BLOODBATH’S “EATEN” IS THE BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN ABOUT BEING EATEN

This whole record is so good – too bad the band has pretty much splintered by now, and the DVD of their one live performance (Wacken 2005, with Mikael back on vocals) seems eternally delayed.
In the past year I have been trying to convince everyone I know that this song is one of the best moments in Metal of the past decade. I make comp CDs for people solely because I want to somehow slip this song into their collection. I adore this track. And the rest of the album is great too.
My one desire, is to be eaten. Now that’s unique. It’s a great song, but even if you don’t like it, you have to give it up for something a bit out of the norm.
