Devil's in Town is the second single from Silas J. Dirge's upcoming album.
The song's story is a metaphor about making a pact with the devil going awry.
Flowers on her Grave is a country murder ballad. It tells the horrid story of Rosie, or better, of her haunting ghost and the peculiar misfortunes she brings upon those who get too close to her grave.
The song is the first of a few singles to be released, preceding Silas J. Dirge's sophomore album.
Tales of Woe is Silas J. Dirge's debut album.
This gothic country album takes you on a journey through a dark and disturbing world where nothing is what it seems and even Death himself has no clue what is going on.
