Satellite 15 if I had to speak literally. It feels like very energetic doom metal experiment. I'd be interested in seeing more experiments like it.

Eh, I can see this one, the "propaganda machine" being the men recruited through German propaganda in obscene numbers. Maybe not historically accurate, but sensible nonetheless. And you can't really get mad at any of the lyrics in Quest For Fire. It's clearly intended to be campy and comic...
