Note: This is a Track by Track guide by Tom Araya/Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman for their new Album "Diabolus in Musica". This article is taken from Kerrang!

Bitter Peace - "It's a war song", says Hanneman. "It's about how I feel humans are, that we can't get along".

Stain of Mind - "It's about some fucked-up character I made up", Hanneman says.

Love to Hate - "We originally did that one for the soundtrack to the Howard Stern movie, "Private Parts", says King, but it got dumped because they needed more classic rock!"

Death's Head - "About a guy who likes killing women, then he forgets he does it", Hanneman explains.

Screaming From the Sky - "It's a song about assassin", says Araya.

Overt Enemy - "An anti-government song, an anti-people-in-authority song", says Hanneman. "It just talks about people having much power".

Scrum - "A song about rugby!", laughs King.

In the Name of God - "That's my little contribution to the Satanic underground!", King notes.

Perversions of Pain - "It's about a "Hellraiser"-type being", explains King. I didn't base it on the movie, but you could apply that to it".

Desire - "About someone who feels such a strong love for another person that he needs to slice their neck", says Araya. It's the OJ Simpson story!"

Point - "About a frontline dude, who finds mines, kill, snipers, tells people when to shut up", says King.
