No Devil liveD oN: A Play on Words

Right people,
let's talk about this palindrome thing called "No Devil liveD oN" we've got goin' on in our latest album Drugstore Hell..

First of all, what the fuck a palindrome is?!

As the mighty Wikipedia says: "A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of units that may be read the same way in either direction, with general allowances for adjustments to punctuation and word dividers."

Indeed, despite reading a lot of bullshit on Wiki on a daily basis I agree on that.

So, keeping in mind that a palindrome is something like this





we can finally analyze the "No Devil liveD oN" structure in depth, easily discovering that it follows this pattern:

A
B
C
D
B
C
D
E
D
C
B
D
C
B
A


Brilliant ain't it?

Assuming that no one has ever done something like this before in the history of music you could tend to think we deserve some sort of recognition for our rampant genius (or dementia, who knows...), but no, obviously the rest of the world (yes I'm addressing the Guinness World Records directly) couldn't care less and this almost got unnoticed... Ahh, cruel world!

What's left to say? Ah yeah, that the palindromic structure refers to both music and lyrics, obviously!

Want some more behind-the-scenes infos? Well... I have to admit that the first time Andrea told me about this idea I thought it was complete nonsense... ahahah!
And maybe I was right, 'coz nonsense ain't nothing but a form of higher sense, ain't it?!

There's also another version of the song, an ebm remix by our friend vDiva, the palindrome thing is gone but you can still enjoy some damn good beats, here's the link:
