LYRICS
Coming Soon

[TheAcePool]

The fact that this doesn't have a music video both heavily disappoints and greatly relieves me.

[trafficcone]

I may be a Traffic cone, but after hearing this...I...I Feel alive

[Hayonhead]

koRn - Daddy
Slipknot - Iowa
Nirvana- Endless, Nameless
System of a Down - Mind
A group of creepy songs

[АнтонКолев-гв]

This song was so good they even named a state after it

[kw]

I remember counting the school lessons in Iowas back in the day. I'm from Germany, a school lesson is 45mins (= 3 Iowas) here, so I'd be sitting in class totally bored cheering myself up "just two more Iowas to go"

[FEAROWNAGE]

Slipknot: Anger

Iowa: Insanity

Subliminal Verses: Confusion 

All Hope Is Gone: Frustration and Chaos

The Gray Chapter: Aggravation and Loneliness

[The_Nightman_Knives]

I once fell asleep while listening to this song and I had the most fucked up dreams ever

[flamengoforever]

This song shall be put on the periodic table as the heaviest element on earth.

R.I.P Paul and Joey :(

[martianneanderthal]

This feels like a musicalisation of the lowest, darkest and most unsafe state a human being can get to, mentally and physically.

[gougou]

Cool fact: did you know that Corey was recording this song when he recorded this song?
Crazy shit

[leafgd]

"LYRICS
Coming Soon"

Well, they're taking their time.

[Eikorunu]

There are reverse vocals in this that, when played backwards say "don't look at me", combined with the SHUT UP screams during the it cuts us part, gives this whole story of necrophilia a whole other layer of self-hatred and shame for what he's doing, and the fact that it's completely subdued in this song shows he's completely at his breaking point. Really fucking cool shit

[jazza]

I will always love how Paul's bass carries you through the song. It may be fucked up, but he makes sure you get through it in one piece.

[jakeseitzomegareddrums]

Half of this song is Corey screaming, laughing, and moaning in pain. Dark, but still awesome.

[clubquake]

Did you know....? Corey was naked, speedrunning Quake and doing backflips while recording this song. Crazy

[retardedbbqsus]

"Taylor, WTF is wrong with you?"
Clown 2001

[suppeccnole]

Everyone jokes about how Corey is possessed by a demon, but the thing is, he’s not, which makes this song even more scary

[arisrosca]

That song is longer than most hardcore punk albums.

[djxycloneofficial]

As someone who's actually experienced it myself, this song sounds exactly how mental breakdown-induced psychosis feels. Just a seemingly endless cacophony of noise, distortion, rage and depression. The way Paul's bassline carries through most of the runtime, evolving and shifting but continuing through the quietest moments is like how the psychosis evolves but persists through the breakdown, and Corey's psychotic lyrics reflect the demented thoughts one has when having a breakdown. Just a brilliant piece of music.

[camillej]

You can literally hear how fucked up on drugs, alcohol and self harm they are, they were on the edge of death while recording it and it's pretty clear. It's hands down the most hard hitting and haunting album ever made.
