"To me, music is a powerful form of magic, connecting me to my highest goals. Yes, there is a cost, but the reward far exceeds any mundane expectations. The ultimate reward lies in connecting to something greater – a catalyst for change and a fulfilment that cannot be measured by record sales or ticket numbers. It's about the transformation that occurs within and the impact we can have on others, creating a ripple effect that transcends the physical realm."

"The concept of 'evil' in 'Devildom' is far more complex than traditional views suggest. We reject the simplistic binaries of good and evil, recognizing them as reflections of shifting societal norms that have changed dramatically over time. What is seen as 'evil' today may have been celebrated in a different era, and we have moved beyond those narrow definitions. Moral law, a construct of humanity, seeks to uplift the weak against the powerful, yet throughout history, actual laws have often undermined this moral vision. In the end, morality is hard to define and can't be proven easily, it goes beyond clear judgments, leading us to reconsider what we believe."

"I see no separation between magic and art. Ultimately, our exploration aims to open a nexion through which primordial energies can flow, and in the devil we find expression and manifestation of our darkest desires. We seek to channel ancient forces and connect with the primal energies that resonate with our higher selves, transcending our definitions of existence. It's not about a simplistic view of evil; instead, we celebrate a rich tapestry of spiritual and acosmic elements that shape our music and art. In this light, 'Devildom' becomes a ritualistic expression that defies easy categorization, inviting listeners to reflect deeply on the nature of existence and the mysteries that lie beyond."

"Is the day of reckoning approaching for humanity? The signs are unmistakable, and through our music, we attempt to usher in the inevitable. As we embrace the darkness, we do so not just as observers, but as participants and heralds of the hungry end."
