Interview by MALEFIC
HISTORY OF THE BAND
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
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
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
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....

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...).
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
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
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....
