This song is sick as f. Straight thrash that bangs as hard as anything off KIMB... or Peace Sells.
I've been reading a lot of "thoughts" on Megadeth songs recently and invariably on the vast percentage of songs I've looked at, there's one person who always has to claim that a song that is clearly not intended to be any metaphor or alusion, is about drug addiction. Like, try it for yourself if you don't believe me. And, yes...of course sometimes they're right, but THIS is not one of those times. This song is literal all day long. Citing "the demonic enemy horde" is not some strange, dramatic way of coming clean about his very serious, and almost life-ending drug addiciton 20 years prior...he more likely wrote it after finishing the Lord of Rings Triology. Come on guys...try harder.
