Great song, almost “melodic” in the context of early Swans. I love the way Gira keeps on repeating the words “heat hurts” for nearly 4 minutes and changes the pitch of his voice from brutal powerful screaming to shrieks for help to exhausted, tortured whispering. This is a musical rendering of beating someone slowly and systematically to death.
By the way, here I see some slight inconsistencies with what is actually sung and printed in the lyric sheet that came with the CD.
