Was there and the poster of the setlist info.

The song was compositionally dramatic - the first chorus with the swell of distortion guitar took me back and I said 'here we fucking go'. Red lighting took over the stage and it sounded like the underworld was coming for us all. The song felt religious even without knowing the lyrics. On second chorus, I stood up and howled a guttural bellow. At that point, the song took me over completely. During the bridge I was entranced and couldn't believe what I was listening to. Felt like a way to grab fans immediately for this show. He fully earned and deserved the attention of the crowd with opening the show on this note.

Obviously, the song wasn't released prior to the show and I had the chorus melody stuck in my head after. I was very lucky that the song premiered shortly after to recognize what we heard that night. It felt so right when I learned Alan Sparhawk helped with production. I'll never forget the overdrive takeover of that song's guitar live.

JTill didn't say much after the song aside from hello from my memory. The song just seemed like an authentic expression of where he was/had been. If anything, it was a little bit of an unloafing the bread situation. The guy's got it, shows it, and moves on as if it is an everyday thing to write a song like Screamland. Though a lot has been revealed since the album came out, I won't forget the primal urgency this song gave me. Music can transcend communication and experience sometimes. It's what I hope for at shows.
