this is the final version of something i'd been playing with since
about '94 or so, and by this time the track had become something that
was beyond absurd. in a way, this is the culmination of everything i did
in this period. it's the central track of my inri years: it's both the
first thing i spent any time seriously writing and the ultimate
realization of the musical ideas i was exploring. it's the longest track
on the first demo. the drum programming is deep, there's an
orchestration through sequencing, synth parts in the background, lead
guitar work coming to the forefront - it's everything thrown together at
a coherent level, really for the first time.
thematically, i'm just going to let it stand as is, other than to point towards the existing writeup at the demo site:

that
this is the central track of this period maybe demonstrates how
ridiculous i was and how ridiculous my musical vision was. maybe it also
demonstrates just how young i was.
the remaining tracks in this period sort of pivot after this.
i
should be clear: this is pretty much the most terrible song that you
could possibly imagine existing, and that was kind of the intent. the
shock value is entirely up front. but at the same time, it's just so
terrible that it's kind of funny, and that was entirely intended as
well.
you could maybe say something about somebody like
alice cooper. ripping live chicken heads off in the middle of a
performance is just about the most tyrannical thing you could imagine
somebody getting away with on stage. it's just *so* ridiculous, that you
can't help but laugh - even as you're horrified.
it's a
phase a lot of teenagers go through. i guess the difference between me
and a hundred thousand other kids is that i was exploring it through
composition.
