"Jeffrey Dahmer" is a song included on the seventh album Omen, released in 2010. The song was titled after the same-named infamous serial killer, who went on his rampage from 1978-1991, and has lyrics about him. Max Cavalera quoted to Straight.com about the excitement and satisfaction of writing the song about him, "One of the reasons I wrote the song was my brother [drummer Iggor] told me he got the receipt from somebody in Milwaukee for the freezer where Jeffrey Dahmer kept all his heads and body parts," Cavalera explained. "And that was something like, 'Wow, you have that?' I wanted to write a song about a serial killer for a long time, and I remembered the story about Iggor with this receipt and I decided to do Jeffrey Dahmer."
The song plays thrash with similar style of chugging as in Fear Factory, and with requisite shouting vocals and melodic solos.
Lyrics[]
In blood his victims will crawl
Body parts all over his house
They feed the need of his cannibal mind
Bloody murders he left behind
Jeffrey Dahmer, master cannibal
Jeffrey Dahmer, master of the gruesome
Jeffrey Dahmer, master cannibal
Jeffrey Dahmer, master of the gruesome
Psychologic interviews in jail
To understand this behavior, insane
Set him free, he'll do it again
A life dedicated to pain
Jeffrey Dahmer, master cannibal
Jeffrey Dahmer, master of the gruesome
Jeffrey Dahmer, master cannibal
Jeffrey Dahmer, master of the gruesome
Stalking victims through the night
Dismember every body part
Stalking, killing in the night
Consuming every body part
Stalking victims through the night
Dismember every body part
Stalking, killing in the night
Consuming every body part
Jeffrey Dahmer, master cannibal
Jeffrey Dahmer, master of the gruesome
Jeffrey Dahmer, master cannibal
Jeffrey Dahmer, master of the gruesome
