Wicked Pussycat

Danzig · Danzig 7-77 - I Luciferi [2002]

Enter those eyes split back opals

There within eros is manifest

Dark and light soul sworn to no one

Both it's your game and you know it



I like you lots now, I like you better

Walking your catgirls in leashes and leather

I watch you curl up into a circle

Symbol of eternity, wicked pussycat



My fall is starting



Six foot pussycat, I like the way you swing your tail

Big black witch cat, yes, you cast a real strong spell

Feline succubus, got your fangs inside her throat

Wicked pussycat, got your girlslaves all in tow



Six foot oni cat, I like the way you lick your fur

Evil kittykat, what's it take to hear you purr

Wicked Pussycat

Released on the 2002 album Danzig 7-77 - I Luciferi, 'Wicked Pussycat' stands as a potent example of Danzig's dark, theatrical gothic metal style. The track features Paul Ward's distinctive, operatic vocals layered over a brooding, atmospheric arrangement that defines the band's later era. It captures the essence of their work during the early 2000s, blending horror-inspired imagery with heavy, distorted guitars and a sense of ritualistic intensity. The song serves as a significant song in Danzig's discography, reflecting the artist's continued exploration of occult themes and dramatic storytelling through music. Its enduring presence in the catalog highlights its impact on the genre and its role in cementing Danzig's legacy as a pioneer of black metal and gothic rock.
