This is picking up a bit now – or at least getting more noteworthy, with a cover of Paranoid’s Hand of Doom that’s heavy on Sabbath’s long, almost minimalistic verses in that song. And Ænema flows out of it, cleverly forming a continuum of war-paranoia from the Sabbath material: “Some say the end is near / Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon / I certainly hope we will / I sure could use a vacation from this / bullshit three-ring
circus sideshow of freaks.”
