one etc. We think that bands like MURDER ONE,WOMB OF MAGGOTS,STATION ELEVEN
have a lot to give in the scene…

CONTAINS NO LYRICS. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LYRICS AND WHERE ARE THEY

Singer,now drummer of ethereal).They referring to battles of angels and
demons and to powers that the human mind cannot even think of…MACHINE MX3
