more do you want that's going to scream its about the Punisher.
Dark In Here by Alien Ant Farm
I know your probably shocked I'm choosing something that isn't thrash metal but this song holds a special place in Punishers history being that's its at the end credits of the best super hero game ever (Yes the Punishers game was better fuck you Batman, Arkham Asylum was boring as shit)
"Everything descends,
And my head is dark.
I will not depend,
On anything at all"
The song might be a bit weepy but for some reason after all that torture and killing its a welcome relief, I suppose the amusing credit sequence helped too but I the fact I couldn't stop myself humming it after I played it 6 years later means it leaves a lasting impact you rarely get from most credits.
So there you go, if you think I've left anything out or disagree please leave a comment.
