Influences
"The gigantic catastrophes that threaten us today are not elemental happenings of a physical or biological order, but psychic events. To a quite terrifying degree we are threatened by wars and revolutions which are nothing other than psychic epidemics. At any moment several millions of human beings may be smitten with a new madness, and then we shall have another world war or devastating revolution. Instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts, earthquakes, landslides, and inundations, modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche."(Carl Jung)
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.”(Biblical Script)

If you are wondering why we have our own player as well as the Myspace player; it is because, sonically speaking, the one we have here sounds much better (there's a blog about it above). We only use the Myspace player from time to time because people have requested it for the purposes of adding songs to their profile etc.
Thanks for stopping by and checking this page out! We hope to meet you all at the shows..cheers!
