The main feel to this song is very Killing Joke for me. The whole mantra-like idea behind it isn’t typical Slab at all (but what is?). The euphoria of the chorus lifts me every time we play it.
Andy would be the first to admit that on the day of the recording he was having trouble getting the drum pattern started, hence the little giggle you can hear after his Pigshifter whoop. This is after a number of false starts, but they weren’t getting him down as you can hear!
Quite proud of the bass pushes I synchronised with the kick drum in the verses.
Rabid disciple spitting meat,
Serpent seed or saint,
It’s zero at the bone.
And life returns,
Green through Grey,
Bloodsap will rise and sate,
The Animal Faced God.
Animal Faced God overseer of life now, burn down your churches and bathe in the light.
Rapid disfigurement,
Burnt at the stake,
Torture of the beast only proves inbound hate.
And life returns,
Green through Grey,
Bloodsap will rise and sate,
The Animal Faced God.
Narciscistic plague overwhelms humankind now, tear down your churches and roll in what you find.
