This album is a horror movie/thriller in music form. It's dark, disturbing , offensive, and at times oddly surreal. It feels like a look inside the diseased mind of a man on the edge of oblivion. From the fast aggresive form of album opener ''Mr self destruct'' to the slow intentionally repetative (or at least i think it's intentional) menacing one of ''piggy'' to an aggresive attack on religion in ''heresy''. The downward spiral is an industrial masterpiece .
