Based on the experience of 9-11 in NYC, Hiroshima is named after a decrypted message describing a "Hiroshima in the United States" shortly before September 11th. This apocalyptic theme album follows the course of war, beginning with Bombardier's remix of Cdatakill's Shapeshifter. This track was nearly completed on the night of September 10th, 2001. It's apocalyptic sirens and doomsday basslines foretold the events to transpire mere hours away. The next track begins with the words of the cryptic seer, Ed Dames, warning of the 4 horsemen in Bombardier's remix of Abelcain's Mark of the B.E.A.S.T. track (retitled Pale). The onslaught of war begins with Incinerator, quoting Colonel Kurtz from the film Apocalyse Now. "We must incinerate them, pig after pig, cow after cow, villager after villager, army after army." The next tracks, Schizophrenia and This Is America introduce the erratic insanity of war and national pride, followed by the album's sustained aural battles of Perpetual Darkness, Sickness, and Syn. Hiroshima winds down into the aftermath of violence, with the eerie Machine, the post-attack sounds of Evacuation, and the somber eulogy describing the 2 passions that emerge in wartime, Love & Horror.
