    The fanzine style of this interview is perfectly fitting.
    Many of the questions asked were great questions that I wanted to know more about.
    As a fan that is also interested in the oocult/esoteric/arcane philosophy, I deeply appreciated the reverence to said topics.
    Excellent interview Mr. Voegtlin, I admire your style.

    I'll second the FUCKING BRILLIANT comment. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Dug that you mentioned Katharsis. While both bands have very distinct and distinguishable sounds, they both succeed in creating similar atmospheres. Speaking of kthrss, it would be beyond excellent if you could ever score an interview w/ them.

    I must say, not to take follow in the praising chain of these last remarks, but this interview was really down to earth and I enjoyed it very much, I have never read anything on LHP that was as interesting as this. Thanks!

    Excellent interview, Stu! Very refreshing to read a thoughtful discussion on such a potent work of art, especially in this era of smug information overload and cynical irony. Seven Chalices is THE album of 2009! KILL THEM PIGS!!!

    I'm in agreement with all of the above. Great to see an interview that pushes a band to explicate its work in such a carefully considered way. I'm also weirdly psyched that the guys in Teitanblood are Umberto Eco fans.

    Voegtlin...you ever read any James Hillman? what this dude says echoes something I read in "the dream and the underworld". along the lines of understanding something intellectually being a death drive. we understand by dissection and ripping shit apart. "let your perception run wild, dont bring it down to earth and crucify it on a cross of words" that part reminded me of that. if you're not familiar with it I think you might enjoy it. great interview and great record in any event.

    Have not read Hillman. His name was constantly mentioned (by annoying contrarians)in "mystic traditions" I took in college. Thrust was: Why are we subjecting a visceral experience to philosophical investigation/analysis? Hillman says... yada yada yada.... Dangerous POV. There's room for understanding art/the world/etc viscerally and intellectually.

    People are threatened by both approaches - or at least wholly subscribing to one or the other - and you need only go to the nearest hive mind messageboard to read kids tossing turds at some critic/poster who dared to attempt understanding DsO's theology or symbolism in BM lyrics, etc.

    "It's music. Turn it on. Turn it up. 'nuff sed. Yada yada yada..."

    This interview with NSK came about over many months and hundreds of e-mails. We didn't even get to the interview until we'd communicated for months. By the time the questions came, his responses were automatic.

    I'd never classify NSK as someone looking to understand the world by dissecting it or ripping shit apart. And the same goes for sitting back and engaging this sort of strange active/passive filter that we turn on when we're getting lit and listening to Motorhead.

    But I would bet NSK'd be down with reading Hillman. He's an open dude.

    hahaha. yeah that's pretty much who would advocate Hillman. I know I've played that part on occasion. he actually came and sat in and spoke in a class of mine in college and it was one of the few academic experiences I still remember. the kind of guy who, whether or not you agree with it, his world view is pretty cohesive. I'm not a disciple but I've found his writing interesting and useful on occasion. a lot of his work is on dreams so ultimately its all a quagmire, but you have to pick and choose what resonates with you.

    I agree I wouldn't classify NSK as someone who looks to understand the world solely by intellectual dissection either. I really appreciated his words about Mercyful Fate and Possessed. I like how he phrased it, sort of advocating leaving your perception/feelings/initial reactions in the celestial. I like the possible implications about the nature of divinity...

    But then again I'd also posit that there's something divine about getting lit and listening to Motorhead.
