Doom Metal group Shadow of Jupiter from Chicago, Illinois, USA, comprised of John Piotrowski (vocals), Colin Peterson (guitar), Scott Brakebill (bass), and Adam Kazragys (drums). They released the single "Daisy Cutter" (digital, self-release) - the title was the nickname for the BLU-82B/C-130 weapon system (a conventional bomb), used by the US during the Vietnam War to flatten sections of a forest, creating a helicopter landing zone.1 It also featured on the album Porta Coeli. It described the destruction the weapon caused: "Daisy cutter lays them all to waste... children wander roofless in rags".Sources1Wikipedia: BLU-82↩

Notes
On the album Porta Coeli . Metal Daisy cutter - (1) The Womb of Dawn will bear a sun / Blinding light has split the void / Cells divide and multiply / She knows / Daisy Cutter / Jesus Christ this is not a drill, bestow your favor clearly on our flock / If the holy spirit moves within you, Inflict everlasting grief for thee / Oh, kind and merciful Savior / Let their children wander roofless in rags / Bottoms of their feet split wide open, snow beneath them soaked with their blood / Assail their path May their steps be heavy, in kind their throats be cracked and dry / To us you giveth, yet they’ [From Justin A.
