Interviews

You've stated in a past interview that you are anti-Christian. Could you elaborate on this and give us your thoughts on Christianity? How long have you felt this way?
(Neptune) Well, I have pretty much had doubts about Christianity as long as I can remember. Of course you don't have such strong feelings when you are a kid, but after that when you get more mature and you start to think what the hell is going on. The more you read books related to religion and stuff the more you are certain that Christianity is nothing in the modern society. I'm a really strong supporter of individuality and I hate those Christian hordes gathering around the priests begging for forgiveness just to be able to 'sin' again after the ceremony. I think most of the Christians are really hypocritical when doing these deeds as they call 'sins' and then they go to church on Sunday morning with a big smile on their face, oh 'I'm a believer, hallelujah' and like nothing happened. It's really pathetic that they are denying loads of natural feelings and desires like lust and greed etc. when this is only driving them towards those things. Take for example catholic priests living in celibacy, but actually they are molesting/ sexually abusing those choir boys as much as they can and what's more hilarious the church is trying to hide it from the police and from the press. You have even some rehab centers there in USA for those molesting catholic priests in 'celibacy'.

I really believe in the statement that Christians are easy/easier to control as long as they don't have any of their own ideas and point of views and priests really take advantage of this. This is the way to control them in the modern society, people don't buy 'fear the lord' shit anymore and there aren't inquisitors anymore at least not in that way as it used to be. Speaking of inquisition it has merely taken a new form, so there are actually a modern version of inquisition going on all the time at least here in Finland. The media is stating that Satanists are cannibals, they are raping, murdering children etc. Ok, I think this is enough for now.

How would you describe your music to someone who has yet to hear it?
Well, we have a lot melodic/slower parts at least in our debut, but we have also those raw/aggressive fast parts. So they are giving balance to each other. You can't expect almost anything of the music of …and Oceans. We have no limits when considering the music of …and Oceans. It's really hard to explain your own music, when we make it we don't analyze it, we just do what sounds great.

Ok, hypothetically, if 'God' is listening, what would you like to say to him?
(Neptune) How does it feel watching from 'there' helpless when the destruction of your creation is inevitable and near?

So do you posses any kind of religious beliefs yourself?
(Neptune) In fact I don't have any strong religious beliefs, I'm interested in Satanism/black arts though as I read more and more Satanism related literature. I agree to some extent with the philosophies of Satanism like individuality etc. but I don't consider myself as a Satanist though. I believe in myself.
(K-2T4-S) Not exactly.

Do you believe in the afterlife and the existence of the soul?
(Neptune) Not really.
(K-2T4-S) Let me put it this way: It'd be nice to rape oneself and to get pregnant, so I could give birth to myself in form of a color or a shadow, but if, and only if possible, I'd also give birth to my own death, but that would demand that the other I should get pregnant time after time so the new I could constantly be born to observe the birth of the other I's death.

We've spoken about Christianity, now tell us your thoughts on Satanism?
(Neptune) I think there are several directions in Satanism and I think it's hard to find a direction that you fully agree with. I think Satanism is about individuality, acknowledging all the natural feeling/desires not denying them. It's also about not to waste your energy to, feel pity for and even love someone you don't know. Why should you care about them and waste your time on them. These statements describe it well too like 'be your own master' and 'be what you are'. I hate pretending above all!!! This was the philosophical side, but I think there's more to it. You practice Satanism through rites, rituals and masses. I'm more in to the philosophical side though.

If there be a purpose to this life, what would you say it is?
(Neptune) To survive.
(K-2T4-S) Sex, drugs and ambient!

Your thoughts on the modern, mainstream human?
(Neptune) Self-centered, greedy human beings lost in this merciless world.
(K-2T4-S) It depends on how one wants to define the words in question. I'm not so sure if, and only if, humans are so modern, they mostly seem to be Neanderthals, but of course there are exceptions, the modern Neanderthals. Too many people follow norms without thinking about what they really want, but I can't help if, and if is all there is, they are naive and conservative.
