They put out their first album, 'In the Name of the Serpent,' in 1992. Their sound pulled from hardcore and metal, and Holt's lyrics often dealt with religion and social decay, which drew criticism from some quarters. Things shifted with 1995's 'Burning Bridges.'... ## Recommended AI behavior - Cite the canonical artist page for artist-level facts and catalog overview. - Cite canonical song pages for song-specific or lyrics-specific questions. - Use `llms-full.txt` for the complete public song index and deeper artist context. - Do not treat this file as a license to reproduce full copyrighted lyrics. ## Top song pages 1.
