The Ultimate Driving Song – Slayer – Killing Fields
I drive around alot in my job and have to come to have a new and now favorite driving song that always makes my drive better no matter what conditions I’m facing. Tonight I had to go pick up a bird through a total of 20 traffic lights in rush hour traffic. Luckily I had my favorite driving song by Slayer called Killing Fields from the Devine Intervention album. The opening music before anyone starts singing is fucking incredible and intense and heavy and my favorite part of the song. The guitar is amazing. My next favorite part of the song is when Tom Araya begins singing. My next favorite part of the song is the next music only part which is even heavier then the beginning. My next favorite part is when Tom Araya starts singing again.
This fucking song is THE DRIVING SONG. I put it against anything anyone else has to say ’bout it.
By the way…the eagle landed safely.
KILLING FIELDS
You know the feeling
When adrenaline takes control
Can’t beat the rush
That leaves a suicidal hold
Instinct spares no one
Destroying the human heart
The taste of blood
Can rip your soul apart
Devils that drive us
Do not discriminate
A state of mind
That becomes the ultimate end
Action reaction
Blood line is not immune
To the depth of human nature
Inside of me and you
A sociopath with empty eyes
And no soul
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone
My blood runs cold
Evils of passion
Can drive reason to extremes
Love hate and murder
Temporary insanity
On the edge of a
Demented personality
Emotional
Pain is a deadly reality
A sociopath with empty eyes
And no soul
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone
My blood runs cold
A choice is made of free will
Just like the choice to kill
Decisions to lose control
My self-destructive rationale
A choice is made, made of free will
Just like the choice, the choice to kill
In the speed of a moment
Life stands still now you’re standing in my killing field
(Lead: King)
A choice is made of free will
Just like the choice to kill
In the speed of a moment
Life stands still now you’re standing in my killing field

US Bombs – We are the Problem
Just got the new cd in the mail today..”We are the Problem” is available online but won’t hit the stores until April. Duane and the band clock in with 15 all new songs full of political spewing, venomous views, uptempo, midtempo and slow tempo punk rock that will not disappoint any US Bombs fan much less a punk fan. Politics and Punk don’t always make a great mix but Duane Peters, Kerry Martinez, Curt Stitch and Jamie Reidling prove it’s a perfect mix for them.
MusicFilter Podcast from 1/7/2008 – “We Are The Problem”
‘Locked in my skin’ is one of my favorite tracks. Cool lyrics…
“I can’t sit around and read a book
the pages always shakin’ too much
Locked in my skin, its a prison from within”
I could go on about how good each song is but instead I’ll give this one 5 stars. 10 out of 10. Awesome music, awesome band, awesome writing, awesome playing. It is so refreshing to hear new music that is actually worth your money. The US Bombs deliver the goods with this one.
Another standout ditty for me is the perfect closing track, “Cheers”…..
Thanks to the guys at Sailors Grave for letting me stream the song.
Listen to Cheers here.
‘Cheers to you, Cheers to me
Cheers to everything I see
Cheers to us and Cheers to them
Here’s to the greatest audience’
Hey Duane, how do I become a Bomb City Rocker?
