  • Moist And Delicious from A Dirty HoleThis song is about crank and Jaegermeister
  • Anthony H from Missouri"Look up this bands view on other races" , "call out to favor nazi doctors"... Dude what is this guy talking about? The lead singer is Chilean and their old drummer was from Cuba, yet a-hats who know nothing about the band like to label them as culturally inappropriate white supremacists. If you actually listen to the lyrics, there is no glorifying message of nazism, communism, murder, war, satanism or any of the other subject matter in their tracks. They put emphasis on how horrible and terrifying all that s--t is, they aren't praising it. Just stick with listening to Nickelback Anonymous, whoever you are. Pence and trump? Smfh. This track was made in '88 for christs sake
  • AnonymousIn the song “eventual supremacy” and the fact the ads for this song are trump, pence. Look up this bands view on other races. You’ll see. They call out favor to nazi doctors too
  • Cam from Liverpool, United KingdomFrank, this song is about a nuclear fallout.
  • Tom from Chicago, Iltom is great!
  • Tom from Chicago, Ilnuclear war
