This is my favorite thrash metal song.
Lyrics on this song are fantastically written...It's told/sang from the perspective of a woman who was/is raped. I don't have a source, but I heard that the song was praised by some feminist groups. So I suggest you read the lyrics while listening to the song.
Music is even better... Riffs are absolutely incredible, and there are plenty of them. Btw. this song was released on an album called Time Does Not Heal, which had a sticker on it that says: "9 songs, 67 minutes, 246 riffs!" Main writer on this song and album is drummer (!) Gene Hoglan. Instrumentally and lyrically, this album is perfect. Production is very good for an album released in 1991. The weakest part are the vocals which are good, but slightly monotone.

8/10 - good song, reminds me a little bit of Sacred Reich. Never got into Dark Angel for some reason.

That's some dark, powerful, nasty stuff.

 

[Taker]

Intense, dark lyrics, but the song doesn't do a lot for me...6.
