¨But even in casual, offstage attire, Khan still casts a magisterial figure: He insists that his Pitchfork interview be conducted with his associate Jamal, the latest recruit into his Kukamongas clan, a secretive voodoo "death cult" whose membership includes the Black Lips and BBQ (Mark Sultan, Khan's frequent collaborator and former bandmate in 1990s Montreal garage brats the Spaceshits). With Jamal maintaining a mostly silent, Professor Griff-like pose beside him, Khan mouths off on the Canadian welfare system, Little Richard, Germany, racism, black metal, having sex with cheese-- pretty much everything except his latest release, The Supreme Genius of King Khan & the Shrines, a Vice Records compilation that collects tracks from obscure singles and mostly European-only releases. Because Khan don't care about the past; for him, the time is-- and always has been-- now.¨
And this band for a nothing band has some videos on youtube that have abnormally high production values. Seems a lot like James Alefantis. He has almost zero talent but is involved with some video productions of pretty decent quality. Seems these Satanist can get quality videos made when ever they want?
Hey, nice find on this interview... I decided to dig a little bit deeper. "King Khan and the Shrines" have a number of music videos... some of the more recent ones were produced by Hylas Film (http://www.hylas-film.com/))
As for the example you posted (Born to Die) - there is a depiction of an owl, death, a bull-headed figure mixing what appears to be herbs, milk? and wine/blood? Somewhat reminiscent of spirit cooking. With children bringing him the ingredients.
There is also another video entitled Bite My Tongue - https://vimeo.com/67150172 (also by Hylas Film), that contains graffiti of a dead rabbit, a hot dog being provided to the main 'superhero', the chorus sings "I'll bite my tongue" x 3 followed by "I'll keep my mouth shut for you", a fake newspaper called the Daily Hylas with a pentagram in the middle and hieroglyphics, a pimp eating ice cream (strawberry), the main character, Khan also has what appears to be a pizza shaped logo on his belt.
This pizza shaped belt is also seen in Moonduo (by Hylas) https://vimeo.com/94821020?from=outro-embed Which also contains the crescent moon logos we saw @ Comet (which they eat similar to Eucharist)
And this is just creepy... https://vimeo.com/93059722 Another Hylas video, with kids and clowns and a butcher handing over what looks to be bags of meat for grilling.

And who is "Hylas"? Apparently, the youth-boy lover of Heracles from Greek Mythos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylas
Strange symbolism across multiple video projects and a very Alefantis'esque name origin (based on his Instagram image).

Yeah, that picture of that kid is so fucked up. So much trauma behind those eyes. It's why what we are doing is so important. We will win.
