Awesome song. Some of the albums I bought in 1990 were Rust in Peace, Cowboys From Hell, Spiritual Healing, Seasons in the Abyss, Persistence of Time, The American Way, Trouble, Talisman and Painkiller to name just a few.
How the fuck did we go from that to the utter pathetic ear shitting enema that today's generation call "music". Unbelievable, it's a filthy disgrace, Autotune can suck a dick, I wish I could go back and pay Lil Waynes mother for an abortion with some welfare stamps. Fuck it.
The difference between these classic metal bands and most of today's metal bands, is that today's metal bands are content to all have crappy "screamy" vocals, and copy-cat riffs, whatever sounds "hardcore". No identity, no real creativity, nothing that makes them stand out. Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Testament, Toxik, Death Angel, Flotsam & Jetsam, Sacred Reich, Overkill, Forbidden, ALL those all bands eventually forged their own unique sound, and you could tell them all apart.
@MrMetalSnowman it's funny you say that, considering the guys that made this song were liberal, and the song itself was actually bashing Reagan/Bush era America. Do some research bro.
the lyrics spoke volumes at the time (1990) and no one got it..makes you wonder why these guys were shoved aside...BTW,if any cares to take a listen to our band ORION the songs are called "Lies Within The Lies" which is about marshall law, suspension of our constitution and how times: they are a-changin"..."Rise Of The Monarch Slaves" is about our celeb star icon worship,etc..political if you're interested..leave a comment...no budget so this is our only way to get the word out...cheers!!!

it sucks that they are so underrated its a shame these days that bands and artists that barely have talent get the fame that bands like this that have so much talent and potential deserve. it wasnt always like that till the 90s
@agentcamo yeah that too iwas goin to say that too just slipped my mind there is probaly like 3 people in my school who even know what real metal is not just thrash
WTF!?!?! Why did no one tell me about these guys sooner!!! My life is now complete!!! Can't wait to stomp into town laughing at everyone listening to shit music!!! :D \m/
@013jc no, metal bands now are put alot more thought into their music. All the "doom and gloom" is purely metaphorical. You have to really listen to the music now and really think about it. In my opinion, that's alot better. Example: Enemies of Reality by Nevermore
Sup metal heads a friend of mine did a slide show video to this song it's pretty cool, if you wanna check it out type cocadragon77 in ur search bar and give it a view. And yes I agree this band never got the attention they derserved.
The american way, eat at McDonalds and strike for every little thing :) oh, an get brainwashed by war propaganda and die in some country so that you're president can feel important
@tothemountains For some reason i dont like the album on the whole, i find some of the song themes pointless like Love.. Hate. And State of Emergency is pretty annoying..
@tothemountains yea, iwent to 3 different record stores to see if they had any of there stuff all i could find was sur nicaragua but they wanted over $60 for it since it was an import i hope they re-release this cd one day
@tothemountains they are activists - if they played more commercially viable music without "political" messages, they would have been bigger than ... well bigger than Jesus.
@tothemountains I totally agree but not only that they were political but without hearing a song many would not even give a band called Sacred Reich a chance.
i hate it that i never hear such stuff in tv or radio....just find that group/song by hearing other metalstuff. that sucks. is it that hard put some metal into mainstream?? i guess no! btw great song. fucking great message....
