An organic chemist who plays the organ.
Why ♥ It?
This song is liquid catharsis. The piano throughout (especially until the 3 minute mark) is heartwrenching, and the mood is dark and brooding. I like how the band doesn't achieve the mass release of frustration through screaming and drop-D chords; they spend 3 minutes building the mood and then kick in the metal, and it's still subtle then by metal standards. Teenagers would love this song if they had the attention span to wait 3 minutes to hear a vocalist sing the word fuck.
