1. Nausea was an American crust punk band from New York City's C-Squat in the Lower Eastside of Manhattan, from 1985-1992. Like such predecessors as the anarchist band Crass, Nausea featured both male and female vocals. They were heavily involved in the Lower East Side squatting community, and active during a dark period in American history, under the right-wing purgatory of the Reagan Administration amidst the "Arms Race", the Iran-Contra Affair and imminent threats of nuclear war with the USSR. Nausea's final line-up was: John John Jesse (bass), Victor Venom (guitar), Amy Miret (vocals), Al Long (vocals), and Roy Mayorga (drums). Past members were Neil Robinson (vocals, 1987-88; replaced by Al), Pablo Jacobson (drums, 1985-87), and Jimmy Williams(drums, 1987-88).
2. Nausea are a grindcore/death metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1987 featuring Oscar Garcia of Terrorizer
Born from the ashes of Majesty, they are not a side project of Terrorizer (as many think incorrectly), but a definite band. When Terrorizer broke up in early 1988 Nausea was in fully active. In fact World Downfall was recorded posthumously one year later and contained some Nausea songs that Oscar took to complete the album ('Corporation Pull-in', 'Need to Live', 'Condemned System' and the title track 'World Downfall' that was in origin a Majesty song).
They split-up in 1994 and reformed in 2001.
3. Also a Belgian coldwave band.
"Then the Nausea seized me, I dropped to a seat, I no longer knew where I was; I saw the colours spin slowly around me, I wanted to vomit. And since that time, the Nausea has not left me, it holds me.""
4. Thrash hardcore/punk rock band from Japan, active in late 80s – early 90s. See also: Naüsea.

Nausea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't own my soul
You've tried to soak our brains to waste
With holy water in a silver bowl
Beware of your godhood
For soon they shall rebel
You've stabbed us with your sacred cross
And blessed us with this living hell
Your pious solve their problems with their guns
Lord, god, father and son
Why must I hang upon a cross for the sins I've never done
Beware of your godhood
For soon they will rebel
We'll break your chains
I'll not burn in your living hell
The lyrics of Nausea's song "Godless" are a critique of organized religion and its harmful impact on individuals and society as a whole. The singer rejects the idea of a higher power determining one's fate and views it as a way to control and manipulate people. They refuse to be bound by the chains of a religion that they do not believe in and reject the idea that they are inherently sinful.
The song also tackles the issue of violence and conflict that sometimes arise from religious beliefs. The singer calls out the hypocrisy of those who claim to be religious and yet use violence to solve their problems. They also express frustration at being judged for the sins of others, and the idea that one can only be redeemed through suffering on a cross.
Overall, "Godless" is a powerful commentary on the negative aspects of organized religion, and the harm it can cause when taken to extremes. It encourages listeners to think critically about the role of religion in their lives and to reject anything that does not align with their personal beliefs and values.

I was the roadie for Nausea. This footage was shot in Gronigen, Holland in 1991. It was a community center/TV studio. I remember they fed us a great meal.
