3. I always had an interest in topics such as paganism, luciferianism. As a band the drummer and I consider our beliefs to be spiritual and pagan but I personally wanted the lyrics to be more on the horror side. I love old horror movies and writing music and lyrics with those movies as an influence just made me happier. I plan on exploring different topics in the future.

4. The aggressiveness and mystery I would say is what it brings out
