Ever wonder why Soundgarden has been labeled a metal band? If so then this should remove all doubt. The quartet from Seattle released their proto sludge metal debut in 1988 with a few proto-doom and punk songs thrown in for good measure. With an opening album this powerful, it's no wonder Soundgarden achieved such success.
Line-up:
Chris Cornell - Vocals/Guitar
Kim Thayil - Guitar
Hiro Yamamoto - Bass
Matt Cameron - Drums
Lyrics:
Far beyond the road
Between your house and home
There is a churning storm
Of hailing burning bones
Tiny baby cries
Little, tiny pawn
In the profit gain
Tiny baby grows
Mother, who's your man
Is he doing what he can
To make a proper home, home
By overturning other stones, stones
Father, mighty man
Loves his little boys, boys
Shows them how to kill
To save his precious stones, stones
Far beyond the wheel
It steers your life around
We're driving flesh and blood
Deep into the ground, ground
Far beyond the wheel
It steers your life around
We're driving flesh and blood
Deep into the ground, ground
