'Cryptorchild' from the album Antichrist Svperstar by Marilyn Manson.
It's pretty tepid considering the current extremity of music that I listen to but this is the song that set me on the metal path. I picked up the album at complete random and when I threw it on I hated the vocals and ended up skipping the first few tracks. But when I landed on this creepy b*stard of a song I took notice. I restarted the album, picked up the lyrics booklet and never looked back.
Mazza may class himself as an “artist” rather than a musician these days but back before his head disappeared up his own arse he created some pretty memorable albums that, while mainstream, still possessed the genuine depth that has attracted me to metal ever since.
