The Icarus Descent - Deprivation

Originally performed at an all covers set we performed at a benefit for Habitat for Humanity, this is our cover (though just a quick demo version) of Body Count's 'Cop Killer.' JamieFIX provides backing vocals.

Cop Killer (demo)

A statement against organized religion. Lyrics to this (and all other songs) will be provided if anybody is interested.

The SR National Anthem. Performed at every single SR show to date (aside from one where we were cut short, screwing us out of almost half of our set). This is SR at it's finest (this far anyway). Eat Fucking Brains...
