“Late 2015, almost a year into the indefinite Monstro hiatus and multiple years into Hogan away in LA the time was never more ripe to brush off the cobwebs and release something fresh and reinvigorating.
With Hogan unable to record vocals at the time, and having no new Monstro material to work on, I was thrilled when he asked me to guest vocal on his 35mm track “Slay Me/You” brought back from 2010-2011 era 35mm writing sessions. A fun one off oddball bomb track to pump you up and creep you out.
Slay On!
-Monstro”
lyrics
Big Bad - Attack!
Atomic monsters on track,
To rein in hell upon this this whole damn town
The need to feed
Reveal the evil in me
And now this romance comes a-crumbling down
You breathe just to ignite the fire
But you'd die just snuff mine out
So we fight to kill the things we sired
Give me a soul so you can tear it out!
[CHORUS]
Slay Me - Slay You
It's the same old same
My heart won't start and yet you
keep yours in bronze so you can
Slay Me, Baby!
The night - so bright If only seen with these eyes
Complete corruption by the light of dawn
Your flair - despair
Black leather lips and gold hair
My sweet seductress deadly courtesan
You lead just to deceive the others
But you never should have left the shelf
So move on and let your lover suffer
Don't lose your way just trying to save yourself!
