Can't find an album version on Youtube, but this live version is just as intense. Skip to about 1:00 if you don't want to listen to the singer rant about Jesus. Fun fact: the band broke up for the first time when that guy went crazy and fled to Iceland in order to escape the coming nuclear holocaust. This was almost as good as when he went crazy and supposedly hired a hitman to kill one of the people who worked at his record company (he called it off at the last minute).


You should check out their 2006 album Hosannas From the Basement of Hell, it has a similar vibe although I think leans more towards sludge/ drone at times. I think "Walking With Gods" is probably the most similar sounding song to "Asteroid"



Also, welcome to the fold.
