This band creates masterpieces and heartbreak. The moment the depiction of the victims starts...., the ones who died hugging, the ones who died alone with nobody to hold in their arms, the pain of the poison burning their internal organs... This band pays tribute to the victims in such a way, by the end of the song, i was crying loud. This is the most unique band i accidentally found... These guys amaze you and break you... The best depiction of the awful atrocity that happened. The music is so unique, i feel like i am in another dimension and i hear extrasterestrial music. This music is insanely original. Thank you for the art!

Her expression on 05:39 is so intense. It's pure feeling. This woman is an AMAZING performer.

First of all, I love them. Very intelligent and creative. They use the things that these individuals said in their lyrics but she does it in her own way/style. The videos give you a window into what happened but again, they use their own style to do this and it's hauntingly brilliant.
I liked the way she answered some questions that were thrown her way at a Golden Gods award show by the way. She handled it perfectly because yes, the possibility of carrying out such horrific acts is in all of us (whether we want to admit it's there or not, it is.)
Second, even after the Jim Jones situation, it seems like people refuse to learn from it. Cults still happened (like with Marshall Applewhite) and are currently happening right now.
Not only is their music amazing and I can't get enough of it but it is truly informative. Maybe younger people who like this will learn from it as well. If someone found this group and didn't know about these things that happened, I hope this will lead them to research what happened in these horrible situations and avoid the hell out of it. Or, maybe lead someone into the field of psychology which would be awesome. I see so much creativity here mixed with facts and she tells each story perfectly. ❤

Jim Jones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come live comradery, ah
In harmony, ah
One big community
Utopian society, ah
Come live equality, ah
No boundaries, ah
Human economy, ah
Did I say no boundaries? Ah
[Refrain]
Come, come to God
Come to the temple, come, come
Come, come to God
We shall overcome someday
Come to God
Come to the temple, come, come
Come, come to God
Suicide Sunday
[Chorus]
Hey, Dad, thanks, Dad, hurry, sisters, hurry
It's all over, all over, hurry, children, hurry
White night, drink Flavor Aid cyanide
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah
Get up, get up, get up and lay down your life
Drink it, drink it, drink up the flavored cyanide
Get up, get up, get up and lay down your life
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah
[Verse 2]
The edge of paradise, ah
Seems very nice, ah
And then you see his vices
Selling monkies, godless junkie
Religious holy roller
A mind controller
No one can leave, I told you
Holy growler, blind patroller
[Refrain]
Come, come to God
Come to the temple, come, come
Come, come to God
We shall overcome someday
Come to God
Come to the temple, come, come
Come, come to God
Suicide Sunday
[Chorus]
Get up, get up, get up and lay down your life
Drink it, drink it, drink up the flavored cyanide
Get up, get up, get up and lay down your life
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah
Hey, Dad, thanks, Dad, hurry, sisters, hurry
It's all over, all over, hurry, children, hurry
White night, drink Flavor Aid cyanide
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Lay down your life, lay down your life, yeah

I love SKYND and I love this song, but damn, this one hurts to listen to. I listened to the audio recording of the Jonestown massacre and I can't remember ever being so deeply disturbed in my life. Fantastic song. Very difficult to listen to. SKYND portrayed the horror of this so well. I love how the victims are covered by white sheets and Jim Jones is seen as this foreboding shadow. The people living in Jonestown were very good, peace loving people. And Jim Jones was a fucking monster.
