the vacancy of individualistic details. Understandably
the Florida hear is enough to broil flesh from bone and
to smite hours worth of artistically crafted make-up in
mere seconds, but to smear black grease across an
unclean face is an affront to what the Goth movement
once was. “I was there when the whole Goth thing
kicked off, the whole band was. To see kids do it
nowadays…I get it, I understand, you want to be apart
of the scene.. Just go and do something defining for
fucks sake. I’m glad the whole scene back from the
eighties is coming back around. But now, it’s kids
with black make-up and baggy pants. What’s that
about? Pick one or the other, don’t try to mix it up.
When I was a teenager, it was the
original Goth. It was, especially with
the girls, how immaculate that you
could be. You had to be so fucking
clean, so fucking immaculate, so
fucking perfect. I knew the women
would spend hours doing their
make-up and hair, because the pencils
on the face had to be perfect. I just
wish we could be rid of that whole
bloody grunge-goth mess. Uck. They
look like they rolled out of bed and
smeared black tar on their face. Kids
nowadays just try to imitate these
emo bands. They believe they can put
make-up on and be old school, but at
the end of the day they can never get
there. As far as I’m concerned, you
had to be around in that particular time
[the eighties] to really appreciate the
goth scene.”

Paul and the boys don’t spend all their time on their make-up. They’re
always fast at work allowing their trade to carry them to new heights,
roaming troubadours in constant search for that defining sound that will
sooth the soul or rattle the beast within. “We’ve been called screamo and I
don’t even know what the fuck screamo means. Hardly. We’re a rockin’
out metal band. That’s all we are. Unfortunately the press now adays have
to pitch it one way or the other. They can’t just say they’re a metal band.
Someone always has to ask ‘what type?’ Why have a type? Screamo, as far
as I’m concerned, sounds like a new fade. It sounds like someone trying to
describe metal when they never understood what metal was to begin with.
Whats scream? You might as well call something homo for fucks sake, you
know what I mean? Thornography is just a progression. We didn’t plan to

- do it like that, we didn’t plan for
it to even sound like that. That’s
just what happened. We don’t
plan any of the albums to come
out as they do. Take the new
stuff, I’m writing new stuff and
it’s speed everywhere again. It’s
real goth-keyboards-orchestra
again. We don’t plan what albums
sound like, that’s just how it
comes out. At the end of the day
we just make albums and if
people don’t like us, then who
cares? Even if the band goes tits
up tomorrow we’re going to still
be writing music. We do what we
do. The new album is going to be
a bit more like Dusk, but more
modern.”
