Winner of the Ministry - Psalm 69 Remake Contest is ....

Brian of Euphonic Dissonance with news on the results of the Ministry|Tunecore|Fix - Remake Psalm 69 Contest ....

The winners for the Ministry|Tunecore|Fix - Remake Psalm 69 Contest have been announced and sorry to say it's not Euphonic Dissonance. Yeah, I know - bummer huh? It's okay though. We were so excited to be able to work on the music of this impressive industrial rock band. Ministry defines industrial rock and we can't wait to see the new documentary movie when it comes out in theaters.



So who won? The prize - be featured on Fix: The Ministry Movie soundtrack -- goes to --- BOTH Deadly Apples from Canada and Voltergeist from Scotland. Wow, we only expected one band to win but they throw us this crazy curveball. Two bands will be featured on the album. Voltergeist's take on the song is titled 69 Psalmpled. This half-time dub stomper will lull you off into a world where the sheeple happily accept their fate. It's quite an entrancingly dark track. Great work Voltergeist.

Unfortunately, at the time of posting this blog - I've been unable to find Deadly Apples version of the song anywhere on the internet. Please leave a comment if you know the location of their song.

Don't fret Euphonic Dissonance fans - the life of our version of the song is far from over. I felt rushed in creating the mix of this song because we waited until the last minute and were up against a deadline. I think the song can be vastly improved and maybe included on the upcoming Tech Messiah album. Wouldn't that be cool? Or perhaps re-released when the FIX movie comes out. Also cool. Who knows what will happen but you can expect to hear this song again and it will improve. Psalm 69 - ReWired Sheep may still find a higher place in the progressive industrial works of Euphonic Dissonance. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Feb15, 2011 - Tunecore has posted a blog on the winners and there is a link to the Deadly Apples version of the song there. CLICK HERE to check it out.

Vaccinations : Really Zombie Mind Control

Ask yourself the following question: Is it possible that a secret organization might be trying to reprogram your internal matrix by adding nanotechnology to your vaccinations and flu shots? Could that ever happen?



No! Sounds silly doesn't it? But then you start to think about how the FDA keeps failing the american people and you begin to wonder. You look at the destroyed economy - the world collapsing around you - driving by so many empty buildings - entire towns looking like desolate zombie wastelands. When will this madness end??!!! And then you start to think it just might be possible - someone could place subtle messages delivered to our lazy human brains inside a syringe allowing it to be injected directly into our bodies via the common flu shot. The flu shot that the media keeps telling you is absolutely essential for your survival. Why are they in such a hurry? What's their motivation?

And then the birds begin to fall from the sky - dead!!! And then the fish. And then you read this...

From The Bohol Standard Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines

WARNING: Drug Cartel behind spread of HINI Virus?

**World leading drug-industry investigators have uncovered stunning documents proving an international drug ring, operating from New York City, is behind the H1N1 swine flu fright and vaccination preparations.

Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, America's leading consumer health expert, and Sherri Kane, an investigative journalist, have released shocking proof in legal affidavits that leaders of a private global biotechnology "trust" are behind everything you ever heard about pandemic flu, including its origin and alleged prevention via vaccinations. Their documents, being sent by attorneys to the FBI this week, evidence powerful industrialists are operating a crime ring within the "Partnership for New York City " (PNYC), and are behind the pandemic's creation, media persuasions, vaccination preparations, and health official promotions seen everywhere from supermarkets to health clinics.**

And then you stop and realize that the war has already begun. The Tech Messiah is inside of everyone. Anyone who has received a inoculation or injection of any kind can now be remapped - redesigned - reprogrammed. They can be turned into Nano Controlled Zombies at the flip of a switch.

Scary, huh? Let's all take a moment to relax - sit back and enjoy the soothing sounds of progressive industrial band Euphonic Dissonance. Now take a deep breath - try to focus - cause we gotta get more ammo before the zombies arrive.

First TECH MESSIAH ZOMBIE seen in Louisiana

Euphonic Dissonance brings you the hot breaking news from the front of the TECH MESSIAH conflict.

We now have pictorial evidence of the existence of TECH MESSIAH zombies. This first picture was taken in Louisiana. We call these poor creatures INQUISITOR ZOMBIES. Their only purpose in life is to expose those who don't support the TECH MESSIAH movement. Bringing heretics back to council so that they can be brought to confession.



This picture was caught on a hunter's deer-cam. He chooses to remain anonymous but says the pic was taken on a reserve in Berwick near Morgan City. The viewer says the cam itself was busted when it was found, but the SIM card was still in it and so was this image. CLICK HERE to see the original news blog.

As the Tech Messiah rises you can expect to hear more of these sitings in the future. We will keep you updated on all these new events as they unfold. Thanks for reading our blog and be sure to download our music so that you'll have it to listen to during the apocalypse.

New Updated Song Lyrics for CONTAGION - a song about zombies

Brian brings us a new Euphonic Dissonance song in the works - - -

Well, it's almost finished. The song lyrics for our zombie anthem are almost finished. Sarah will be adding her part to this song and then the lyrics will be complete. We're all excited to see what she produces. Once this is completed we can move on to recording the vocals. Those of you that are fans of the zombie genre (i.e. - The Walking Dead, 28 Days Later, Dawn Of The Dead, Dead Rising) - you are going to love this song.



This song's lyrics are more akin to 28 Days Later because in our story it's all about a weird infectious disease spreading through the population and turning them into zombies - but there's a twist - and we're not gonna tell you exactly what it is just yet. Care to venture a guess?

Here are the lyrics to date. The song is now properly called CONTAGION.

CONTAGION (unfinished)

VERSE #1

A pattern of unusual illness
The news warned us
No one listened
A communicable disease they said
Person to person they said
Fluid – skin – inhalation they said
Symptoms within ten minutes
We’ve gotta get out of here
Full infestation in fifteen
Gotta get out of here
Spread of contamination
Rise in investigation
Fever, fatigue, cough, chest pain
Then you change
It’s happening everywhere
A nationwide scare
Bioelectric robotic microsurgery
Nano-machines in living cells
And I don’t want to change
Don’t want to be one of those things

VERSE #2

Pack food, water, supplies
They run fast
Gotta keep it light
Only the things we need to survive
Flashlight, first aid kit, army knife
Lots of guns and ammo
Maybe steal us a sweet ride
Batteries and hand crank radio
Gotta stay alive
Mostly travel at night
Sneak around
Stay out of sight
We should have seen this coming
Should have seen the signs
Many gave themselves freely
To be redesigned
With promises of better lifestyle
Better health
Better living
We took it all in stride
Now we struggle to survive
Civilization takes a dive
Afraid I’m losing my mind
They try to get in from the outside
Move to higher ground
Find a place to hide
Hermetical seal
Board up the windows
Lock ourselves inside
Synthetic technology
Reprogram your thinking
Oh babe, I don’t want to change
Don’t want to be one of those things

VERSE #3

Let’s get out
Before they shut down this town
Witness societies breakdown
Sick people line the streets
People kill for something to eat
Don’t stop moving
Constant threat
Point and click
Either them or us
Keep your eyes open
Look for signs – symptoms
Computer controlled dosing
Reprogram thinking
Alterations of the mind
Remove some of the safeties
Out of our senses
Now out of control
Our creation destroys us
And rightfully so
Bioelectric robotic implant
Nano-machines inside
And I don’t want to change
Don’t want to be one of those things

CHORUS

Dance
I’m on fire
And this city will burn

Well, there you have it. The almost finished lyrics for Euphonic Dissonance's new zombie anthem. Please, leave a comment and tell us what you think.

Euphonic Dissonance re-imagines Ministry’s Psalm 69 FINALE

Brian brings an update on the re-imagining of Ministry's Psalm 69 song...



CLICK HERE to hear a preview of PSALM 69 - REWIRED SHEEP on iTunes


New years eve was a nightmare. I went to bed at about 6am after working on this song all night and then woke up around noon on new years eve to give it a fresh listen and submit the song into the contest. December 31st was the deadline for the contest .... and yes, we waited until the final day to submit the song. We'll be entering this song into a Tunecore.com contest. Winner will be featured on the upcoming soundtrack for the movie FIX (a documentary on Ministry). Former Ministry bassist Paul Barker will be picking the best song. No pressure - right?



So here it is - DEADLINE DAY - I give the song a listen - make some final tweaks to the mix - and go to submit the song to tunecore / itunes.

Keep in mind folks - I had very little sleep. I somehow missed the part on tunecore's website where I was supposed to enter the code ministry. This probably flags the administrator to put your single into the contest. Naturally, upon realizing my mistake, I try to contact tunecore to fix the problem. Unfortunately, it's new years eve and they are closed. Can't reach them on the phone or via email and they won't return until January 3rd. OH NO!!! According to tunecore's website the contest is judged on January 2nd. Now - I PANIC!!! In my sleep deprived state I panic. After screaming at my computer and getting no response I make a phone call to Sarah and we decided to simply submit the song a second time under a slightly different name. Psalm 69 - ReWired Sheep became Psalm 69 - Sheep ReWired and this time we submitted it into the British iTunes store rather than the American iTunes store (where we submitted originally). This time I actually got the code in and all was good in the world. We lost an extra 10 dollars but it was worth it. A lot of hard work went into this track and I wasn't willing to give up on an opportunity for Paul Barker to hear our track.

We're very happy to have had a chance to work on such an amazing song. This has been an experience I won't soon forget - even if it was an extremely stressful one in the end. I want to thank tunecore.com and Paul Barker of Ministry for giving us this chance. I haven't found anything on tunecore that says when they will announce the winner of this contest but rest assured we will keep you updated. Wish us luck.

And to our fans - thanks for all your support.

Euphonic Dissonance re-imagines Ministry’s Psalm 69 Part 5

Brian brings an update on the recording of Ministry's PSALM 69 - RE-IMAGINED...

If you like this blog then you should SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG



Here are the FINISHED LYRICS for the re-imagined PSALM 69 song we're going to be submitting into this fine contest put together by Tunecore and Ministry. We've only got until friday of this week to finish this track so we're working hard to pull it all together.

Working on this track - I've been surprised to find that I misunderstood many of the samples. For instance - what I thought was "fire - god's dreamer" is actually "liar - blasphemer". How did I screw that up?

I'm working on the vocals now so you can expect to hear something new and exciting tomorrow. It's really almost done!!!!

LYRICS FOR PSALM 69 - RE-IMAGINED



Verse 1

They march up and down the street
Planting their feet
One foot in front of the other
Can you hear me brother?

Do you bear the mark?
If not they’ll drag you off

Make you understand
His master plan
The body of christ looked unto me
He made them better than man
And now they preach unto thee
Of the great short attention span



Verse 2

Wish we could turn back the clock
Before they fed us this crock
Should have saved Assange
They were the chosen ones

Have you prayed today?
Get on your knees and pray

Humble yourself before the messiah
Learn your place – call him sire
In his name we maim
With christ to conspire
Learning to prowl in his name
More souls to acquire
Taking their message door to door
Find out what you stand for
Promises of everlasting life
But at what price?

Verse 3

They call it war
A war that we pay for
A fight to stop heresy
Not written but spoken decree

Please present i.d.
Before we make you bleed

Listen to the words of our lord
Learn to fight with his sword
They tend to the sheep
Wiring up the flock
Their minds are asleep
They feel a mild shock
Focus their weary mind
Mission so defined
Promise to live forever
With no proof whatsoever

Hook

Revolution comes
New world
New order
Psalm 69
