Joe Lynn Turner – “Belly Of The Beast” (Audio)
‘Belly Of The Beast’
Mascot – Oct. 28, 2022
*Joe Lynn Turner – “Belly Of The Beast” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTW37kr67kM // You gotta watch this video. THIS is how we’d have expected heavy metal/punk rebels to act. The ex-Rainbow singer who sang melodic tunes like “Stone Cold” and “Street of Dreams” saw through the scamdemic and he’s been kinda pissed off!! // “Belly Of The Beast is a phrase we’ve heard over and over again in history, you can trace the cults and corruption all over the world back to prophecies in the Bible. It feels like it’s coming to fruition these days. When you look at the book of Revelation, there it is. I’ve always dipped into esoteric knowledge, Hermeticism, Occultism, Bible research, Eclectic philosophy. I’ve been fascinated with discovery of hidden mysteries. We are in a true spiritual war right now. It’s Good versus Evil. We’ve all got an Angel on one shoulder and a Devil on the other. We’re in the Belly of the Beast, trapped in the System, and there’s no way out of it. The album addresses this.”*
