FOREWARD: I posted an abbreviated version of this once, but it was instantly flooded with virulent antisemitic troll comments, and it freaked me out enough to delete and try again…but as they say, when you’re catching a lot of flack, you’re over the target, so here goes again (please downvote Nazi trolls if the spirit compels you).

I found out about his record label, Sacred Bones Records, a few years ago and have been following it ever sense, only recently realizing how overtly political, pedophilic, satanic/occultist, eschatological it’s catalog’s turned out to be.

One of the bands on the label, Marshstepper, does literal satanic rituals as a performance. 

I’ve spoken to the front man, personally. He claims not to believe in “good” or “evil”, and expects a heater-skelter style civil war to break out in America.

Here’s a short overview of what Sacred Bones is about. Review, research, let me know what you think:

• Album: Ghosthouse 12"

Ghosthouse shares a basic configuration with the previous Uniform releases, but the tools have evolved far beyond their initial drum machine and bass synth setup. These songs have grown from a broader palette of sounds - shots, explosions, implosions, impacts, ricochets, collapse; the sounds of conflict, war, and destruction that we witness every day. The result is the most sonically confrontational Uniform material to date, and Berdan’s lyrics, largely inspired by his lifelong battle with insomnia and depression, match them for relentlessness.

ARTIST: Blanck Mass

• Album: World Eater

*This album cover features the gnarling teeth of a dog.


“As humans, we are aware of our inner beast and should therefore be able to control it. We understand our hard-wired primal urges and why they exist in an evolutional sense. We understand the relationship between mind and body. Highly evolved and intelligent, we should be able to recognize these genetic hangovers and control them as a means to act positively and move forward as a compassionate species. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Recent global events have proven this. The human race is consuming itself. World Eater, the new album by Benjamin John Power’s Blanck Mass project, is a reaction to this. There is an underlying violence and anger throughout the record, even though some of these tracks are the closest Power has ever come to writing, in his words, “actual love songs.”" [https://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/collections/frontpage/products/sbr174-blanck-mass-world-eater]
