Americon Lyrics

Cover art for Americon lyrics by Slayer

The song's riffs are really good, but I just tried something out for the hell of it. I like the other Slayer slow tempo songs (ex: Skeletons of Society), but this one I thought could use a pickup in speed. I increased the tempo by 15% in an audio program and the result really kicks major ass (especially the drums).

On the song title, I think by Americon they are saying that it is an American "con" (as in lying or trying to deceive people) stating that the war is about anything else but the oil.

about the song title, although i could not disagree with "abiudb", but my guess is that the title is a portmanteau, [a word made of 2 other words), American + Icon = Americon , it kinda makes sense if u think about what other nation think of US with that "Police The World" strategy their leader have been following for decades now... now u guys be the judge...
