INSIDE STUDIO - NEW SONG "MINISTRY OF HATE" NOW POSTED | HEAR IT HERE

Brian Copeland of Euphonic Dissonance gives a progress report on the recording of the TECH MESSIAH album.

Here is a brand new track for your listening pleasure. This one has already been compared to the vocal stylings of Marilyn Manson. I can hear that. I'm flattered. Did you know that Marilyn's real name is Brian?

Once again we revisit a very Orwellian theme with this song. I suppose it should sit side-by-side with the 1984 track. However, there is more to the message of this song than just a reference to the writings of George Orwell.



There is a sense of loss of individuality. That which is not understood must be destroyed. It is a rant about the misuse of power by our government for all the wrong causes!!! That's what this song is about and if you haven't figured it out already - I have strong feelings about this subject matter.

That being said ..... this song has more in common with the BBC series "The Prisoner".



Here's the lyrics for you....

MINISTRY OF HATE


© 2009 Euphonic Dissonance

Verse 1


Clinically adjusted

Obedient and trusted

Hearts in mainline

Critically designed

I fashion you to be one of us

I pattern you to be one of us

Step back in line

Lock step in time

Identify now what you are

We know he’s observing

Our way of life he’s preserving

I fit you in to be one of us

I fix you to be part of us

Verse 2


Hook up – Jack in

Just a taste - Then you’ll feel embraced

We fashion you to be one of us

We pattern you to be one of us

Flashing lights captivate you

Find yourself passing through

Formation in time

Lock step in line

We know he’s monitoring

To him we cling

We fit you in to be one of us

We fix you to be one with us

Can’t you feel it slipping in

Piercing through your skin

We fashion you to be one of us

We pattern you to be part of us

Verse 3


How frail is the human eye

How small is our piece of pie

But that’s about to change

Nothing will ever be the same

We fashion you to be all of us

We pattern you to be one with us

Step back in line

Lock step in time

We look the same

We act the same

I force you till you’re one with us

I fix you to be all of us

Our heart’s receiving

In him believing

We know he’s observing

Our way of life preserving

I’ll kick your head in till you’re one with us

I’ll beat you down till you’re part of us

Hook


You belong here

Welcome to the Ministry of Hate

Our mission is quite clear

We are the Ministry of Hate

Those people there – they don’t look straight

Introduce them to the Ministry of Hate

We belong here

Hello from the Ministry of Hate

Our goal is crystal clear

We are the Ministry of Hate

Only safe thing to do is discriminate

Show them freaks the Ministry of Hate

YOUR’E TYPE WE DON’T TOLERATE !!!!!

As always ... we hope you enjoy the new song. Please leave us luscious comments.

Euphonic Dissonance do "One Night In Bangkok" by Murray Head / Abba?

Brian Copeland of Euphonic Dissonance talks about covering the song "One Night In Bangkok" by Murray Head:

In 1984 the concept album for the musical CHESS was released. Its music was composed by former ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with lyrics written by Tim Rice. The single "One Night In Bangkok (click here to hear original on youtube)" from this album peaked at #3 on the Canada and U.S. charts.

chess - murray head - one night in bangkok

This song caught my attention almost immediately. I loved it - plain and simple. At the time of its release I had no idea that Abba was involved with writing the song. I had no idea that it was about chess. All I knew was that the song was incredibly catchy and I loved listening to the track when it popped up on the radio. I think I've wanted to perform this song ever since.

The song would go on to become a cult favorite of certain dance clubs in the early 90's. It was still there haunting me with it's catchy spoken lyrics and the Abba like hook. This song just wouldn't go away. Why won't it just leave me alone??!!!

26 years after the original release of this song Euphonic Dissonance gives you their spin on this cult classic. Now, this is only a rough draft of the song and we haven't had the chance to finish the vocals on the hook/chorus due to seasonal allergies (seasonal allergies is the reason god made oklahoma)..... we'll get those done soon. Until then here is a sneak- peak at this new piece.
