The band was born out of a need to transcend the surface of pointless
metal and punk that overflows Norway's borders. Why just get
inspiration from international unholy culture when just outside the
living room window you will find the purest horror you can imagine?
Both the Norwegian natural landscape and on the outskirts of every
city is filled with all kinds of vile pleasures for young creative
souls.
The basis of the mood and the lyrics of "No Light For Mass" is a
fascination for atheist metaphysics. While feeding the ego is
increasingly taking up space on the Internet and the media,
Okkultokrati latches onto the concept of the general state of the New
Age movement and its fringed side tracks. If you look behind the
colorful rainbows and happy-go-fatal philosophies you will find
aborted reincarnations, astral mutilation, and telepathic deportation.
Okkultokrati channels the negative energy into 9 tracks of nekro
spirituals and encourages spiritual rationality.
I have no idea what they're talking about in the second paragraph, although it sounds great. "...aborted reincarnations, astral mutilation, and telepathic deportation"? Filled with much angst and overall fuck-it-ness, this band fulfills the urge to lash out and give a big middle finger to whatever it is that's pissing you off. I'm actually a very happy guy, so I don't really have anything in particular to aim that middle finger at, but sometimes it feels good to know you can.
Music video overview:
Black and white. Norwegian landscape of snow and trees. Walking angrily through a tunnel. Solo headbang in tunnel. Angry faces in the dark. Swinging a torch in an abandoned area. Walking alone across a barren landscape. More headbanging in a tunnel. Bloody hand on a wall. Solo headbanging in a closed off doorway. Carrying a torch like a zombie. Angry poses. First person view of skiing downhill.
All in all, awesome. I love this shit.
