This 7" vinyl single was packaged with initial copies of the first pressing of Gold Is The Metal With The Broadest Shoulders, as was The Wheal/Keelhauler. The edition is believed to be limited to 500 copies, however the single was later included with a special edition of Gold Is The Metal With The Broadest Shoulders, which was limited to 55, so that pressing number may or may not be inclusive.
The song "The Wheel" was originally released on the compilation If You Can't Please Yourself, You Can't Please Your Soul CD and 12" vinyl. The song "The Wheal" was later released on the CD version of Gold Is The Metal With The Broadest Shoulders.
Attack!
Uncontrollable, psychotic hysteria
Driven by blood, unsatisfiable
All his victims, considered as trophies
This is his thrill, the will to kill
Extracting souls with his knife
No emotional value for life
Crimson stains cover his clothes
Remnants of who tried to oppose
Determined to commite homicides with no regrets
Forces within his mind, passion for these corrid crimes
The Will... To Kill... The Will to fucking kill
Livid fascinations, unthinkable to most
Day after day, this inner conflict grows
Now unstoppable, this storm of murder
Unidentified, bodies discovered
Morbid fanticies brought to sight
The will to kill is his life
