Devastation – Signs of Life 1989 is 80s Texas thrash metalat its finest with some mild Christian overtones, although many argue the band is not Christian at all. The music is intense thrash bordering on death metal. Their albums have been reissued many times in subsequent years, and the band still enjoys a cult following among thrash diehards.
Kill for gain or shoot to maim But we don’t need a reason The Golden Goose is on the loose And never out of season Blackened pride still burns inside This shell of bloody treason Here’s my gun for a barrel of fun For the love of living death
[Pre-Chorus] The killer’s breed or the demon’s seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom’s stain Don’t you pray for my soul anymore?
[Chorus] Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb
[Verse 2] The blind men shout “Let the creatures out We’ll show the unbelievers” Napalm screams of human flames For a prime time Belsen feast, yeah! As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy We oil the jaws of the war machine And feed it with our babies
[Pre-Chorus] The killer’s breed or the demon’s seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom’s stain Don’t you pray for my soul anymore? See Iron Maiden Live Get tickets as low as $88

[Verse 3] The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain To put the finger right on you As the madmen play on words And make us all dance to their song To the tune of starving millions To make a better kind of gun
[Pre-Chorus] The killer’s breed or the demon’s seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom’s stain Don’t you pray for my soul anymore?
[Chorus] Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb

Black Sabbath’s – Technical Ecstasy was the last studio album with Ozzy Osborne. It is not a fan favorite but does contain the track “Dirty Women” which was included in Black Sabbath live sets all the way till the end of their career.
The album received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success, peaking at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and number 51 on the US Billboard 200 Album chart, later being certified Gold by the RIAA in 1997.
In 1992, Iommi admitted to Guitar World: “Black Sabbath fans generally don’t like much of Technical Ecstasy. It was really a no-win situation for us. If we had stayed the same, people would have said we were still doing the same old stuff. So we tried to get a little more technical, and it just didn’t work out very well.”
