Oh My God(‘s Cold Hands), This New Nails Song
Do not listen to the new Nails song, “God’s Cold Hands,” until you have firmly affixed some padding to your ass — for the track shall most surely knock you down upon it. It’s just so fucking nasty, y’know? It’s basically like someone strapped a bunch of sharp rocks around their fists, and then proceeded to beat you senseless with said rock-fists. This is the soundtrack to someone receiving severe brain damage or having their face made to look like this poor lady. There is absolutely nothing pleasant about this song, and I mean that as high praise.
Bonus: it has a sweet elephants marching riff near the end.
