We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record.

It\u2019s raw, it\u2019s angry, it\u2019s in your face!!! From the killer vocal performance (distortion courtesy of the Standard Audio Levelor for the nerds) to the incredible drum performance by Ilan (no, that\u2019s not a drum machine, that is all HIM!!!) the insane slide solo by [guitarist] Chris [Shiflett], the noisy guitars by none other than Pat Smear, to the melodic and always interesting bass parts by Nate [Mendel] and finally to the keyboard madness from Rami [Jaffee] \u2014 this song really came together and FAST.
