About Me


CLICK ON THIS GRAPHIC!
This is where we began.
Blear-eyed Friday mourning, sun a nuclear pock mark in the cyanide-open sky. The whispers of children, nimbly strapping on their automatic weapons. The cadaverous flutter of hope? Frail figure of Mother ghosted in cavernous doorways; Father on arthritic knee, praying to the poison in the waters of our wishing wells. The outside world is a mock-ghost town. Dust for streets. Piss for water. Shattered glass and broken dreams. Sigh of society, I consume therefore I am. Walking suits and miniskirts, plastic biological accessories, the cut-and-paste rebirth of beautification. Mask and veil, crook and flail. Artificial personalities. Empty shells pace their way to the brainfarms - churches and governments, racial zealots and violent idealists, the cults of personality, cultivating the minds of cattle, manimals, the Most Holy Moral Majority. Even black sheep run in herds. Do you have the courage to admit the obvious? This is organized hypocrisy. This thirst for extinction, this is our future. Another day in Baghdad, California, a bittersweet piece of dystopian Paradise. We are ANA KEFR ["I am Infidel"], the vehement voice of dissent.
Kefr: v. (Ar.) Root: K-F-R: To cover, to sow [as a seed]. English translation: Infidel, unbeliever, obliterator.
Related word:
Heretic: adj. (Grk.). Root: Hairetikós: Able to choose. English translation: Freethinker, skeptic, apostate.
Formed mid-2008 as the brainchild of vocalist and keyboardist Rhiis D. Lopez, guitarists and backing vocalists Trent Pichel and Kyle Coughran, and percussionist Bryce Loeffler, ANA KEFR is the thinking person's art of preference, active contempt for the bleating herd. Their debut offering, "Volume 1", is available now. Let the heads roll.
