Hiding In Plain Sight


As a fan of heavy metal you may think you've heard all possible permutations of religious\satanic lyrics that could ever be. But then along comes this new album by Atheist "Jupiter" (which ain't bad by the way) which features the tune "Faux King Christ". The chorus is "Jesus Faux King Christ". That's so brilliantly clever but obvious, why the hell hasn't someone thought of it before? Why the hell didn't I think of it? I guess for the same reason I don't have an all-red painting in the modern art museum. It's good, perhaps even Sofa King good. Plus, it's got woodblock on it! Can't hardly get that on a metal record these days. Even a strange Faux Vinyl Surface Noise segment too, which I don't entirely understand.

You may want to play it back to back with Weedeater's "For Evan's Sake".
