Hallowed Ground is the second studio album by Violent Femmes, released in June 1984. 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". A departure from the straightforward rock style of their debut, Hallowed Ground was considerably divisive amongst fans and critics, with many at the time incorrectly thinking Gano's Christian lyrics were ironic.

  • Hallowed Ground ist das zweite Studioalbum der Band Violent Femmes; es erschien im Juni 1984. Die meisten Stücke des Albums wurden vom Sänger der Band, , bereits einige Jahre zuvor geschrieben. Das Album unterscheidet sich deutlich vom poppigen und rockigen Debüt der Band, sind doch viele Stücke von Country-Musik beeinflusst, einige sehr düster und andere haben christlich-religiöse Themen. Als Hallowed Ground erschien, waren die Reaktionen von Fans und Musikkritik gespalten, und nicht wenige glaubten, Ganos stark religiös gefärbte Texte seien ironisch gemeint. (de)

  • Hallowed Ground est le deuxième album des Violent Femmes, sorti un an après le premier, en juin 1984. La plupart des gens pensent que les paroles religieuses de certaines chansons ont un caractère sarcastique, alors que leur compositeur, Gordon Gano, est chrétien pratiquant et était sincère en les créant. Athées, les deux autres membres du groupe ont tout d'abord refusé de les jouer et certaines ont même été écartées du tracklisting final. (fr)
