'Israel's Son' is a song by Australian rock band Silverchair, released in 1995. It was the third single released from their debut full-length album, Frogstomp, which was released earlier the same year. It was also released on their The Best of Volume 1, and used on the soundtrack to the western version of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie.
It is the only Frogstomp song the band still played live in the years prior to the band going into 'indefinite hibernation” in 2011. The song was taken half a step down, likely to compensate for Daniel Johns' changing vocals.
'Israel's Son' is one of four songs on the album written solely by Johns.
Murder trial[edit]
In a January 1996 murder case, the defendant counsel for Brian Bassett, 16, and Nicholaus McDonald, 18, of McCleary, Washington, claimed that the pair listened to 'Israel's Son', from Frogstomp, which contributed to the murders of Bassett's parents and a younger brother on August 10, 1995.[1][2] McDonald's lawyer cited the lyrics 'Hate is what I feel for you/I want you to know that I want you dead' which were 'almost a script. They're relevant to everything that happened'.[3]The band's manager, John Watson, was quoted when he made this statement on behalf of the band, Silverchair:
'Silverchair do not, have not, and never would condone violence of any sort. The band is appalled by this horrific crime and they hope that justice will prevail in prosecuting whoever is responsible for it. The band extends its sincere sympathies to the families and friends of the victims in this case. Silverchair absolutely rejects any allegation that their song is in any way responsible for the actions of the alleged murders. It is a matter of public record that the song in question, Israel's Son, was inspired by a television documentary about wartime atrocities. Israel's Son was never intended to provoke violence and cannot be interpreted by any reasonable person as doing so. In fact, the song seeks to criticise violence and war by portraying them in all their horror.'
Prosecutors rejected the defence case and convinced the jury that the murder was committed to 'steal money and belongings and run off to California.'[1]
