Sorry if this has been pasted before:

"First thing I do when I wake up is listen to Paracletus. Then I have breakfast, bitter waters of course. After I drink I have my shower where I listen to Paracletus again. As a cleanser, I like to go for a run where I typically listen to a lighter album like Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice or even Infernal Battles. When I get back it's lunch time and I'll listen to Paracletus while my bitter waters quench my thirst. While I eat I like to enjoy a nice documentary, specifically one about Black Metal. Following that extended screen time I like to keep my mind sharp with some reading. So I'll read and interpret the lyrics to Paracletus, of course I have the album playing in the background so I'm 100% focused

By now my day is going pretty good and I usually want to share it with somebody else. So I'll call up some friends to hang out. We like to seek strength, justice and splendor together but mostly we listen to Paracletus. After we all listen to the album together in our listening circle we head back to my place for dinner where I serve up some bitter waters to quench our first. Just for the sake of ambiance, I'll play Paracletus in the background. Dinner conversation tends to be lively as we each share our favorite moments from Paracletus.

My friends go home after this, as the fun as to stop somewhere. I'm only human so pardon me if this is graphic but I do enjoy a bit of masturbation before I sleep. I'm not really adventurous, I masturbate to vanilla, lesbian sex and oral (paraclitoris licking is my personal favorite) but mostly just the cover art of Paracletus. Following that I clean myself up and unwind with a bit of music; Paracletus being my favorite. That's when I hop into the shower for a brief and relaxing warmth, I'm pretty clean by now I just want to ease up my muscles. Then it's time for bed. Being something of an audiophile I like to listen to music while I sleep. After I hit play to start up the song 'Epiklesis I' I drift to sleep." -Duarte Martinho

yeah and he did an art exhibition with some other guys in finland and it was like photos of old women and ugly women sucking dicks, mutilated bodies, and one of them glued dead flies onto a painting he did with blood splatters and other shit. They actually have a Tumblr page believe it or not.

''Aspa seeks to portray urges and interest from a predatory and masculine angle. The majority of his body of work revolves around themes of degradation and abuse spiced with an extensive amount of decay. His work aims to destroy any elements of an actual person’s ego or mundane being and transform everything into objects of pure aesthetic value. His work focuses often on the theme of decay. Be it moral decay, the physical condition of portrayed object or its surroundings.''

This seems pretty in line with Deathspell's lyrical concepts, although I'm pretty sure the guitarist writes most of the lyrics. From what I can tell, the guitarist Hasjarl seems like the poetic, sophisticated, well-read person of the group and seems to control a lot of the band's output. Mikko seems more blunt and brawn. Also, since Hasjarl lives in France and Mikko in Finland, I'm not sure they're really in contact all that much.

I think maybe this Hasjarl guy was a college student in France that studied a lot of literature and just sort of put that into the band. He knows a LOT about texts.

What is it with people who make music automatically thinking they have stuff to say in other art forms and that stuff is somehow worth saying?



Being able to express yourself in one art form (music) means nothing about your ability to create meaning in another.



Exhibit A this guy

Yeah fuck people who like to create art in more than one medium, makes me fucking sick! God, why doesn't he just go and be quiet in a hole until the new Deathspell comes out. Fuck his creative fulfilment or drive in all aspects except the one I personally like! Jesus. Some people. Selfish cunts.

Yeah that's just not what I said is it?



Bad art is bad art - doesn't make me sick, doesn't mean no-one should be making it. Just makes it bad, and surprise surprise people who are less experienced at one type of art tend to not be very good at it.



That was my point chill

''We chose to work with Mikko A. after we noticed how close we actually are'' - taken from the interview.

It makes sense to me.

I'm such a fool, clearly I should be following the routine outlined by Duarte Martinho in order to fully appreciate Paracletus.

Bad art is subjective how is this not understood

Better get all hysterical about it.

Bad art is subjective to someone that doesn't understand art lol

That's the dumbest comment I've ever read on this site

Yeah I'm afraid that doesn't make one iota of sense, how can you objectively dissect a piece of art? There are no set rules which need abiding to in order for art to qualify as 'good', would've thought someone on a music forum might understand that.

You can't really quantify any art form in that way because it'll mean different things to different people & cannot be interpreted from a perspective you don't have/understand.

I've probably explained this badly although it really shouldn't NEED explaining.

It doesn't need explaining. Anyone who thinks otherwise is objectively wrong, and that's a fact.

He ended his argument with 'lol', that's usually a sign that you are not dealing with the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Blunt knives are good for buttering
