Interview with Blackhouse
What is your opinion on family living and incest?
The FAMILY is most important because these are your mentors & icons who
raise you in your life & influence you the most. Unfortunately, this
holds
true whether you have a GOOD family or the manson family. Therefore, in
order to perpetuate the GOOD vibe throughout the world, the FAMILY must
be
good to each other & then this factor carries on from generation to
generation - repeating itself & reverberating the echoes of quality
life to
make the world a better place.
As far as the "incest" part of your question.... only a fool would
believe
that incest in a valued quality in life. It's hard enough growing up as
it
is... and Lord knows: LOVE & SEX themselves carry a tremendous amount of
extra baggage: feelings that never die - no matter how long. We don't
need
feelings of guilt & confusion... we need feelings of freedom & joy.
Do you see violence as a source of inspiration?, would it feel right
for you to go out and hurt/kill people for fun?
As for the first part of your question: Violence CAN be an inspiration
- to
make you do whatever you must in order to conquer & abolish it. Violence
has no place in a world of LOVE.
The second part: It's never correct to do anything negative... "hurt"?
"kill"? These are the emotions of a soul defeated. Now: that is NOT to
say
that we don't get "ANGRY" about things in life, but we are angry at THE
SYSTEM. Then, the actions taken are designed to attack a SYSTEM. To
topple
the corrupt power system that feeds on HURT & perpetuates agony. That is
our goal.
Your question says "would it feel right for you to go out and hurt/kill
people for fun?".... and this is the ultimate senseless sin because:
#1 - it's NOT right to hurt or kill
#2 - for "fun"? Not even for a cause? Not even for a reason?
Pure stupidity, and THAT is what's wrong with the world... it's bad
enough
that anyone would hurt OR kill in itself, but to do it for "fun"? PEOPLE
ARE LIVING LIVES THAT SERVE NO PURPOSE!!!! It's the ultimate in empty
living - to do things for NO reason. This attitude bugs me the most
because
of its implicit thoughtlessness.
In the belief of heaven and a god, do you thik that you will come to
heaven, are you good people, do you use this goodness in your music?
I think so.... I believe so.... I hope so.... but it is not OUR
decision or
judgment. Our mission is to spread GOOD throughout the world. It is
infinitely more important to spread GOOD than to spread BAD. We do this
with our music. We are soldiers in the fight against the negative vibe.
This is what we do.
Flowers are a good thing, right on baby, lets save the world, you have
to believe in yourself, you have to feel the love. Doesnt this sound a
bit outdated and even naive perhaps?
No.
"let's save the world".... outdated? HA! Now more than ever! We're all
living here - NOW. Time to do what's right to make it better. Is YOUR
living room filled with garbage? I doubt it. So why would you let the
REAL
living room be filled with trash? If your car was full of dirty diapers,
would you leave it that way? I doubt it. You'd clean it up for YOUR
sake.
Right? Well... we live in this WORLD & it's about time we take CARE of
it.
For OUR sake! Mommy & Daddy are NOT going to clean your room for you
anymore - it's time we all grow up... and more importantly: GROW UP
RIGHT.
"believe in yourself".... outdated? HA! If YOU don't believe in
yourself...
who else will ... or should? EVERY idea came from a belief. A belief
that
was carried through to its logical conclusion.
"feel the love".... outdated? Everyone should know what real love feels
like... at least ONCE in their life. Why not give in & just feel it...
live
it... FOREVER? Sure feels better than real hate - doesn't it?
"naive'"???? To me, it's naive to think otherwise!
How do you feel about homosexual/bisexual love, do you practise it?
I refuse to judge people on this point. It's not my job to judge
people's
sexual orientation or expertise. All I can say is: LOVE YOURSELF & the
rest
will follow. Do what you TRULY believe is right. A lot of PREACHERS say
that being GAY is a sin.... You WON'T EVER HEAR BLACKHOUSE SAY
THAT!!!!!!
BLACKHOUSE does NOT judge people on this! If someone HONESTLY loves
someone
else of the same sex, who are WE to say that that is "wrong"? Nobody...
no
MORTAL can make judgment calls of this type. LOVE is the important
thing.
However, we do not condone CASUAL sex of any kind.... The implications
of
this are far too great in this day & age to dismiss so lightly!
As for the part about "practicing it".... no BLACKHOUSE is not a "gay"
band... but like I said.... this is not a judgment call. It's merely a
truthful answer.
If the stereotype is just the most common being, is it then right to
neglect him and say that his vison is lesser worth and should not be
called as "good" as yours. Why is it pathetic?
The "pathetic" part comes when people do things because they feel that
"that's the way everyone else does it". BLACKHOUSE believes in the
power of
individual expression. If a million kids wore nin shirts, it would be
pathetic for one more kid to do that JUST BECAUSE every other kid did
it.
Same goes for BLACKHOUSE t-shirts, but we have never had to worry about
that because BLACKHOUSE is an original.... we don't cater to "fans",
groupies, journalists or preachers. We pursue the goals & ideals of
GOOD,
and we do that the BLACKHOUSE way. We are free from the MATERIAL WORLD
in
our quest for truth. The ties that bind are the ties that blind. Nobody
tells us what to do.... no MORTAL anyway..,... and even then.... we
aren't
TOLD what to do.... we are shown PATHS & we follow these paths to new
worlds of beauty & truth.
Shall we kill animals?
NOT for the sake of killing them.... life has its own rewards & purpose.
People DO eat meat.... it's a natural part of the way the world works,
but
unfortunately, the BUSINESS of eating meat has become a sickening
slaughterhouse of contemptuous corruption. Animals are born & bred &
live
their whole lives in a jail just waiting to be slaughtered for a BIG
MAC.
THAT is a sin, but we humans are far removed from that because it is
HIDDEN
from us... so we ignore it & look the other way. To me.... I believe
vegetables and fruits are healthy alternatives to meat, but I truly do
NOT
look down on say.... going fishing & using your fishing skill to land a
fish & then gut it, clean it & eat it. This is a natural chain of
consumption.... animals do it..... is a bear a sinner or a "killer"
because
he swipes a trout out of a river & chomps it down? Ha! Animals are not
sinners.... animals are not businessmen!
how do you feel about neglection of your music because of its christain contense and your attitude?
I laugh at it. Truly. The most pathetic excuses come from labels...
like...
for example: A label from England approached us to do a CD, and then
balked
at it because they "found out" we were Christians. They said that they
didn't want to put out "religious" music. BUT the other bands on the
label
included PSYCHIC TV and some band called ARCHON SATANI or something!
Now -
Genesis P. Orridge created Psychic TV as a CHURCH... thee temple of
psychick youth. And ANY BAND that is supposedly a "satan" band is a
religious band. No doubt. So, what we have here is just a label that
knows
NOTHING about its bands, and perhaps less about the world in general. I
always get a kick out of people's reactions to BLACKHOUSE. Nobody knows
what to make of it... And the supposedly "satanic" labels are afraid of
it.... many Christian labels too. BECAUSE BLACKHOUSE is a band that is
too
powerful to be kept in a cage... and that is the BIGGEST FEAR of all. NO
MORTAL can control BLACKHOUSE... the BEST labels are run by the people
who
know that they cannot even try to control BLACKHOUSE! They see
BLACKHOUSE
as a free spirit - an entity unto itself, and they just let BLACKHOUSE
run
with the ball.... to take "IT" to a new level because that is what
BLACKHOUSE is good at. "Dark Ambient"?.... "Black Metal"?... "Dark
Dungeon
Music"?.... "Christian Industrial"?.... The list goes on & on... WHO DO
YOU
THINK CREATED THESE GENRES & EXCELLED AT/IN THEM?
"Hidden Beneath The Metal" is some of the most potent - scary -
powerful -
psychic - death-defying NOISE in the history of the world, & laid down
the
path for many imitators - some good / some bad. The voices of the Dead
are
on that record.... but it is the VOICE OF LIFE that prevails. And
BLACKHOUSE brought it to you. Some may say "oh - BLACKHOUSE is so
egotistical or conceited", but that is NOT the case. We just know what
we
have done & what we have accomplished. It is not conceited for Edison to
say he invented the light bulb or for Einstein to claim credit for the
theory of relativity, so why is it conceited to state the fact that
BLACKHOUSE created certain types of music? It's not. It's the truth.
Do you drink coffe?
Yeah. Beer too. We also ride motorcycles faster than the speed limit.
Shall the thiefs take their punishment?
That's NOT up to us to decide.... all I can say is: What goes around -
comes around. There have been people who stole things from us.... and I
DO
believe they have already been punished for that. But WE are not the
enforcers, punishers or judges. No MORTAL can be.
SUMMARY:
BLACKHOUSE is NOT about control - only corrupt governments & bankrupt
powers servers wish to issue control on anyone.
BLACKHOUSE IS about FREEDOM. The freedom to be yourself ... in the best
way
possible - thereby allowing others the same consideration.
Don't do IT for us.....
Do IT for yourself.....
And the world will reflect your freedom & magnify it ONE MILLION times.
Amen
