My upbringing as a fundamentalist christian: the guilt of an inhuman
ideal, the suffering I experienced at the hand of my peers by ‘turning the
other cheek’, the suppression of every form of creativity: physical (sex),
mental (idea), and spiritual (magic), the loneliness of longing for a god
that never answered, the masochism of emulating christ.
Schizophrenic fragmentation in adolescence, meeting their elegant devil, discovering that hate can turn sorrow into power, that behind fear lies enlightenment, finding a new god in the void.
The works of other minds, crowned with torment: H.P. Lovecraft, Jean
Paul Sartre, and The Great Throng of Poets and Composers who gave me
Black Metal.
A sociopath for a mother, a martyr for a father. The drama of the cosmos, twisting oak trees, cliffs, and the setting sun.
Great Nihlotep, who draws me unto himself, threading the inner void
to the outer void.
Korism
The Great Artists of Black and Extreme Metal. All Great Musicians. The Great Artists, Teachers, Learners, and Practicers of Truth, Science, Power, and the Ebb and Flow of Passion and Compassion. The ability and Choice to celebrate Life as well as Death. The right to Create and Sustain, and the gift of Opposition and Destruction. Beholding Magick in the layers of space, thought, and the senses. Forever upon us all, cast Desire and satisfy me by my own design. May our Knowledge grow and Eclipse the ignorance of this world and may we be an instrument of this Change. With ardent veins, rip down the golden gates of heaven!!!
Solipsis
My dreams and my lack of sleep(the things that keep me awake). My relationships, romantic and otherwise. Quantum physics and the search for existential truth. All the disgusting things I have learned about religion and humanity. The sun and the moon. Death and communication with those who have crossed over, Derek Roddy, Nick Barker, Inferno, M.C. Esher, Alex Grey and other art.
Sounds Like: A diverse style of dramatic, violent, percussive, majestic black metal with elements of doom and death metal.
