So, has it just escaped my attention, or has everyone already spotted that the 'Heart Beat' during Cryptorchid is exactly the same as the one you hear at the beginning of Antichrist Superstar (live, notably on Remix & Repent)? I can't remember if it's still used on tour now, as I've not seen the band since 2012, but in any case, it draws an interesting line between the two songs, and even the sequential nature of the album itself. It also suggests (albeit tangentially) that the opening notes of Antichrist Superstar are intended to be heard as a heart beat. Given that this is the album's turning point into Cycle III, it could suggest an evolutionary transformation into the Beast.
