Part I: Genesis
Chapter 1
In the beginning, there was shit. The shit was without form and darkness was upon it. And God stepped in the shit and said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
And God saw that the light was good and said, “Let there be dry land to wipe the shit from my foot”. And it was so.
God called the dry land Earth and saw that, from the practical perspective of wiping shit from your foot, it was good.
As God left to do more interesting things, a small piece of shit fell into the water. The shit floated around in the ocean for millennia until one day by pure chance, it began to Evolve...
Within the ocean blue
A cell divides in two
It swims till it gets bored
Then walks upon the shore
Breathing the virgin air
It stops to groom its hair
Then reaching for a bite
Labors to stand upright
Then cries, “I am the lord!”
The men advance and fall
From hills and valleys crossed
Processed from virgin births
To killing for the church
They slaughter everything
In the name of their King
And when the blade meets blood
They cry for their wives’ love
But now the cry is a call
For all to evolve...
The men arrive in crates
Reaped from the seeds of hate
Morticians feed on prey
Widows’ insurance pays
In rooms that touch the sky
They work from nine to five
Processing widows’ claims
She cries her husband’s name
But now the cry is a call
For all to evolve...
Evolve...
Evolve...
Evolve...
Evolve...

Ok, I said I'd check out your other stuff "when I have the time", but I just had to click on this as well immediately when I saw the "barbaric" tag. And boy, I wasn't disappointed! Something really violent here, I'm loving it. Those screams are awesome. And your theme somehow reminds me of Garth Ennis' comic book Preacher, which is one of my favourites of all time. Now I'm bummed I only found you this late into the game!

Jesus this is so good, I don't mean that for Jesus, I just mean, fuck, this is good. This combines so many things I love, most of all it just rocks, good way to kick off the origin story that started all origin stories...love the distorto vocals. Great bass playing too!
@robs Feb 2022
Love the liner notes, great retranslation of Genesis! Cool distorted lead vocal, and what a chaotic ending, almost psychedelic.

Heard you on XRP and laughed the fuck out loud with the whole concept story. This is a really good banging song! It sounds really professional! Excellent writing, mixing, production and.....storytelling.
BTW, how can god step on shit if it's without form? See that? You fucked up the story. You suck.
@spikedirection Feb 2022
Hey man! Somehow missed all your posts until now. Really cool that you're doing a concept album.
This opening is absolutely incredible. Early motorhead with shades of Stoner rock and, 90s punk? Anyway I love it. Can I please play this on my FAWM radio show tomorrow night?
@bamsekarhu Feb 2022
How did you combine all the vibes from stoner, americana and skate-punk? What?
Nice!
@deathboy Feb 2022
i think i needed this track in the 90s
fucking a.
@debrandio Feb 2022
Wow you've got yourself quite a rocking number on your hands there. Looking forward to hear how your concept Evolves.

Wasn't sure what was going on for the first 30 seconds or so. Probably better to have headphones for that part. Love the lyrics! There's quite a lot going on toward the end, but it all fits together nicely! Pretty groovy!
