The Melvins - A History of Bad Men
Did you hear that? I got a real bad feeling
How many more do you suppose they're keeping?
Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping

Did you hear that? I got a real bad feeling
How many more do you suppose they're keeping?
Don't make a sound they're not dead, just sleeping
Have you done your reproductive duty, citizen?
Let the heathen spill it
Upon the dusty ground
God will make them pay
For every sperm that can't be found.
Billy Cox on bass, Buddy Miles on drums
German piano-fronted post-rock duo.
Name checks out.
An audio play starring Margaret Thatcher.
No world on the outside
Carve my name above where I rest
Light a candle for my two-step
And dream about a life that's fair and true
Jorma and Jack been working together for over 60 years now. I love this song.
Or spoken word with electronics. About what comes after humans.
"The new ones are not here to destroy us
They merely wait in melancholy chambers
For the moment we have finally destroyed ourselves."
We have no "industrial" flair. This may be a good thing. Laibach is pretty WTF at the best of times.
I can't turn my head away
Seeing all these things
The world is burning up in flames
And nobody wanna take the blame
On 3 December 1984, over 500,000 people in the vicinity of the Union Carbide India Limited pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, were exposed to the highly toxic gas methyl isocyanate, in what is considered the world's worst industrial disaster.
Old doomer joke from the time:
Q: What's the difference between a parking meter and an Indian citizen?
A: You'd be in real trouble if you fucked with 500,000 parking meters.
"The Halabja massacre took place in Iraqi Kurdistan on 16 March 1988, when thousands of Kurds were killed by a large-scale Iraqi chemical attack."
A chemical weapons attack is as likely as a nuclear attack. Lots cheaper, too.
From The Final Cut (1983), the last Roger Waters Pink Floyd album.
I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come
OG doom prog. Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) and Jon Lord (Hammond B-3 organ).
Needle-dropped recently in Stranger Things and weirdly melded with the William Tell Overture and Oklahoma! in Twister.
Choral.

Everything someday will be gone except silence
Earth will be quiet again
Seas from clouds will wash off the ashes of violence
Left as the memory of men
There will be no survivor my friend
It's hard to find a non-playlist "official" version.
"No one likes us, I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around even our old friends put us down
Lets drop the big one and see what happens."
Sail Away (playlist link) is Randy Newman's 3rd solo album. It is intensely political and cynical. (He got more cheerful when he became successful.)
The title track is a look at slavery. Burn On is about Cleveland's Cuyahoga River burning. The two religious songs, He Gives Us All His Love and That's Why I Love Mankind are sacreligious.
"Egypt's gonna get one, too,
Just to use on you know who.
Israel's getting tense, Wants one in self defense.
"The Lord's our shepherd," says the psalm,
But just in case --- we better get a bomb!"
So
