| Sonically the song promotes a feeling of marching into battle. The brutal attack of guitars and drums on this song were what inspired the title. The challenge on this track was to capture vocally what had been done with the music. Vocalist, Keith Jenkins, had to psychologically prepare for the vocal sessions on this song like a soldier preparing for battle. After the music was completely tracked, the songs creator, Jason Dziak added his voice with the chanted part in the bridge of the song. The lines repeated over the echoing guitar lines further illustrate Jenkins' lyrical vision of the song. Drummer, Mark Kovitya was recruited to help with the screaming background vocals after the last chorus to send the song off in it's proper form.

| This song had become a mainstay of the Stepford live set over the past year. It's rumbling drum patterns and punch driven bass lines carry the rhythmic guitar hooks through the binding of Jenkins vocal melodies. Vocalist Ashleigh Long, who appears on Showing Through, was brought in to echo the chorus parts. At the suggestion of producer, Neal Schmitt, the melody was changed at the last minute. Later the band decided to drop Ashleigh's vocal as they were unsure of the new melody. Keith recorded a new two part harmony that you hear featured on the album version of the track. The version of the song with Ashleigh's vocal may appear as a future b-side or feature on a compilation cd. |
