"I’m trying to reformulate what ‘dark music’ or ‘extreme music’ means to me, and to make sure that all formal, structural and aesthetic decisions inform and augment the content. We often think of loud as aggressive and soft as tranquil, but I try to subvert those expectations. For instance, tracks like ‘The Chosen One’ and ‘Holy is the Name (of My Ruthless Axe)’ are both very quiet and repetitive sonically but very brutal lyrically, and in their bareness and focus they can be very uncomfortable to listen to in a way that may not have been effective if they were part of a heavy soundscape. Next to silence, the content becomes inescapable."
