Please discuss.

This song is death. Need it, like it, and have it. A true pot boiler.

[Forklift81]

It does indeed rock. I was counting my teeth after it was over, BECAUSE IT KICKED MY ASS! You guys know what metal is supposed to sound like, and your love of the genre shows in the music. One of my favorite tracks.

[Nick Nunziata]

Actually, I find it hard to define this one. I came up with the main riff about 7 years ago as kind of a Cult ELECTRIC era riff but Micah's middle part changed it and the way I did the lyrics is another thing altogether.

I love the song but have trouble classifying it.

[Steve Murphy]

Speaking of Micah, he's been rather scarse around this forum. Where is he?

[Micah Robinson]

It's just RAWK, Nick. http://www.chud.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

Package rock is an even better description.

Really. It has all of the "elements."

Steve's propulsive drumming.

A "Package-y" lead riff provided by Nick.

Some guitar squealing from me.

Nick's howling vocals.

And overall cool, but slightly creepy vibe from my voiceover.

It's one of our best "our" songs, where we all have equal input to make something special.

Another resurrection.

WHEN CHAINS ATTACK!
(lyrics: Nunziata - music: Nunziata, Robinson)

Bloodstains across the wall
ending life like a wrecking ball
excess so wretched still
cleansing is impossible
turn the knob to ten
drown out the periphery
feed the flames endlessly
you can't change it

Inside the ground is swelling
reaching out for someone to let it take them in
cross the line and you will feel
when chains attack
inside the configuration
pieces lock to seal you up inside
I'll be there to watch you
when chains attack

You can't be reassembled
when you're scattered to the winds
fury and passion, amalgamated
such is life among the skinned

blood, water, bodies, slaughter
pain, release, bones, disease
Skin so penetrable, so dependable
like a razor, a real hell raiser


Marrow exposed to open air
feeding the hunger from beyond
flayed, laid, and taken in
cleansing is impossible
try hard to concentrate
shattering periphery
even if you want to end
you can't change it

Inside the ground is swelling
reaching out for someone to let it take them in
cross the line and you will feel
when chains attack
inside the configuration
pieces lock to seal you up inside
I'll be there to watch you
when chains attack

You can't be reassembled
when you're scattered to the winds
fury and passion, amalgamated
such is life among the skinned

Inside the ground is swelling
reaching out for someone to let it take them in
cross the line and you will feel
when chains attack
inside the configuration
pieces lock to seal you up inside
I'll be there to watch you
when chains attack

I couldn't get this or "Walk in Blood" to play. I'd like to hear it.
