Perhaps the most brutal song of Judas Priest's career. This song is also one of the most influential in the history of Heavy Metal, offering a precursor to many of the extreme sounds of the next decade in the Thrash and Death genres. Priest always had a "speedster" or OTT track on each album, but this one was made even more powerful by it's segue from the emotional epic 'Here Come the Tears", into this frenzied guitar and vocal madness. The song deals with the frustration on an individual on the Berlin Wall and it's constrictions on his being.
