However, they did not translate well to non-English speaking countries, where lyrics intended as being sarcastic were directly translated and taken literally. That's fine." Silver said, regarding the album's lyrics, "I think Peter was at the height of his lyrical powers". But at the same time, go ahead and make us famous. As a Jew, I obviously never wanna be labeled as a Nazi. Meanwhile, there were bands playing right down the block that are sieg-heiling the audience, and nobody's bothering with them. Keyboardist Josh Silver, who is Jewish, recalled, "They just invented a bunch of shit and said we were Nazis. In part due to Untermensch (German "sub-human") being a blanket term used by the Nazis to refer to non-Aryans. The lyrics were intended to be sarcastic, though several songs, like "Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity," "Prelude to Agony" and "Der Untermensch", led to accusations of misogyny, bigotry and Nazism. Revolver said that the album was "noisy and angry" and "a far cry from the hooky choruses and doom-out goth of their 1993 breakout, Bloody Kisses," having more in common with the New York hardcore sound of Peter Steele's previous band, Carnivore. Keyboardist and producer Josh Silver convinced his parents to lend him $6,000 so the band could record the album.
