"Bloodbath & Beyond" is the lead track of the seventh album Omen, released in 2010. It features fast, hardcore riffs reminiscent of the cross between Sex Pistols and Dead Kennedys according to the review on HardHarderHeavy. To match up with the song title, the lyrics details about the river of blood.
This song was inspired when Max Cavalera saw Bed Bath & Beyond store while on tour bus with co-producer Logan Mader, "I was riding the bus on tour and I saw that when we were driving and I made the joke in the bus. I go, Oh look, there's a Bloodbath & Beyond store. And everybody was cracking up in the bus and I wrote that down in my book and when it came time to make the record, I go, I'm gonna make a song with that name. That's a fuckin' cool name. I know Europeans will not get it but they'll get it in America."
Lyrics[]
The river runs red
The sky falls in your head
The river runs red
Another death ahead
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
The river runs red
The fall of the west
The river runs red
I'll give you my hate instead
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
The river runs red
Welcome to the end
The river runs red
Bloodbath is everywhere
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
The river runs red
In the kingdom of the dread
The river runs red
The hate of the land
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
Bloodbath and beyond
