Overkill
Overkill, by Solitary Experiments

Just another act of crime
Thousands of innocent lives had to die.
The fear and the fright are spreading around
Now we are standing on a trembling ground

The silence clouded by a veil
Corrosive dust turns the day into night
The biting smoke just dims my eyes
There is nothing left to hide behind

We are the suffering of Hell
Caused by a terrible overkill --
We were touched by the darkness
And it'll always remind
Of the crucial day our Humanity died.

Flames of fire are rising high;
Downfalling wreckage from the sky.
These attacks against our faith and trust
Earns deepest contempt and disgust

Reasons are not to be explained
I am so sorry and ashamed.
It's in our nature to destroy
We always do it, we're "justified."

2. Cool lyrics.

This is the first I've heard of them, so I just went and checked them out. Got a cool Front 242 type of thing going on, which is never a bad thing in my eyes (or ears). I'll have to investigate further because I love that kind of stuff.

Thanks. Always good to hear something that's new to me.

3. Also some definite God Module and Sleepwalk influences.
I heartily recommend the Advance into Unknown album (from which Overkill comes), especially track 10, the heart-wringing The Edge of Life.

Black. White. Blue.

4. Thanks for the tip.
I just added them to my Myspace page, and I'll be keeping an eye out for the CD.
