* ''Children of God,'' which sounds something like the usual DroneOfDread delivered in MadnessMantra form, add Gira's recent inspiration from Evangelical preachers, and Jarboe's contrastingly melodic singing, and you get something akin to an apocalyptic tale of ReligiousHorror delivered through the narration of a preacher gone mad. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hI5Eg6Ias4 Beautiful Child]]" can really stand out, from its intro of gunshots, a frenetic drum section turning into a slow march, and a thrumming bass coupled with the deep singing and Jarboe's best approximation of an ironic choir. It swells and grows as the lyrics become more fragmented, regardless if the titular child existed and was sacrificed, or is symbolic of losing your soul, it's terrifying either way.
