Skrew

SKREW is an influential industrial metal band. Formed in 1990 and disbanded in 1998, the group announced its return in 2009.

Biography

Skrew was formed in 1990 in Austin, Texas, by Adam Grossman and Danny Lohner. The band rose from the ashes of crossover thrash band Angkor Wat, of which Grossman and Lohner were members. Skrew recruited Al Jourgensen of Ministry, to record and produce its 1991 debut album Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame. The album fared well commercially (out-selling every debut on the Metal Blade catalog) and received high praise from critics. It was during this period that Lohner left the band initially auditioning for the Red Hot Chili Peppers before being hired by Nine Inch Nails.

Skrew proceeded to work on its second release, Dusted, which was released in 1994. This album saw the addition of keyboardist Jim Vollentine, who would remain with the band through 1998. Like its predecessor, Dusted was highly praised by critics and fans, and is still considered a classic in field of industrial metal by many fans of the genre. Commercially, however, it was less successful than Burning.

Sour

by: Skrew

Crawling the edge of my imagination
Sour hatred heavy on my breath
Rat in my belly gnawing hungry
Hungry for my head
Dusty ghost in my mind
Stroking ego cracked long ago
Cracked and broken now
Broken like the mind of a man feasting on the dirt and pain of a life, of a life lived wrong
Broken like the soul of a priest whose faith is burned by the sight of the famine his church feeds on
Cracked and broken like the hands of a clock but time, time moves on
However sour the lives lived long
There's a hole in my heart
My blood slowly slips away
There's a hole in my soul
My faith slowly slips away
There's a hole in my mind
My sanity slowly slips away
There's a hole in my world
My life slowly slips away
Crippled and sour now
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my heart
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my head
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my soul
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my world
My world collapse around life
Swimming the troubled sea of tears alive
Sour hatred heavy in my heart
Weighing me down, pulling me down
Restful peace awaiting me
Restful peace on the ocean floor
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my heart
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my head
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my soul
Crippled and sour now
I will rot in this cage that is my world
Crippled and sour now
