CHRONCLES OF CHAOS INTERVIEW CONTINUED
So if I didn't call myself an Arkanist, I would  definitely call myself a
Satanist. But I do not believe in Satan, nor in God. Those two fuck-ups can't exist, not in my way of thinking. Kaos is the only thing lasting. Kaos is the mother of everything.
CoC: The concept of Kaos seems to play an important role in your art.
What does this idea represent within the worldview of Arckanum?
S: As I just said, Kaos is the mother of everything and is  the  only thing that will last forever. Kaos is one of  the  pillars  of  my religion. I live by, in, and of Kaos. I am a man from and of Kaos.
CoC: Clearly, forests are a great source of inspiration for your art. Do
you find other natural places similarly inspiring?  (Meadows, marshes,
caves, swamps?) Or is there  something  unique  to  the forest which you
find especially potent? What is  it  about  the forest which you find so
powerfully inspiring?
S: I love everything within the forest  landscapes,  caves,  marshes,
swamps, etc. What I find so powerful with the forest is the  chaos that
is pulsing through its veins, the sides and worlds  that  are so well
hidden that they might take five human lives to  find.  To see the
darkness as the key to a new dimension and  as  a  burning candle
through paths that are gone in daylight. I think the spirit world in
forests is very important to remember, and not to destroy the beauty of
their kind. Societies are ruled by money,  and  cash rules  the  stupid  so-called  humans  that  destroy  the  forest landscapes just to  get  power  and  money.  The  damn  fools  are reaching for the wrong power. Money ain't shit, and the same  goes for humans. If I am going to rule, I'll kill, rape  and  burn  the human bodies to a crisp and fuckin' piss on their ashes.
CoC: What do you think is in store for a civilization which turns its
back on Nature?
S: I don't know, but if there is a Hell (which I don't  believe!),  I
hope they burn and burn while their beloved and their children get raped
by the large-dick-demons and lacerated by glowing razors.
CoC: _Fran Marder_ and _Kostogher_ are  the  first  two  parts  of  a
planned four-part series of works. What can you  tell  us  about the
next two parts? How will they relate to  _Fran  Marder_  and
_Kostogher_, musically and thematically?
S: I wanted to release  all  four  albums  as  one,  but  I  saw  the
impossibility, so I had to release them as four albums. So I don't see
any difference between the four albums. They are  just  sorted in four
different sides/ages. You will  hear  differences  in  the sound, of
course, but not much. My  new  albums  are  not  as  the four-part epic;
it's another age.
CoC: I have heard that you are also planning a book. Please  tell  us
more. Is  the  book  a  collection  of  lyrics?  Poems?  Ritual?
Philosophy? Artwork? How will the book add to  the  totality  of
your/Arckanum's self-expression?
S: I cannot tell that much about the  book.  But  I've  included  the
things you named.
CoC: What can you tell  us  about  your  side  project,  Tassemarkers
Vaeruld?
S: It's a kind of ritual gathering that Sataros and I have created to
honor our mighty world Kaos and Pan and the Red Dragon. The  album will have two different chapters which raise  our  egos  over  the supreme
seas of blood. We cannot  just  go  into  the  studio  and record the
whole album, because our magic plays a big part in this creation, and we
have to listen to its ways.
CoC: Thank you for your artistry, and for taking the time to reply to
this interview. Any parting words?
S: Thank you for supporting the darkest sides of our tribe.  May  Pan
rape your Nymphs and your light.
