All of the rivers and oceans are diseased which nourishes their unborn lord, roaming the earth and murdering all opposers.”
Provides Wade, “I used to be impressed lots by Massacre when penning this one and felt like Phil nailed the vibe vocally contributing to that. There’s a ferocity and evilness to this observe that I feel actually units it aside from the remainder. No breakdowns, simply pummeling riffs with evil chanting over the choruses.”
