New Product New Product
Has a little bit of Depeche sound to it. This is the dub version. (There was always a dub version :) ) The new product was the Ensoniq VFX.

The title is inspired by Front 242s war motif. Gate VIII had (and still has) a firm ideological anchor in the Christian faith. And thus the white forces.

Sacred Life Sacred Life
There were two texts on this song. One about the life in Christ (Sacred Life) and the other about American world domination (called America). However, vocals were never recorded. Sound quality is very bad. But the music is enjoyable!

The song is a meditation on the baptism into Christ, more than a threat.

”I have been black and gray” was a statement, a witness. Turning from the dark mood of the goth and industrial synth hordes to the freedom, light and life of the kingdom of heaven.
