User blog:AustinDR/PE Proposal: Elizabeth Bathory (Woman of Dark Desires)

Alright, so another song-based candidate.

What is the work?
Bathory is a band from Vallingby, Sweden, that specialize in extreme metal. One of the albums they had released in 1987 is called Under the Sign of the Black Mark. As you would've expected, they are named after the infamous blood countess Elizabeth Báthory who features in their song "Woman of Dark Desires."

Who is she? What has she done?
In "Woman of Dark Desires," Elizabeth is described as wearing "gold and purple" as she waited for the night. Elizabeth was a vain woman obsessed with eternal beauty and as such, she decided to lure virgins to her household by staging a grand feast. Sure enough, the guests arrive and they are violently killed by Elizabeth. Come the next morning, and sixty women were found slain with their corpses being robbed of their blood through bloodletting. Each victim was carefully selected by Elizabeth and she would then use their blood to moisturize her body with.

The song ends with Bathory being made to pay for her crimes and is near death. She is noted to have not felt remorse for any of her murders.

Freudian Excuse? Mitigating factors?
None. She was getting older and she'd try to stave it off by murdering dozens of virgin women for their blood.

Heinous standard
Killed sixty women. In the album, there isn't any correlation between songs. One song is about a colossal battle with death on both sides, but no one stuck out. Another was about the Devil calling someone into Hell for eternal damnation. Yet another was about a man talking about going on a bloody conquest, but there is a nonexistent body count. And chariots of fire from Hell rain down fire and destruction on the Earth, but there is no one that stands out in that song.

Verdict
Thoughts?
