Tobey Torres sang on their debut album Sonic Jihad. After the first tour, Torres and Slater had a falling out, resulting in Torres leaving the band. Martina Axen (formerly of Drain STH) was brought on to perform live when SRC played a tour opening for Queensrÿche. While she was set to be the new official vocalist (going so far as to record on demos for the new album), an announcement was made on May 4th, 2006 that Tobey and Jason had reconciled and were back recording together with the intentions of releasing a new album in the Summer of 2007. This sudden and unexpected turn of events was well received by fans.
On September 4th, 2006, four months after returning to Snake River Conspiracy, Tobey Torres posted on her myspace blog that "I have once again chosen to disassociate myself from Snake River Conspiracy" and thanked fans for their support. Two days later, band guitarist Mitch Doran posted a message on the SRC forums that he had decided to leave the band as well. No official reason has been given for the second falling out. Jason Slater, who typically keeps fans apprised of the ongoings of the band via myspace and the SRC forums, has remained quiet on the situation as well as the status of the material that had been recorded during the brief reconciliation.
Jason Slater started working on SRC2 again in 2012 and continued to work on the album throughout the rest of the 2010s. In 2012 Tobey Torres and Mitchell Doran formed a new band called Mojave Phone Booth, and in 2016 Slater reconnected with Torres again through Doran. Slater planned to release a new Snake River Conspiracy album sometime in 2014, as well as release a vinyl version of Sonic Jihad with alternate/original mixes and a B-sides compilation titled B-Sides and Bullshit, but due to Slater's health struggles work on these projects slowed. On December 9, 2020, Slater died of liver failure, effectively ending the band
In July 2022, Torres and Mitchell Doran launched a new Instagram account for Snake River Conspiracy, announcing that new music from the band will be released in 2023.
In November 2022, Mitchell Doran alleged that Jason Slater had stolen several compositions that were written by other Snake River Conspiracy members during the SRC2 recording sessions, and reused them with other bands he produced. This account was corroborated in interviews given by original SRC guitarist Geoff Tyson and also in Facebook posts made by Jason Slater himself.
Homicide
Snake River Conspiracy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make your stand on broken feet
You can't hit what you cant see
What was once again will be
CHORUS
Get my ride on
Get my motherfuckin' homicide on
4X
(rap part)
Fools real to the wheels
But now I got my specks
Now it's time I pulled the game
And check don't let me pull my Cheque
You can't ride with the one - you don't know me
All the niggers like Hooper went homicidal with Tobey
Hey you
You puss cant fuck with me
You puss cant fuck with me
(rap part)
Close your eyes
Shut your mouth
Stop crying like a bitch
Take it like a man
Show some love or make it quit
Have a fag pissin' in a bag dressed in drag
Otherwise you'll wear a motherfuckin' toe tagg
(Audio apoclypse sound Armageddon)
CHORUS
Audio apoclypse sound Armageddon
4X
Beauty's only knee deep
Ugly's to the core
Take your thanks and compliments
And fuck yourself some more
CHORUS/OUTRO
(thanks to the SRC messageboard)
The lyrics to Snake River Conspiracy's "Homicide" paint a vivid picture of a violent, aggressive individual who revels in destruction. The opening lines describe someone who appears outwardly confident but is actually falling apart ("crooked teeth" and "broken feet"). The lyrics suggest that this person is impossible to defeat because they are too unpredictable and violent ("you can't hit what you can't see"). The chorus repeats the phrase "Get my rid on, get my motherfucking homicide on," a clear indication that the song is about someone who is preparing to commit murder. This person seems to relish the idea of taking someone else's life and takes pleasure in the power it gives them.
The rap interlude is particularly chilling, as the singer brags about how they have obtained "specs" (presumably a reference to glasses or binoculars) that will help them "pull the game" and identify their victims. They speak of others who have gone "homicidal," implying that they see this behavior as just another part of life. The lyrics are peppered with derogatory terms for various groups of people, including racial slurs and homophobic insults. The overall effect is incredibly disturbing, creating a character who is violent, bigoted, and completely devoid of empathy.
The song ends with a series of ominous lines that suggest that the world is about to come to an end. The "audio apocalypse sound Armageddon" is repeated four times, as if signaling the end of days. The final lines suggest that beauty is only skin-deep and that the true ugliness lies within. This reinforces the idea that the character in the song is a monster hiding behind a facade of confidence and charm.
