Random thought. I’m not sure if you like it or not, but I don’t care for it. I hate when I see things like Hagar vs Van Halen, KISS vs Ace and Peter, Bach vs Skid Row and so on. It doesn’t make you like or hate the band more. Nor do I care about political views, and I get that you don’t want a particular candidate to use your song. But isn’t it cool that they thought of your band as a theme song? Just declare you don’t like them, Mr. Neil Young, you know what I mean. Way too much of that crap going on. Just stick to the music.
Fear Factory released a lyric video for Soul Hacker. A track from their new album, Genexus, out on August 7. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=26&v=cfIAqYhLSr0
