About Me

"Believe it or not, America is engaged in a war for its very survival!At present it is a subtle, invisible, but very real war. This war is not about bullets and bombs, but about the absolute control of information and the way we think, an unceasing war of conflicting words and ideals, their causes and their effects upon our character as a nation".This is the inital entrance into the world for any project that may occur by Greg Watkins and/or Mark Brown. G.W. has experimented under the guise of "Spectral Laughter"with a small number of cassettes leaked out and a few live shows in Dallas TX during the 90's, and has teamed up with Mark Brown a few years ago to begin a series of experiments resulting in several near completed pieces for yet to be named project(s) and a currently in the works concept album to be titled "Apocalyptic Metaphors". more to come so stay tuned. check out rough mixes that will be posted as our writing process continues. any feedback is welcome.......

Apocalyptic Metaphors is a concept about reflecting the nature of modern times. Through the study of such diverse topics as Mayan prophecy, biblical Prophecy, quantum phisics, shamanism, Buddhism, Alternative History, conspiracies, astronomy, psychology, occultism, etc. etc.. , one can clearly percieve the lemming like nature of modern society. The inhuman entity which controls our societies and condemns us all to slavery is right in front of us every day, and most of us are completely blind to it. It lurks in our wallets, inside our televisions, at our jobs, in the mall, on the radio, in our governments, in our churches, and most of all in our own minds. our time is exponentially spiraling toward an unstoppable evolution in conciousness. A time of revealing. Those who can transcend the ego may have a chance. the rest will experience a cataclysmic death of spirit and the proverbial lake will devour them. The cycles of history will endure despite our race. "..all thats been done, built up for a future race, a race thats never won..." - Ogre, Skinny Puppy: Mind, the perpetual intercourse; One time one place..
