screamin' jay hawkins
one of the more peculiar tracks on the album include ""bonsai people"", which is a red hot chili peppers type funk metal song. the lyrics compare childlike people to bonsai trees in a way that they are tiny (humble, god-fearing) but as a strong breed they can endure the rending of wind (temptation) since their roots are deeply entrenched into soil (word of god). ""spell of hell"" on the other hand is a dark, melodic black metal type song which begins with oppressive clean guitaring. with a haunting voice a person whispers the words "hell is a totally cool site, so let's get there, all right?". this sentence is probably an attempt to describe the attitude of some of the black metal fans; the lyrics tell that those who say things like that are under the 'spell of hell' which the devil uses to mislead people. consecutively, it can be said that ""spell of hell"" was deuteronomium's way of expressing their stance on the black metal movement which had at that time become very popular, with emperor and likes being played on the finnish metal radio program 'metalliliitto', as the band members recall in an interview. ""spell of hell"" became deuteronomium's best known song. the songs ""iii"" and ""northern praise"" are also black metal influenced and present more worshipful lyrics, the forementioned is vocalized in finnish and refers to the trinity of god. the latter is also a somewhat popular song as it is noted for being one of their best known songs. the self-titled song ""street corner queen"" is a punk rock influenced death metal song about a prostitute, the lyrics tell that she sells love though deep inside she knows that it's not love at all, and that she seeks comfort from wrong ways. ""druglord"" is another punk rock influenced death metal track. the lyrics are written from the perspective of a young person who suffers from drug addiction.
