Interview by MALEFIC

 

HISTORY OF THE BAND


My involvement with Crimson Moon started before the year 1997. I had ordered a demo tape from a snail mail advertisement that I had found along with a whole handful of other snail mail adds, and I took interests in it and I ordered the Crimson Moon demo.. Into the Nocturnal Forest. I found this demo to be of extraordinary bleak and cold void pale black metal ritual rite... I listened to it over and over and over again. Listening to the way the guitars were structured, listening to the torchered screams and demonic hateful troll like growls and vokills of Vampir Scorpios and I fucking thought it was some of the best Black metal to be unleashed from the States in those days. I started corresponding with Vampir Scorpios and everything lead from that point forward. We wrote each other on many many many things.. Topics and subject matter of interest, theorum and agenda pertaining to much of the areas of the demonically relative occultium alignment and applicational theorum and teachings concerning Sorcerial thought and concept as well..Meetings of the mind on matters of all things Unholy one might say// I think what really took matters to a more personal level with he and I was that I created the Crimson Moon logo that we now use and I did this without him asking and without Scorpios even expecting it. It was quite a shock and suprise to him I think. He was quite pleased and then Nocturnal Overlord wanted to say Hails and Hello to me as well... I sent the logo and still kept up correspondance with Scorpios and we wrote each other and talked on the phone quite often. Before I became part of the Circle of the Cult I was mainly just the band artist and caligrapher. I designed the cd cover painting for To Embrace The Vampyric Blood and I hand penned all the song titles in caligraphic script for the back of the cd its'self and everything looked absolutely fucking killer... It held some of the sombre yet cryptically grim imagery that Nordic black metal cults were famous for incoporating into their covers and layouts.. Everything was great.. I was doing art work for Crimson Moon and I was doing work with Baron Von Abaddon, which to most of your readers is a long since dead name now in the new modern day scenes, but I hope not.. The Baron was the Grand inquistor and black necromantic mage of the infamous endarkend ugly black metal cult Black Funeral.. (Hail to thee Baron whereever you may be now.... I know that your occult mind and your seething treacherous heart of matters arcane will still be a True brethern of the study and applications of the Typhonian Way and of the Ways Luciferian...).
I was doing artwork for Black Funeral, Valefor and The "Akhkharu" kult, which was my own project held in honored occultium status with another brethern of the arcane alignment, and I was doing art work for Crimson Moon and then things changed for the better. It was then around that time that the funeral winds of necromantic divinations changed and were about to unleash a task of intrigue and honor..One of which has held to this very day. I was talking to Scorpios on the phone and it just so happend he was complaining about not having a keyboardist for Crimson Moon and that Overlord did the keys and synth pieces on the cd, but they wanted something else, another member perhaps or Overlord could just keep on doing the synth piece like he did on To Embrace the Vampyric Blood. I told him that I play keyboards man, ..you know, it’s really nothing serious but yeah man, I play. The next thing I knew he was asking me.. Play something.. He wanted to hear something.. So I did.. He asked me how long I have been playing and that it just might work.. The only thing was that I was in Texas and they both were in California. Well, that problem was no longer a problem once I had the money for the plane ticket, so I went. We recorded Under The Serpentine Spell the next 7 days and that’s how our union came to be. Soon after I returned to Texas, Scorpios was asked to be the touring bassist with Ancient from Norway. It was going to be the "World Blood Hunt Ancient Tour” in 97.. It was after that, after Scorpios left that Crimson Moon started to experience massive set backs and dissapointments... We never really had a chance to release Under a Serpentine Spell and with Scorpios residing in Europe moving from various places we could not do much of anything except keep “Under the Serpentine Spell” in the "vaults"...

 


SIDE PROJECTS


Overlord became involved with Abysmal Nocturne and started playing shows and recording with them as a session guitarist, but it eventually became an offered full time membership position.. He also had stated working with a side project of his own called Nibiru and he created some very abstract vividly bleak serpentine black metal stellar artistry with Nibiru. Again because of his schedule and time constraints Overlord could not do much with Nibiru, but still to this day has the material he recorded and the latest Nibiru material in mind to release. Overlord also started working and trying to organize Kthulu Production as a possible distro label designed to release Nibiru and Crimson Moon releases through and due to his working schedule had to put on hold. Nocturnal Overlord is currently putting together new Nibiru material as well as the latest Crimson Moon material, however Kthulu Productions is of yet still remaining to be a dormant entity. Overlord is also currently involved with Abysmal Nocturne, which is a growing black metal act and entity and has played shows and shared stages with acts like Immolation, Incantation, Mayhem and I think they might be playing with Abigail from Japan here pretty soon, but I am not sure.
Vampir Scorpios still resides in Europe and has been currently working on his latest musical entity of mystery and misanthropic artistry called " Serpent Seduced Eve". He also has been working on material for Sabnack, Akrabu and of course Crimson Moon.

 


FUTURE RELEASES

As of right now he calls Europe home and plans on coming back to the States for a visit and to record the next Crimson Moon cd which is titleless at the present time. This release will be more or less an archive release. Tracks will include songs from the demo days and new re-recorded re-structured songs from the debut CD To Embrace the Vampyric Blood and of course it will include the latest newest material Scorpios and Overlord worked on while his last visit. This is yet not a scheduled release and as to when this will be released is unknown.

 

ARTWORKS


While the other brethern of the Cult were doing there own things I also was keeping busy with work and doing artwork, mainly artwork concerning Crimson Moon t-shirt designs, and sigil crafting that would incoporate our occultium advocacy and misthanthropic choice of spirit and alignment.. I also did some work for Black Funeral and designed the last logo that Black Funeral used and some caligraphic script for the cd release of "Empire of Blood, released through Full Moon Productions.LOCAL SCENE
I really did not do anything musically until I was asked to be in a Texas based death-black metal cross over act as their keyboardest. It was this choice that I made the worst fucking mistake I had ever made ...It is also because of this mistake that I left the whole entire Texas underground scene socially, professionally and quite frankly personally.. I'll say this .I am not one for "trash talking, I know what happend, and who all was involved. I remember this shit like it was last week and I still continue to refuse to support anything, any band, any act or attempt at a black metal cult from Dallas because of it.. Only a few people remain as true brethern in my opinion from that fucking town. I left that act.. and after what happened to me I left the scene and the support of the scene musically, socially and personally.. I went underground so to speak. I quit all my correspondances other than Scorpios and Overlord and took to being very deliberately misthanthropic and un-social.. I was tired of being used, and thought of as some friendly helpful dark artist and I was tired of supporting and giving my support personally to people and motherfucking knuckle draggin. beer-swillin' appalachian neanderthall red neck pink toed sloths. I dropped over 56 people in one day and haven’t spoke to them, any of them since.. I was not about to stay in a scene, in a local scene, and support any band or Bitch or Bastard that "expected me to stay and be an artist and a well known musician after being stabbed in my back by the very band mate "brethern"?? that I thought I could trust.. I never have forgotten anything ..and I won't ever forget or forgive.. I won't talk trash.. I don't talk trash.. I remember who is who and what was what.. Trash talking? ...Nope. not at all... Its not forgotten.. After what happened to me.. I left them all.. told the drummer ..You no longer have a keyboardest or a backing vocalist.. I will never fucking support a local scene like that ever again. Fuck em.. I will not be cordially non-chalantly "expected and desired to be part of or support any scene where back stabbing motherfucking two faced people reside as the "only" real examples of true minded brethern.. Not at all... I am not a stupid man, nor will I ever be a stupid man.. I remember and I have not forgot... Enough said..........

 


THE UNDERGROUND AND THE OLD DAYS


I stayed underground and deliberately remained out of the social scene and eniornment of the underground.. I kept up with what was going with the American black metal scene and what bands and cults were new out of Poland, Germany and the Ukraine, but as for emailing and writing and especially doing "artwork" uh,uh.. Nope. I got tired of doing artwork for bands and people. I got tired of being used or non-chalantly taken for granted basically by those that I did stuff for and getting screwed for doing it. I was also tired of the God Damned amounts of fucking two faced, arrogant, conceited motherfucking pricks and Bitches that populated the so called "underground black metal scene” and extreme music scenes as well.. I saw that the underground was no longer a damn proud few that held seriously dedicated perserving occultium mindful black metalist.. I saw rather that these extremely arrogant vanity striken little bitch whores into the "new" Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir were populating everything.. I saw that there were clueless linear minded Laveyan Satanist teenagers wandering around the malls in the latest "Hot Topic clothing and "Goth gear...I saw that black metal was turning into a God damned social club and a motherfucking trend hoping party wagon where all the "Good girls go to die and the Mansonite fans wanted something "heavier" something darker something more damn "blasphemous” to use to piss off dear old Mom and Pop White Trash. If Cake and Sodomy wasn’t enough they could throw in a penny for thoughts into the Cradle of Filth too..... They could also find a Dark Throne to sit on every now and then and remain as clueless as to who was who in Graveland, Veles, Full Moon, Mysteriis, Infernum and Manes as they still are to this day....Absolutely destroying everything.. every damn thing Dark Throne and the Black metal occult scene represented and stood for.. I was not fucking pleased with what I had to sit back and watch over a period of years happen to the black metal scene... I have remained out of the social settings of the underground for nearly the last 5 years now, and just recently, just this year did I start to come out and say Hails and Hello to motherfuckers.. You know.. I don't want to sound like an old man Bitching in my damn depends and food supplement pudding over all this shit, but hey ..I am 28 years old now and I remember when the Black Metal underground and the entire motherfucking scene started. I remember when these "so called bands" were not "bands" at all.. They were covenship cults of true minded misthanthropic pissed off motherfucking occult brethern, devil worshiping assholes and elite minded occult fascist that could "play" instruments.. They played with hatred in their hearts, their "Screams and growls of demonic intensity and grim trollish execution” were not "staged" and back then "Black metal” was not a "term" of how one could "play an instrument to fit the ever growing trend and demand of the neighborhood kid going to Wherehouse music to pick up the latest CD at 17 fucking dollars a pop! Hell Fucking NO! It was God Damned Pissed Off Satanic Occultium minded brethern who worshipped the Devil, completely dedicate their lives in all ways and form to serving and playing for the "devil”.. and its works. These guys were pissed, they were fucking furious about why they were pissed and who they were serving and how in many different ways, being some illegal they could better demonstrate their arcane blasphemic devotion.. "Bands" were not "bands" ..They were Damn activist cults that held nothing in respect or regard that had a damn thing to do with accepted societal, moral or religious view points. I remember when I used to meet motherfuckers in unlit fields out in the country to talk about what new cult had a demo coming out. I remember all of it.. I remember when we first heard of and started to find alignment and unity with the underground occultium black metal scene ..It was pure, it was true, it was fucking UNHOLY!!!! It was deliberately demonic, dangerous and held great contempt for nearly everything we as occultium minded spiritually decesive brethern were wanting to advocate and express and did not yet know how..

 


BLACK METAL

Black metal's very presence seemed to answer what so many of us felt was an overwhelming spiritual sense and desire to dedicate our selves to the study and practice of all things macabre and the demonically relative ....It was a damn form of expression that seemed to give us what we wanted as a form of "music" and art and some idea of belonging to something special, something pure, something evil, and something coldly "alien" that we back then could not find with death metal... It seemed to provide a sense of answers, unity and belongingness that fueled our hatred, our contempt, our disdain and animosity towards eveerything that held any representation to God, to angelic Love kindness or comapassion to the fellow herd class thinking man. It was like a drug. The music, its ever invoking grimness and ice cold void pale spiritual expression of darkness and misthanthropy.. You did not want to leave the camp fires and the unlit places you did not want to turn off the "Calling of Sathanic Nightside Beckoning”.. It fueled the fires of mystery deep within us, it also became a form of the unanswered questions we all had yet never seldom shared that asked.. Why Am I an Occultium minded Brethern, what deep cavern of inner desire made us want to study and dedicate our lives, selves and spiritual destiny and choice to the service of and the devotion to the Black Arts and the demonic. Black Metal seemed to be the form of the answer, it seemed to provide us then with the very essence of the unspoken un learned of way we as occultium minded brethern could express our dedication and devotion to all things macabre, demonic, paranatural, alien and spiritually controversial and the disturbing. We felt like Knights in the Devils Army, or something.. I remember this.. Its not something easily forgotten, and now ..this once proud and special alignment is seen as what..? ..A music genre.. A way, a style that instruments can be played .. I won't sit here and claim that Crimson Moon can capture all that is of the black metal "spirit" and the true essense of the demonically relative and the spiritually disturing, ...I am not going to be that disrespectful to what the Occultium path and current can fill you with... I will say that we as a band and we as occultium minded brethern will do our damndest to try to put into a form of music and intensity that feeling though.. The feeling that I speak of here is not something that can easily be "explained" because it comes from within, it comes from a ever present disgust and disdainful contempt for the ways of and concept of everything that seems to thought of to be of God and of the Laws of God and The Great Law.. Whether you state that you "believe" in God or not doesn’t matter.. Its like a feeling of absolute spite, and animosity that is more like a ressurection of a shadow memory.. ancient hatred toward "something" that can't be remembered.. yet Altruistically if one looks deep enough within can be found and sought after. Its the feeling of a dream like sense of belongingness and the desire to establish an otherwise seemingly illogic stance of victory and control over what much of the entire populace of the world wished to spiritually feel in comfortable alignment and connection with. Its like an overwhelming desire to yell or scream out something, yet that desire to scream is quieted and silenced by the very act and thought it takes to "seek out what that feeling is in the first place. The Ancient Hatred that looms within and fuels the Fires of Mind and Aeonic Memory.. Some occultist see this "sense" of preternatural familiarity called the "Blood Cry of Kingu.. others see it merely as an idea created by all that one is introduced to when first choosing to align one self with the Darkness that hideth veiled behind the light of aware awakend being.

 

BAND’S CONCEPT

Crimson Moon will strive to present that expression and will even try to capture the meaning and the reason why we as occultium minded brethern and soror feel the way we do.. The Cult of the Crimson Moon and our teachings will do our best, when its time, to answer the reasons of thought and insight as to why we all feel what we feel.. I'm not going to claim that we will be the darkest, most hatred filled misthanthropic band of occultium minded facist and assholes.. because that's not what I am talking about.. Maybe just maybe ..Our brethern will be able to shed some NOT-light on the answers dedicated occultium minded brethern and soror have constantly sought after. The test of ability will not be in our "music" or the music's demonic hypnotic flow or intensity, but in our lyrical sorcery, our message and the doctrine involved from an occultium stand point.

 

INFLUENCES


You asked what are some of Crimson Moon's influences musically as far as black metal is concerned and other forms of music.. I'll answer that, but I think since Vampir Scorpios and Nocturnal Overlord are the master craftsmn behind the Cult's hymns.. I'll have to just give you my personal thoughts on what "these influences might be.. I think Manes of Norway has had great influence in the creation of and the song writing of Crimson Moon's material.. I also think that old school Polish grim kine cults such as Infernum, Graveland and Veles also are of Crimson's influence.. Dissection, The Black, Mayhem, and Dark Throne are some of the others...Old old Immortal, and old Emperor before In The Nightside Eclipse.. As for ideological influences? ..I would have to say extreme and demonically relative areas of advanced occultium applicational teachings, theorum and mechanics pertaining to Typhonic, Ophidian, Sothic and Non-ucleadian Cth'Thultic systems of occult sciences. I would also have to say that much of the lyrical sorcery is composed from Scorpios's own interests and devotion to the studies of occultium fields of activity pertaining to Necromancy and Demonology, both pre-medieval and early era medieval demonologic applicational doctrines. Early Eygptian and Ekurbadic Hermetic philosophy plays a great part in some of the concepts that we as an occultium band follow and advocate from an intellectual setting. Mesapotamian, Babylonian, Assyrian and Semetic Quabalistic path systems are also are of great interests and influence respectively.

 


VAMPIRISM

Now, ..The biggest question that every one wants to ask about Crimson Moon is one that pertains to why we claim to title our Cult as a Vampyric or Vampiric Black Metal band.. We're asked this in nearly every interview seeing how we don't claim any alignment or recognition of the La'veyan Satanic teachings, opinion or philosophy due to our personal dislikes for La'veyan systems of thought and opinion. We are not of a La'veyan stand point at all.. In fact we would honor Luciferian idealogical precept and Sothic Setian systems of thought and interests rather than La'veyan Satanic teachings. We are occultium minded brethern who have interests and personal conviction towards the active applicational teachings and study of Typhonic, Opheidan and Tliamatiac sorcerial path workings and alignment. I my self am of a school of occultium thought that I call Non-Ucleadian Cth'thultism and as to this I won't get into just yet. But it does hold extreme views concerning areas of occult study pertaining to dimensionality and non-linear occultium concept and precept associated with Chaos Magick, and advanced study in quantum metaphysics and quantum psychologic models.. The Vampyric current in occultium study is not a "funny" friendly" tongue in cheek area of interests and study to involve one self in.. to some its an aesthetic theatrical expression of dark or even controverisal human romanticism, but true meta-physical undead covenships are nothing that should be glorified, or remotely captivating. Its not something I really want to discuss here in this manner due to the high number of people that associate "Vampires, and all things "vampiric with the late 80's and early 90's Gothic and Death Rock culture and aesthetic appreciation for the macabre. To most the idea of the undead and vampires is just some wild fanciful vision of the extravagant and the timeless quest that has always expressed its self in the minds of man.. The ability to cheat death and live Immortal. Vampires are thought of as mythological and at best creatures of the human imaination... Creatures that seem to have the attributes of an angel or the timeless ageless wisdom of a God while carrying on some form of self contempt and disinterest in expeiencing life because they are "accursed, the forsaken and the Damned. They've been written about time and time again and can capture the interests of the avid horror fan or the simple tongue in cheek disply of appreciation for the Halloween season ....To most the vampire is a creature of myth and fiction and a creature whose very physical existence is seemingly illogic and vastly controverisal to the minds of scientist, biologist and others of medical fields of research and practice. While most people readily can discuss the existence of "vampires" as theorum and myth, vampirism however is not. Over the years there have been many many studies into the idea of and actuality of what vampirism is and what form vampirism takes. Studies into the life styles and psychological make up of so called "living-vampires" There is even titles that for every descriptive definition vampirism and its many forms could be learned of typically speaking. However its not of "typical" thought or study that I am speaking of with what Crimson Moon aligns our selves with and wills to present our listners as our message. We do not claim to be ageless old vampires coming to resuface and make our "mark on the human infamous legacy of interests and intrigue as Anne Rice wrote of.. We are occultium students and brethern of a very different area of activity and alignment, one of which is not clearly or all that carefully studied by the researchers and psychologist that study vampirism and it's many forms. There is a very un studied, un learned of, un friendly, un-nice un-happy, un-holy area of study and involvement that pertains to Vampiric activity.. I'm not sure what to call it to be honest with you, because what you understand is that there are very real, yet phantasmagoric entities or people that do exist undead, phase-shifted and more like light form anomolies when encountered. These people are historically in some occult circles and intelligence referred to as the The Initiates, The Night Dead and the Boys and Girls of Yesteryear.. The Boy's and Girls' next door, and The Xymox or simply the Club. They are called Re'phaim biblically and in Hebrew that word means "Lost Ones”, or Sorrowfull Ones. And then these people are also referred to as the Angry Dead that the book of Enoch speaks of losely in referrence to End time prophetic events and revelations. They have also been called the Alumni or simply the Black Brethern, ..Some of your readers will understand exactly who I am referring to as the Joker Faced Assholes and The Joker Faced Men and Women. Anne Rice would not even want to think of writing about what these people are and whats happened to them, They are nothing that she could ever think while sinking down into a candle lit lilac scented fucking bubble bath. The real ones are'nt what you find in the Gothic night clubs sipping on Shirly Temples and popping X every 5 minutes.. They are not nice to encounter and they are more like people, holloform images one could encounter in a damn dream or nightmare if you ever were to. They are more dimensionally relative than human living alive living mattered bodied people, and they exist in what the damn Government intelligences understand and have titled the "Aethyr" or the Ether" // They exist in half life states of consciousness and lucid R.EM. state reality. Most of them remain in the Astral aethyrs and exist in various shades of time's spectrum and are not met as physical people by those on this side of Time's relativity.. They are more ghostly and most of them do not get up from coma like states of stasis and condition for years at a time, sometimes up to 15 years at a time. You think its funny and friendly nice and Gothic to encounter these kind? ..uh uh, ..They will fuck your world and effect you as a dimensional time-relative image by their very presence fields.. You'll think your having a damn "acid" trip while talking to them and at times you'll feel like you're drunk and high on GHB. You people have no clue.. Black Lodge Illuminati.. Those who have Risen, ..The Initiates.. the Dead to Sleep Awakend.. That is what it is. You think Cradle of Filth personifies the real? You think Anne Rice and the movies personafy the real? ..Nope... You pay to pay.. To Win is to Lose To Lose is to Win. ....You play with the Old Game Undead ..you'll understand what Sathanic pain and majesty is and what trully spiritually disturbing reality can exist for you for Winning the Game... I dont even recommend any of you get interested in the real, unless you are willing to Pay to fucking play. It has been trully forgotten over the years that the undead were once considered to be the armies of the Devil, and the Hordes of Dark Ones that were to become Messangers and Revelation's greatest unveiled secret... And you people think I'm kidding, ...Demons with the Faces of Men, Hair of Women and Teeth of Lions.... Its all there.. All you have to do is see the fucking picture your self.. Those people don't care if you laugh and giggle and doubt and scoff at them, they don't give a fucking damn ..I know I would not.. I'd kill you for laughing in my general direction after being made that way.. Its not a funny or friendly area of occultium activity to be remotely interested in period, unless you are willing to have your life turned up side down, destroyed astrally and spiritually opened up to levels of occultium relative agenda your SLEEP class mind have never dreamt possible. You know, ..I'll tell you .. The closet damn portryal I have personally seen of how movies or Hollywood could portray these people. It’s John Carpenter's VAMPIRES, Like I said, it’s not funny and it damn sure is'nt going to be "friendly" at all... I've been ripped and torn in ways I won't get into detail about with you here.. being astrally puntured and drained and fucking tore up from the floor destroyed was'nt funny. Neither was bleeding out my fucking astral etheric life force plasma for the path I am of.... I am not going to claim anything, not a damn thing, ..I am still here, I am not a phantasmagoric holloform image, but I've chosen my path and I bled because of it.. I gave of my life force and I am sworn to black. There is shit out there that does exist, It exist whether you people "believe" in it or not, that's the irony of the occultium agenda. It exists despite your laughter, your fucking opinion or your quaintly cute and adorable human assumptive guess work and freedom to disclaim and proclaim what is "false” and what "can't happen”.. It exist for purposes your doubt and skeptism fail to comprehend, and it laughs at you right back in your face. Grinning Sentient Expressions of Hatred and Aware Understanding.. Crimson Moon does'nt claim a damn thing.. We advocate something though, but its going to take a very studied person a very learned scholar of the occultium agenda to see it.. Keep thinking that "vampiric stuff is "false, fake, gay, weak and wimpy.. A Harvest Time cometh.. And it cometh soon....

 

THE PRESENT

Crimson Moon is'nt a black metal band that has any ties to any organizations professing support or appreciation for our music or message. We are not part of the lime light or the known American acts that take to the stage.. We are who we are, we've been who we are despite the set backs and despite the God damned bullshit we as personal Brethern have gone through over the years that SHOULD have worn down our will and perserverance, but it did'nt.. and it has'nt.. Its been nearly 5 years since I've spoke out or answered any interview period at all.. Its been a long 5 years and guess what. ??? ..Alot can happen to a motherfucker in 5 years.. You can change your whole out look on life, you can make a career move that could land you a fat cushy desk job, or it could even be filled with so much bullshit and fucking test and endurance test and obstacles and more bullshit.. You could even turn out like me.. I don't think most of you would like that though.. Its been a long 5 years ...I've had alot to say, and I still have alot more to say.... Not here though.. Other times and other places... You know.. Usually I don't say a damn thing about me being in Crimson Moon, it’s personal as you can well see.. but I thought it was time for me to do an interview, speak my mind and settle a few curiousities and inquiries about it all.... Currently Crimson Moon is experiencing yet another set back.. and we're having a brand new "problem" ..and heh, heh, ..I think its a boy... (this does'nt mean one of our Brethern is having a baby, its a damn metaphor to call the "BULLSHIT" we've currently got to face right now..) Heh, heh, heh, ..YESOD does'nt like us very well.. You know so far this "interview" has been more like a damn story or a brief auto biography pertaining to things about me and Crimson Moon and my involvement with various things and I have to say.. Its very strange and awkward to be speaking of matters and agenda like I have done..

 

CURRENT US BLACK METAL SCENE

To be honest I am rather intrigued with much of what I have heard and of course the Brethern whos Cults I am in correspondance with are always Hailed to and remembered. The bands that I have found most able to express the grim kine black metal remants of spirit would be ..Blood Stained Dusk, Abazagoroth, Xasthur, Abysmal Nocturne, Demoncy, Havohej, Judas Iscariot, Krieg, Weltmacht, Nachtmystium, Sol Evil, Black Witchery, Kult Ov Azazel, Ibex Throne, Thornspawn, Khisianth, Averse Sefira, Inquisition, and Blood Storm. And there's a few NS oriented bands that I have heard from the states as well.. As far as I can tell the US underground scene has improved over the years. I like what I am hearing, its not American gutteral death metal influenced and it does'nt sound American, ..Over all I am pleased, although I still look for anything and everything coming out of the Ukraine, Russia and Poland as well.. Norwegian Black metal cults seem to be growing less and less important or something now.. Swedish scene still unleashes some band with absolute talent and demonic intensity. I am in contact with several of the US bands and each one that I am in contact with came only after careful consideration... Some cults that I recomend are Inquisition, Nachtmystium, Blood Stained Dusk, Black Witchery Abysmal Nocturne, Xasthur, Weltmacht, Kult Ov Azazel, die hards...into old school grim kind viscious ugly unfriendly black metal.. Krieg, Judas Iscariot, Ibex Throne and Black Witchery. I know there are many many others that I have either forgotten about or simply did not know of... Nokturne from L.A., Thornspawn, Venificum, Dark Moon, Corpus Corvax, Vukoduluk, ...Hails to those I have missed, ....

FUTURE OF THE BAND

Personally I see Crimson Moon being as it is right now.. Out of public knowledge, out of the popular list of bands and cults available from American black metal scenes and I see Crimson Moon dormant as she is right now. We've got too many damn set backs concerning time constraints, finances and location problems.. We'll get these things settled and straightend out, but as of right now.. Crimson Moon is dormant at the present time, although we are every bit as prepared for the time when we will awaken her.. We just re-pressed the first two shirt designs and are selling for 15 Dollars through Nocturnal Overlord's address...which I'll include at the end of this interview.. These shirts are two designs, one of which is the full color cover painting that is featured on To Embrace the Vampyric Blood cd release. The other shirt design is a angel being basically raped and molested with a crucifix by feme fatale harpy like demonic women bitting into her breast and chest area, arms and wrist... This is a design that Scorpios has Mark Riddick create for our first shirt design back in 1997. Both of these shirts are killer and are very grim in both style and artistry. We are also planning to release Under the Serpentine Spell through a label, but as to who that will be is up to Scorpios's and Overlord's personal desicions.. We were thinking possibly War Hammer would be interested or Hekal Xul Productions from Australia, but as of right now. I can't say what the hell will be happening..

 

LAST HATEFUL VISIONS OF TORTURE....


I don't have any "hateful visions" of torture, but I would like to remind our readers that just because you scoff and laugh and dismiss the Occultium agenda as bullshit and myth fanciful happenings, I'd like to remind you that there are things that exist despite your personal opinions as to their existence do maintain their existence. I think Shakespeare has always said it best.. There are things in heaven and in Earth Horatio, Things that men's sciences can not account for.... I don't have any hateful visions, I do have an understanding, an awareness and a very real sense of recognition for what is to come though, Great are the Actions of Hatred...Mighty are the Works of contempt.. I think I have said quite enough, maybe too much for some of the readers to like or give appreciation for. Well, we'll see what happens won't we. I shall like to Hails my esteemed Brethern Nocturnal Overlord and Vampir Scorpios ..We shall set the fires of the Awakening to strike deep within the minds of man.. A Time cometh and it cometh soon where all who liveth will see they Sleepeth in Now, and then comes the Day of Reckoning, the Sombre Day, A Day when the Winds shall Slay. A Day of Darkness and of Understanding. The D'jin cometh with fury and with wrath awakend.. the incense riseth up to call Ye Dawn, ..To Call Ye Dawn Which Calleth Hate. The Black Star that shineth cold cometh Brethern.. Winds of change bringeth new wisdom, old revelations and the Obsedian Dawn of Enlightned understanding...... Thank you Malefic for asking me to do this.. Please forgive me if this interview did not take the shape and form of what you thought it might have by your questions. It is rather a monstrosity is'nt it. I wish you the best with this new position you now hold for this publication and I wish you the best with Xasthur. You trully have a very unique pale cold void cryptic grim black metal cult ..One of who's expression is clearly honored....Hails to thee and all thy endeavors Malefic........
