In the now famous Rolling Stone interview, Requiem mentions a 10-minute sermon-type prayer that has never been released, and the band barred from including on The Murder & the Mayhem. It is possible "Pontificate's Prayer" is related to that track, which would connect it to "Virgin Sacrifice;" or a song that -did- make it on Hell if I Know is a revision of that prayer. The original recording for the album that eventually became Hell if Know remain unreleased. It is not know what songs are on that album, or if any version of those songs made it on the final released album, or b-sides. |
