The band consists of founding members Gordon Gano (guitar, lead vocals) and Brian Ritchie (bass, backing vocals), joined by multi-instrumentalist Blaise Garza (joined 2004), and drummer John Sparrow (joined 2005). Former members of the band include drummers Victor DeLorenzo (1980–1993, 2002–2013), Guy Hoffman (1993–2002), and Brian Viglione (2013–2016). Violent Femmes are considered to be an integral part of the then-underground folk punk and alternative rock scenes of the 1980s, and remain influential or inspirational to the subsequent movements, particularly on folk rock, indie rock, grunge, pop punk, emo, and the late 1980s and 1990s alternative rock scene. Hallowed Ground is their second studio album, released on May 14, 1984. Robert Palmer described the album as having "a subterranean mother lode of apocalyptic religion, murder, and madness that has lurked just under the surface of hillbilly music and blues since the 19th century". Country Death Song is the opening track, written by Gordon Gano. written by Gano during his high school classes, was inspired by the tradition of folk songs about "terrible, horrific stories". Gordon Gano felt it wasn't as controversial as many made it out, as it was just an old-style murder ballad. "It never occurred to me that 'Country Death Song' was risky," he told Mojo magazine. "It's like a traditional ballad, a form that goes back hundreds of years."

It's guaranteed to get your own place in Hell Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well [Verse 8] Don't speak to me of lovers with a broken heart You wanna know what will really tear you apart? I'm going out to the barn with a never stopping pain I'm going out to the barn to hang myself in shame
