This mp3 version of HATE is not the final album version, since this one is a raw mix, indeed the last of the albums songs to be mixed, edited and mastered, and I am doing it right now...

Anyway, we had an unexpected honor to get the background vocals from one of the best female singers in the whole fucking world, Liz Aday who has performed as a vocalist for Big Brother and Holding Company (Janis Joplin's band!!!!), toured together with the 80s and 90s hardrock superstar Pat Benatar and collaborated with the super-famous Seattle band Smash Mouth...

Listen to how this lady creates the multi-layer vocals for the bridge and chorus to support Izzi!!! That is bloody amazing!!!

Musicians:
Izzi: vocals
Aki: guitars and backround vocals
Timpa: drums
TT Weasel: bass
Liz Aday: background vocals

Music and lyrics: Aki Virtanen

HATE

A man with a flower in his hand
finds his woman in bed with another man.

A woman does the childcare and housework and finds lipstick stain on her husbands shirt.

And the anger blows up, blood preassure gets high, eyes get blinded, muscles get tight.

Chorus: HATE, HATE, love turns to hate.
HATE, HATE, it all turns to hate.

A politician tells the Government cares but he never really does his share.

A priest tells us donts and dos, but he is found guilty for child abuse.

And the anger blows up...

Chorus: HATE, HATE...

Solo...

Lying and cheating, so empty words, caused by people, the truth always hurts.

Chorus: HATE, HATE...

Here is the first mastered song for the new album, and probably the only one that you can download from anywhere as a complete full version. Intoxicated is kind of a "bonus track" of the album. It was not originally planned to record for the album, but we decided to add it, because it sounded nicely "disturbed" and "strange".

INTOXICATED

"I am, what I am, I dont give a damn, Intoxicated, intoxicated.

My mind, is flying high, Trying to reach the sky, Intoxicated, intoxicated.

I got, what I got, I dont give a fuck, Intoxicated, intoxicated.

I am, what I am, Motherfuckers, I dont give a damn,
Intoxicated, intoxicated.

My soul, my body, I could be anybody, Intoxicated, intoxicated.

Run fast, die slow, What next, I dont know, Intoxicated, intoxicated.

Fuck this, fuck that, In the end it aint that bad,
Intoxicated, intoxicated.

I am too far, Trying to find the next bar, Intoxicated, intoxicated.

I am, so wasted, I am intoxicated,
Intoxicated, intoxicated.

Hey babe, can ya take it, When I am intoxicated, Intoxicated, intoxicated.
