Interview:

What is there in front of us? Within our space and time? Humanity has always answered these questions by naming or calling upon some divinities, and by seeking the unknown. To communicate with the other side is the oldest tendency on which is superimposed little by little through scientific research. However, to communicate with the spiritual world is not that simple. It requires us to leave what is commonly known as our space and time, and to leave oneself in ecstasy. The severe disciplines of sacrifices and asceticism were always used by eager men to get closer to their gods. These gods are believed by very few people and do not contribute to gathering men on a higher level to reach and request that tribute or communion. Dance and music, being able to reach, or at least get closer to, that state of ecstasy, were originally the languages used to speak with the gods. One and the other requires of the individual to draw from a body which must be an endeavor to use, to control, the dash of the movements and sounds which express what cannot be “said”, or simply accompany and underline what one wants to say. One should not be astonished by the privilege granted to the music in the 64 dialogue with entities for support, intensification and emphasis of the words, simplicity of an art which only exists with and through the human voice, but in which, one locates a marvelous harmony with the world and our surrounding.

Music is an art which brings back each one to oneself and transports out of oneself. In the meantime, an art which supposes the presence of a partner, the public, and in some cases a mutual respect when people are on the same level, may it be blasphemous, desecrative, religious, or spiritual. The music, initially sacred and functional in this role, revealed with the wire of the ages its own power on humanity and his society; it conquered, just like men, an autonomy. The history of the reports and ratios of music and religion make it possible to contribute on a certain level to the deciphering of what humanity and his visions are about.

In our case, Enthroned, we use music as a vehicle for the visions and experiences of the four members of our band through the Median path; the path of balance through the roots of occultism and Satanism in it’s purest and original form. Some of our tunes are darker than some genres due to our message which is based on those old Satanic doctrines, and therefore, there is an oppressive, and very powerful aura behind it which is spread with the alliance of some entities, sometimes on our behalf. In my opinion, the spiritual significance of music cannot have a single definition. It is a personal feeling to every different being. Anybody with a little bit of intelligence will agree on the fact that music transports emotions, carries feelings on a higher level, and improves human perceptions.
