This is quoted from an interview conducted on getmetal.com What is the story behind the song “Hail and Farewell To Britain”? Peter Steele: -It has nothing to do with England..It is a metaphor..What happened is, on most Type O albums we’ve had little soundscapes between songs and one of the sounds I had come up with was having British fighter pilots during World War I being shot down and going down together….and it kind of turned into a song! So as they are being shot down over Germany, they are saying Hail and Farewell to Britain.. I have nothing against England whatsoever or Germany or Poland or Iceland or fuckin Queens NY.. It also gives journalists another question to ask: what do you mean by that? And the answer is I don’t fuckin know… |
