Dear friends, family, and fans,

 There comes a time when all great things must come to an end. Over the past year I have spent much time in introspection and have decided it’s finally time to officially announce my retirement from Media Violence Inc and by default lay to rest Media Violence, Aggressive Attack, Neuroexorcism, and Cage Clinic.

I have been in the game for 15 years now, producing and performing industrial, electronic, and experimental music and I am finally at the point with all of these projects that I can honestly look back and say “I am satisfied with how they ended.”

In the past 15 years (1996-2011)  I have shared the stage and studio with some of the best artists on the east coast. Those memories will always be a part of me. Along the way I have met so many awesome musicians, engineers, and fans that I could never begin to express the gratitude I have for their (and your) support of my projects.

I have chosen here, on “Oil For The Fire: The Best Of 15 Years,” some of my top favorite music from these projects that I feel exemplify everything I wanted to do with my music. Please download, share, burn, torrent, all you like. I feel that this collection is exactly the way I always wanted to go out. I am proud of these songs, and with this release I can honestly say I have poured out my heart, mind, soul, and countless hours into them and though I may be retiring, I know that I left it all on the table.

Before I sign off, I would like to thank the following people for their endless support for my music: John Berry, Arin Bennet, Jdavyd Williams, Tom Morgan, Carl Berger, Jacob Satterfield, Andrew Lent, Kim Reynolds, Chad VanPelt, David Berry, Eric Archer, Kerry Hazelwood, Patrick Allen, AJ Martin and TJ Harman. Last but not least I’d like to thank my wife, Chris B McCormick whose support in anything I choose to do is limitless.

I will not say that I am never make music again, but if it ever does happen again, I know I have the best friends, family, and fans in the world.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

We are the media

The news and the radio

TV controls you

And church consoles you

We are the government

Racist and intolerant

We are empty and belligerent

And we control you

We are the street gang

The white sheet gang

The black beret gang

The kool-aid cult gang

We are the mind police

The hate crime police

Riot control police

And we destroy you

We destroy art

We destroy you

We destroy music

We destroy you

We control you

We destroy you

Parental advisory

Censorship factory

Aristocracy

And we control you

We are celebrities

You hate to love to love to hate

You buy our labels

And we control you

We control you

We destroy you

One man

One gun

One wife

One son

Two shots

Two dead

One in the chest

And the other in the head

I am the hunter

I am the hunted

I am the parasite

The host the prey

The life and death and decay

I am the savior

I am the saved

I am extinction

I’ll kill to survive

Armageddon is everyday

You’re just a shadow

Just a memory

You are a bruise

A cut that bleed the lies

You’ve spewed

You’re just a shadow

Just a memory

You are a bruise

A cut that bleed the lies

You’ve spewed

My fists are full of anger

My mouth is full of blood

My mind is full of danger

My heart is full of mud

My days are full of thunder

My nights are full of rain

My weekdays full of Abel

My weekends full of Cain

I try to keep on moving

I try to stay sane

But battery acid

Runs through my veins

Burn it down

All the fear in your mind

You got to let it out

All the hate inside

And tear it down

All that’s in your way

To destroy it now

Don’t give a fuck what they say

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Break it break it break it burn it burn it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Break it break it break it burn it burn it

Break it down

Just to build it back up

Then you can rip it down

Because we don’t give a fuck

Try to lose it now

Let it all flow free

So we can pull it down

Be who you want to be

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Break it break it break it burn it burn it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Burn it burn it burn it break it break it

Burn it down

Break it break it break it burn it burn it

Will you be the one to step out of line?

Will you be the one to question mankind?

Will you be the one to seal your fate?

Will you be the one before it’s too late?

Will you be the one to raise your voice?

Will you be the one to defend free choice?

Will you to say they’re wrong?

Will you be the one to stand up strong?

If they were in power before

What makes you think it’s changed?

How many masks are worn

Before you see it’s all the same

It’s all an illusion

A slight of hand

The same powers

Behind a different man

It’s all an illusion

A slight of hand

The same powers

Behind a different man

Will you be the one to march in the street?

Will you be the one to practice what you preach?

Will you be the one to break free from the chains?

Will you be the one to speak against their game?

If they were in power before

What makes you think it’s changed?

How many masks are worn

Before you see it’s all the same

It’s all an illusion

A slight of hand

The same powers

Behind a different man

It’s all an illusion

A slight of hand

The same powers

Behind a different man

I will be the one to raise my voice

I will be the one to defend free choice

I will be the one to say that they are wrong

I will be the one to stand up strong

Will you the the one who will stand up strong?

You remind me of gasoline

How you’re always burning in front me

Your own self inflicted destruction

You light your cigarette

Just like you light a fuse

Your just an animal

A psycho cannibal

You eat your prey

While you watch TV

And you explode out of you mind

Because killing yourself means killing time

You don’t care about yourself

Why should I care about you?

You won’t fix yourself

Then why the fuck do you ask me to?
