Hot Demon B!tches Near U!!! By CORPSE

Song Year: 2021

Overlayed over a catchy techno beat, this song is similar to the first one in that it showcases raw sexuality and deep vocals, two aspects that have helped CORPSE’s musical career go far.

White Tee By CORPSE

Song Year: 2020

While the lyrics are generic, this song has technical elements that make it one of his best-produced songs. While many of his songs only have techno sounds and bass, White Tee also features experimentation with mixing many different types of instruments.

Never Satisfied By CORPSE

Never Satisfied shows the struggles CORPSE goes through with having a successful career and a normal life. The screaming lyrics push CORPSE out of his usual deep speaking voice which adds an interesting layer of depth to this song.

Song Year: 2020

Written around the time quarantine first became mandatory in the United States, Cabin Fever looks at the madness caused by prolonged isolation. The song highlights not only physical pain but the emotional pain that causes him to stay inside.

The song’s video also shows a black-and-white background picture of a dying rose against cheap blinds.

Even though in the song he talks about not being what people wanted, he expresses a desire and willingness to do what is needed to gain what he promised his lover.

In this song, CORPSE opens up about his chronic illnesses for the first time, and not only shows that he is not letting them stop him but also embraces that he can still fight for what he wants despite the adversity he faces.

DayWalker By CORPSE

Song Year: 2020

Though it is a collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly, DayWalker meshes the two singers’ vocals to create a fascinating sound that blends their brands well. The song, reminiscent of an anime theme song, uses the tempo to create a fast-paced song that one would game to or use as motivation to keep going.

The screaming techno effects used as the baseline of the background music provide a tempo for the fight song. The mix of high screaming and low gravely whispering helps make turn the music into an auditory adrenaline rush. Coupled with the lyrics, DayWalker is a fascinating addition to Corpse’s music since it pushes him musically without having him step too far out of his brand.

The music video, released on Machine Gun Kelly’s channel, incorporates human actors Valkyrae playing CORPSE and Machine Gun Kelly as himself. The song pulls from themes of emo music and rock by showing fight scenes, blood smeared across the walls, and reverberating backgrounds highlighting the beat’s bass and the antagonistic feel.

POLTERGEIST! By CORPSE

Song Year: 2021

This song is the best of Poltergeist since it perfectly blends the elements of his brand with a catchy sound. The catchy song comes from the mix of musical elements that give the song a beat that someone would dance to. Yet, this catchiness is established while still keeping the trademark elements intact.

The flow is what sells this song. While most of the songs showcase his voice, this song also showcases a fast flow within the catchy flow. He collaborated with OmenXIII for this song which enhances the musical aspects by mixing CORPSE’s deep voice with OmenXIII’s higher-pitched rapping voice.

The lyrics also are the most complex of any of CORPSE’s songs. The song compares a noisy ghost like a poltergeist to those that hate on him. The lyrics use clever wordplay, anime references, and his personal experiences to make a vulnerable yet hardcore song, which makes this one the best.
