COMMENTS

“There was a lot of disinformation flying around during the invasion of Iraq. I was horrified by what happened. It seemed that regardless of how many of us protested, they did what they wanted. We were powerless. I wrote this song from the perspective of a soldier who had been lied to and how he must feel about it” - Shirley Manson - Rip & Burn magazine, April 2005

“I wrote this from the perspective of imagining how it must have felt to be a soldier in the coalition forces going over to Iraq under false pretences and realising once you were there that you’ve been completely lied to.” - Shirley Manson, NME

REVIEWS

On ‘Metal Heart’, the band deliver an gothic orchestral-laced track of Tim Burton proportions, sounding like an industrial version of ‘Hammering In My Head’ from their ‘Version 2.0’ album. - HMV
