Why are all the lyrics in Dutch and the website/socials in English?


Language is a magical vessel. As the blood in our veins it is capable to manifest transcendental elements into this spectral field. A brief insight into the metaphysical aspects of (in this case sound) vibrations and how this connects to the lands of your birth.

All that is vibrates in a certain (combination) of frequencies. These are not so much a blueprint for the actual manifestation, but rather a chronical of all the information it was built out of. So the blueprint is just a part of the total content hidden in these frequencies.

 

When we speak we are combining all conscious and unconscious information to form the frequencies subsequently forming communication. This works best when the frequencies you use to communicate are resonating optimally with your own. The effect of ones mother's tongue has been researched to great lengths. This could also explain why communicating in your own language feels better/saver when you are expressing your deepest thoughts and emotions.

 

Black metal is undyeable an artform where "the right atmosphere (read: the right frequency)" is dominant over technical skill and appearance. We can all relate to ongoing discussions about what is "true Black metal".  To me, Black metal artists are amongst the most brave people around. In the face of the most evil, cold, filthy and raw elements of life and death, we address the weakest parts of our existence and transform or destroy them and anyone who stands in our way, even ourselves if need be. Resonate that and you are the essence of Black metal, even when you play goddamn honky-tonk ...

 

So ... Dutch is the language of my lands. My soul resonates in Dutch, therefor the lyrics of my main vehicle to express my deepest emotions and manifest my deepest wishes are in Dutch. However, I more and more feel the need to radiate my sonic terror and invigorating (hehehe) thoughts to a broader public. Hence the English language is a bridge between my soul and the world. 

 

If you want to read more on the subject of frequencies I can recommend reading "Die Kosmische Oktave" by Cousto. It is widely regarded as standard work on the coherence of frequencies in their effect on our existence.
