"'''Minute of Decay'''" is the fourteenth track on the 1996 release ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]''. The opening sample ''"From a dead man... greetings"'' was sampled from the movie adaptation of George Orwell's ''Nineteen Eighty-Four''. The first thirty seconds of the song were sometimes used as an intro to "[[Tourniquet]]" during the [[Against All Gods]] tour.
