I was going to do lyrics / vocals for this, but then after doing three different versions of what was meant to be the backing track, it went in a very different direction. It's like a medley, but not quite.
The dialogue sample is from a notorious 1970s industrial safety film called "Man From Lox", which is on archive.org. If you do decide to watch it, you should know that the final shot is genuinely horrible and nightmare-inducing, so be warned.

If John Carpenter worked with Nine Inch Nails, this is what it would sound like. Aggressive, shouty, and you just *know* that nothing is going to turn out well for anyone in the accompanying music video. Am I going to watch the public information film? Hell, no. I'm traumatised enough...
Very nicely done, although I'm not sure "nice" is exactly the word I'm looking for.

Love that kinda dystopian-sounding sequenced bassline, and the way the guitar builds up and explodes is really satisfying! In this context the vocal sample is very zombie-movie, I guess they're also information / safety films in a way.

So, of course, I watched the safety video.
It's kind oif weird but funny, until all of a sudden it very much isn't.
This piece is a glorious accompaniment to it... properly dark and foreboding.
