"Fur" (also known as "Fur Covered In Blood") is the second track on the 1995 Demo.
Background[]
- "Fur was just brutal. Shawn, Joey, and I pounding on our biggest drums in unison as hard as we could while a simple but heavy guitar and bass riff droned out. Then Paul and I growled/yelled as hard as we could, over and over: 'I am fur-covered-in-blood', which was a Werewolf character in one of our Role-Playing ames, like Face-Of-Pain. 'Fur Covered In Blood' is the full title[…] We just got used-to saying 'Fur'."
- —Anders Colsefni[1]
