* Fireaxe’s ''Music/FoodForTheGods'' depicts life - all life - as a never-ending, brutal struggle. The fate of humanity is to careen from one brutal god or ideology to the next, murdering each other en masse. Ultimately, humanity destroys itself to put an end to it all. After a life in this world, your reward is likely to be eternal torment in hell. The ''best'' outcome is for God to destroy the universe and fail to make another one.
