Its clear that much of the band is worked around the idea of shock and awe. They have songs with names like Funeralopolis and We Hate You, and a record called Dopethrone which pictures the devil smoking a bong. You could even go as far to say their sound is based around this principle. The first sound of this album is a sample suggesting "death or mental institutions". Next is a pulsating bass that seems stumbling and somehow unhinged, matched by the mammoth guitar that beats throughout the song. The closest analogy I can give the whole tone of the song (or the album) is that of tar. It's a dark crude mess of black hot pitch; steaming, bubbling, rising and falling. It's a song that with it's title establishes what it will be before its even played and then still manages to shock the listener.Song: Here
