   • 1996 August 9, Richard Stuart, “Review of Demonic Christ - "Punishment For Ignorance"”, in alt.music.black-metal‎^[1] (Usenet):

     My favourite songs here are "We Have Risen," which is a short three-minuter with a catchy riff, and the brilliantly titled "I Am Lord," which is quite memorable and has a simple riff which I'm sure is similar to a Katatonia song or something.

   • 2003, Ed Gaskell, The Complete Guide to Digital Video, Lewes, East Sussex: Ilex Press, →ISBN, page 142:

     If it is a glossy marketing tool, it will probably need to look aesthetically pleasing or brand a product correctly; if it's a pop promo, it might need to be monochrome or degenerated; if it's a wedding video, do the clients want a cut of the whole shebang, the highlights, or a music-driven two-minuter?
