Epicurus was an historical Greek thinker who was into spiritual skepticism. His well-known paradox says that if there’s an omniscient, all-powerful and omnibenevolent god, there wouldn’t be evil. Nicely, it most definitely is evil happening on this world, so if there’s a god, not less than one of many three traits gotta go. Because the tune says; your god is a fraud. We don’t essentially point out which god we’re speaking about, however personally I believe all religions who worship some man-made deity are utter bullshit.” He continued, “In terms of the music this one is ferocious. As with all our songs the HM2-pedal is maxed, however on this observe the riffs are additionally closely influenced by one in every of our all time fave loss of life steel bands; Dismember. It’s one thing concerning the pace and sheer brutality mixed with extra melodic sections that I discover very satisfying and addictive. Within the midst of the mayhem there’s truly riffs you could hum alongside to. Bang on!”
