"Death Comes Ripping" is one of The Misfits' most aggressive and defining tracks, hailing from the Earth A.D./Wolfsblood era. It showcases a raw, unrelenting speed and transition into a more metallic, thrash-influenced sound compared to their earlier horror-punk. Driven by a frantic, high-energy pace and Glenn Danzig's shouted vocals, the song's short, brutal structure delivers a visceral, apocalyptic theme of impending doom and chaos, leaving a lasting impression of pure, unbridled punk rock ferocity.
