  • Austin from Bristow, VaCome to think of it, this song kinda mirrors the dark side of the Force from Star Wars. Not trying to sound like a Sci Fi geek, just noticed some key similariies.
  • Joel from Austin, TxSounds like the apocolypse
  • Jeff from Austin, TxGreat song! But then again, pretty much any pre-1993 Slayer is awesome.
