LOL!
The intro to the song Testify is very indicative of the American "Dirty South." Think about Meat's character in Crazy In Alabama for a moment...got the picture? This is the type of thing the "good" sherrif might yell at an escaped convict during a search. It is a very "period" type of thing. "Hell hounds" is American slang for blood hounds used to help track down criminals during a search. The song has a general "feel" of a Southern Gospel "tent revival" type of song. I believe this was more than likely added in to give the song more of a dirty south type of feel to it. This is quite difficult to explain if you are not familiar with America on a first-hand basis, much in the same way some British televison shows are semi-complicated to us Americans to understand.
I hope I helped and did not mess the image up in your mind even worse.
ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!
