And now for something completely different…. I had a few riffs, but no real idea for the song. So I went down a more experimental path, don’t worry this is no John Cage noise (or silence), but it also isn’t a “band” song. There is some record scratching, congas, and the vocals are sampled. It still has more or less a standard structure though….

The vocals in question are from a sermon I preached back when I was a brainwashed evangelical. The sermon in question was based around James 2:14-28. I may have sampled myself so thoroughly out of context as to completely reverse the message…. but you had to expect that. In fact, it was remarkably easy to do so, with most parts being just direct whole quotes. There was some word replacements – “lord” -> “whore” for instance. I also dropped the cool and humorous “stalker” analogy…. it just didn’t fit.

I don’t have the lyrics, because I didn’t sing any. The samples were just arranged “at random” as I went along, but they should be audible – it was just me speaking not the screamy-growly stuff I usually do. Except the intro, where I took my opening prayer – and reversed and pitchshifted it to make some classic backmasking rumbles

PS – The next 3 weeks are all normal metal songs – or at least as normal as my metal gets
