Comments:  The few short liner notes say "I dedicate this CD to all the Warriors.  Don't let them die in vain: Always use a condom and practice safe sex."  Of course, this would be a far bolder and more accurate Christian statment if it further defined "safe sex" in it's only 2 instances - abstinence or marriage.  However, reading the '99 interview conducted shortly after this release indicates that Blackhouse doesn't consider itself a Christian industrial band.  Yeah, yeah, this sounds all too familiar in the Christian music genre, but most of the lyrics on earlier Blackhouse releases are a lot bolder than this interview suggests.  Most of the vocal tracks on this CD are too fuzzy to comprehend, or are limited to little more than the song title, and there's no lyric sheet (all of which is pretty typical).  So it's difficult to tell if Blackhouse is watering down the message more than usual, as the word "condom" in the liners would indicate.  Also, the cover art is bound to offend many conservatives, so I've refrained from posting it.  If you really want to see it, go to the Blackhouse home page.  The aforementioned interview - probably the only one ever conducted with Blackhouse - can also be read on the home page.
