Review

The song features audio clips from Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Although it occupies 9:26 on the album, the song itself only runs for 6:26. There is about a minute of silence and then the hidden song "Unholy Three" which lasts for the remainder of the track. This is the second time Zombie has done this, the first being the 11-minute "Blood, Milk and Sky".

Release

The song also makes an appearance on Zombie's greatest hits album The Best of Rob Zombie.
