After much acrimony, however, Dominik van Reich quit the band to start his own project amGod, while Peter Devin took the yelworC name and worked on a variety of tracks. Due to a variety of factors (a house fire, the death of his mother, dissatisfaction with record labels), he postponed the release of what was to become the second LP Trinity (a release inspired by Dante's Inferno) until 2004.
Devin is currently working on the follow-ups to Trinity, which are described as inspired by the other stories of Dante's Divine Comedy: Purgatory and Heaven.

Curse
YelworC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moments of silence in your brain
No reflect under lightning of soul
Soul and hate
Burn out in moments of suspense
My de-lightning under act of heaven
Sensual lips, naked eyes, in legion of sacrifice
Obscene kick, in heat of night
Tomorrow, maybe you sac... sac... sac... sacrifice
Reflecting skin in overcome of idea
Dun of vice in avalanche of sacrifice
Transmit the notion of decept
Burn out, burn out, burn out for suspense
From inside you swear the pressure
Under lightning of guilt
Burn down your depression
Under lightning of curse, curse, curse, curse
Sensual lips, naked eyes, in legion of sacrifice
Reflecting skin, overcome my brain
Now, the moment
Maybe you guilt, maybe you guilt
Maybe you guilt
Now
Maybe you dream, maybe you dream
Maybe you dream, dream forever
Dun of vice in avalanche of sacrifice
Reflecting skin in overcome of idea
Burn down, burn down, burn down
Burn down my instinct under human flesh
Tomorrow the legion in your space
Tomorrow maybe you alone
The song "Curse" by YelworC explores the complex emotions of hate, guilt, and sacrifice. The lyrics suggest that there are moments in life when we feel overwhelmed by negative emotions and we struggle to find a way out of them. The opening line, "Moments of hate," sets the tone, suggesting that the song will delve into the darker aspects of the human psyche. The following line, "Moments of silence in your brain," suggests that the singer is struggling to find balance and inner peace in the face of these negative emotions.
The chorus, "Sensual lips, naked eyes, in legion of sacrifice," adds a layer of complexity to the song. The idea of sacrifice is often associated with religious or spiritual contexts, but here it seems to suggest something more primal and carnal. The use of the word "legion" suggests a sense of camaraderie or group dynamics, which could mean that the sacrifice is being made either for the benefit of others or in order to fit in with a social group.
The final lines of the song, "Burn down, burn down, burn down / Burn down my instinct under human flesh / Tomorrow the legion in your space / Tomorrow maybe you alone," suggest that the singer realizes the futility of trying to escape negative emotions. Instead, they seem resigned to accepting that tomorrow, the same feelings will still be there, and that they may ultimately be alone in their struggle.

I really miss this sound. It had an authenticity that not many industrial bands could master. Very few achieved this darker, more sinister tone.

This whole album and the Blood In Face EP are classics!
