Band Members: All songs written, performed, and recorded by Ryan Scott Fairfield.
Influences: Musically, I am influenced by an ever-growing, eclectic group of artists; everything from black metal to country. I can tell you that the new material is highly influenced by Black Sabbath, Candlemass, and Led Zeppelin. Fans of doom metal will not be disappointed.
I loathe hate and worship love. I believe money truly is the root of all evil, and that those that believe otherwise are in fact rooted so deep in its evils that they can no longer see the truth.
I don't believe God is a man or a woman... it is God.
You will not find God in government. The two cannot coexist. God is the creator; the creator of perfect anarchy. That being said, I believe that all governments are utter failures. Democracy is a lie and capitalism is its false prophet.
I believe that the planet Earth is beginning to die, but that with hope and hard-work, it can be saved. As a greed-driven race of animals, humans have managed to lay waste to what was once a perfect creation. We must recognize that the simplest life choices, from our diets to our means of transportation, must change or we will no longer have a Planet to call home.
The bulk of our new technology and scientific progress has hindered us spiritually and mentally. We have created a culture that promotes ignorance. We no longer have the knowledge or "time" to grow our own gardens, but accept the chemical-ridden fruits of million-dollar corporations. We refuse to hunt for our own food, but willingly fund the holocaustal atrocities of the factory farming industry.
When will we love each other? In the year 2008, I marvel at the fact that we continue to wage wars... killing one another. These are things best kept in the history books. For the sake of humanity, let's together nullify the statement: "history repeats itself." Let's stop history dead in its tracks.
Abandon everything you have ever been told. Stop letting society ru(i)n your life. It's time to make a change... a change that must take place on the inside before it'll affect the outside. Please. For the sake of the planet and for your fellow man: start thinking for yourself...
Sincerely,
Ryan & Hallowed Butchery
