In July 2004, returning after a 13 year absence, the Salvation's Answer-era re-formed as Against Nature and began writing and rehearsing new music. The fun quickly turned into a serious artistic commitment, and the band recorded two discs' worth of music, "Appease" and "Panoply," at one studio session in May 2005. On a creative drive that has not subsided to this day, the band recorded their next three discs in quick succession: "Safe Dissonance," "Ghosting," and "Leer," all released in 2006.
Against Nature has played the Templars of Doom II festival in Indianapolis, the Doom Shall Rise IV festival in Germany, the Stoner Hands of Doom VII festival in Mesa, AZ, the Doomed to Fall festival in San Antonio, TX in 2006, and the Doom or Be Doomed festival (hosted and organized by John Brenner and Josh Hart) in Baltimore, MD in 2007.
And that is just what Against Nature plays: doom metal, in the tradition of such classic Maryland bands as The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, Asylum, and Pentagram. Mix in a liberal helping of Black Sabbath, Trouble, 70s rock, and the progressive rock of Rush, and you'll have a good idea of Against Nature's musical vision.

The Need
Against Nature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think I'll weep
Fool me not
Give me that patience
Bear it tamely
The terrors of the earth
O Fool
The Need by Against Nature is a song that speaks about the struggle of keeping up with one's expectations and the need to be patient amidst the difficulties faced in life. The opening line, "A hundred thousand flaws", refers to the many imperfections that one may have and the feeling of inadequacy that comes with it. The next line, "You think I'll weep", is a statement of defiance against those who doubt the singer's strength and ability to handle their own struggles.
The chorus, "Fool me not, give me that patience, bear it tamely, the terrors of the earth", is a plea for strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The singer asks not to be fooled by their own doubts and fears, and instead, requests patience to face the challenges that come their way. The final line, "O Fool", is directed at the self, reminding the singer not to give in to their own insecurities.
The song is a poignant reminder that in life, struggles are inevitable, but one must find the strength to face them with patience and resilience. It is a call to action for people to not give up in the face of adversity and to stay true to oneself.

I once always thought that nature and genetics was only physical like eye color, hair color, height, and weight! But it certainly is confusing and surprising to find out that mental illnesses and brain is also genetics and chromosomes! That was mostly from another video on mind and behavior!

I was dreading watching this because it’s for History but I can honestly say I enjoyed it. Like I thought hair length was affected by both genetics and environmental impact but I just figured out I was wrong

What I understand from this video and very little research, is that Genetics and Environment are not completely and necessary different, actually both work together to develop an individual personality, for example, if someone inherited an aggressive trait from their parents, they're more likely to have this particular life experience and this are the situations where a person develops different personalities. Am I at least 1% right on this? lol or am I completely wrong?

Interesting! My exposure to nature vs nurture was nature being your environmental exposure and nurture being influence from a nurturing influence.
