Cover art for Hello From the Gutter lyrics by Overkill

For the most part this song is about the band's struggle to make it on the NY thrash scene, but the first verse is also very remeniscient of the serial killer,Son Of Sam's 2nd letter to the authorities which opened with "Hello from the gutters of N.Y.C. which are filled with dog manure, vomit, stale wine, urine and blood. Hello from the sewers of N.Y.C. which swallow up these delicacies when they are washed away by the sweeper trucks."
