the opposite of catatonic, overbearingly so. it is grimy and disgusting and horrifyingly vivid, and its overwhelming emotion is paralyzing. the instrumental machine-gun fire and searing vocals are so brittle, and it feels like the soul of it is wishing desperately to be excised forever. there is no other metal song that feels so painfully realized and caustically terrifying.
