About Me


PLEASE READ BEFORE CLICKING 'ADD'
I WILL NOT ADD PRIVATE PROFILES WITHOUT A PRIOR MESSAGE. I ALSO DO NOT ADD RABID NAZIS.
I do not accept add requests from those who clearly have no interest in Caïna - I do not want to join your 'whore train', and I have no interest in competing in myspace's friend collecting popularity contest. Music is not a stamp collection; the amount of friends one has is irrelevant.
Caïna makes music that language hasnt quite caught up with yet. Break yourself on rocks to believe in something more.
