...and in and around and above yet beneath and everything and everything
and nothing and nothing and in and around and above yet beneath
mozda hjest da sam previse pjana, il do tog jesam li cijeli jebeni dan provela sjedeci na podu jaucuci uz Si Monumentum i Kruzifixxion da bi na kraju zavrsila u kafani trpeci Bon Jovija... i krvava onda slusala psalme...
zar, stvarno, covjek moze da stvori nesto toliko CRNO, opojno, toliko olovno tesko, da stvori takav pritisak da zemlju ne osjecas vise, a pritom tako jebeno direktno iskreno da fakat pozelis da se nikad vise ne udaljis od grmfona i nikad vise ne stisas...
i ono, sto je meni najfascinantnije, jest taj 'fenomen' kao sto je neposrednost i prirodnost; sposobnost muzickog izraza, da i sam, nezavisno od nekog sireg duhovnog konteksta, bez posredstva neke vizije, tendencije... bude istinski crn, da bude mracan po samoj svojoj elementarnoj strukturi (sto je meni najuocljivije kod DsO
i Funeral Mist)... a evo sad jos ide Destruction Ritual, i to taman onaj sjeb uvod... Stop killing the dead... They're Mine... tako da sam se sva oduzela i neam pojam ocel me ko skontat i svejedno mi...
a kazu da nece da sviraju uzivo... i kako ja da zivim s tim...
Deathspell Omega is a collective entity of minds (or a force), not to be seen as band members/individuals. Why this approach? Can you say that this will remain a firm stance on your part? And, obviously this would mean no live stations, correct?
- First and foremost, we want to avoid at all costs this very human illusion of being important and gladly leave these fifteen minutes of fame, as Warhol brilliantly put it, to whoever wants them. In regard to what we are trying to understand and dare to praise despite the immense restrictions of human understanding, we are nothing. This being said, we are of course better than most humans, our humility lies on a metaphysical level. Eventually, it should also be considered that we honestly can not say how much of the artistic or intellectual impulses truly come from us, and which percentage of, for example, "Si monumentim requires, circumspice" was conceived through or maybe even despite us. Claiming the paternity of a child with such odd and uncontrollable origins would be very vain, indeed, even if -at least- the credit of being an instrument remains. ("I shall descend in humiliation before Thee - And ascend before men only if thy will ordains me")
You are right, we do not consider live performances to be suitable, as what Deathspell Omega conveys can not be understood in such a restrictive, purely sensorial, environment.
Appear! O catastrophe god.
