Stormtroopers Of Death includes the famous Billy Milano (M.O.D.) on vocals, Scott Ian on guitar and Charlie Benante on drums (both of Anthrax fame). Also, bassist Dan Lilker has been in many other underground metal bands, including Brutal Truth, Nuclear Assault, Exit-13 and early Anthrax among others.
S.O.D. don’t always write songs to anger, but often pen lyrics to amuse. For instance, in response to their (misconstrued) earlier lyrics, S.O.D. wrote the politically-correct (and Agnostic Front-esque) We All Bleed Red: a track that condemns racists and racism. Also, S.O.D. include healthy doses of humor for the metal fan, poking fun at Slayer (Seasoning the Obese), Celtic Frost (Celtic Frosted Flakes), and King Diamond/Mercyful Fate (King at the King/Evil Is In). The cover to Bigger Than the Devil is a tribute to the classic Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden.
From The BNR Metal Pages (http://www.bnrmetal.com/):
“06/25/2002 : Following personal disputes between Billy Milano and the two Anthrax members (Scott Ian and Charlie Benante) concerning the “Behind The Music” VH-1 program on Anthrax (Milano felt that Danny Lilker was slighted) the band is once again disbanded. “
Kill the Assholes
S.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I say don't discriminate
Let's increase the hate
Manipulating governments,
The TV is their tool
God is saying just be praying
Everything is cool
Preachers praying on their flock
Shove a bull whip up your ass
Call it art, I have to laugh
Our world is run by power hungry,
Selfish, greedy pricks
They want us to divide,
Unite and turn the tide
Kill, kill, kill
Kill the assholes! kill all the assholes!
We're gonna rise, unite and turn the tide
Join in the fight, kill the assholes tonight!
Politicians, looking to get their pecker piped
Jesus freaks killing in the name of human rights
Ozone decay, what's the fucking deal
Looking for a meteor in your unhappy meal
Space ships, aliens, titanic sinks again
Peace in the middle east
When will the madness end?
Our world is run by power hungry, selfish greedy pricks
They want us to divide, unite and turn the tide
Kill, kill, kill
Kill the assholes! kill all the assholes!
We're gonna rise, unite and turn the tide
Join in the fight, kill the assholes tonight!
When the toilet is full you flush down the waste
And our toilet is full and is floating in space
We're human waste floating in space
Human waste
The lyrics of S.O.D.'s "Kill The Assholes" can be seen as a commentary on the state of the world and the people in power. The song begins with a criticism of people who hold opinions on others, and how everyone considers themselves saints. The lyrics then call for an increase in hate, which can be seen as a reaction to the manipulative governments and the power they hold over their people through the use of tools like television.
The song also takes aim at religious leaders, who are seen as preying on their flock and using their position of power to mount them on a metaphorical holy cock. This is juxtaposed with the suggestion of shoving a bullwhip up one's own ass, which is seen as a form of artistic expression but also something to laugh at. The chorus of the song calls for the killing of assholes, which can be seen as a call to action against those who abuse their power and impose their will on the people they are meant to serve.
The verses of the song continue with various criticisms of the world, including the actions of politicians and Jesus freaks killing in the name of human rights. Environmental concerns are also touched upon, with the suggestion that people are not doing enough to address the issue of ozone decay. Overall, the lyrics speak to a sense of frustration and anger at the state of the world, and the call to action to rise up and kill the assholes can be seen as a way of taking power back from those who have abused it.
