There was a great sense of loss in the room, an unspoken tension that hung in the air. Around the church small groups huddled, elsewhere individuals sat alone, cautiously looking over their shoulders. They had vowed not to be speculative, to keep their minds open and be vulnerable to whatever may come their way. Today they would contact their loved ones, lost ones, and give themselves up to the unknown and the unexpected. 

Keys is a new collaborative project from German native Benedikt Frey and producer Chris Cox, who have joined forces for eight tracks that hypnotise and intrigue. In the words of Berlin-based label R.i.O. who bring this moody release direct to your ears, "allow Keys to seal you in their infinite vacuum of flirtatious melancholia."

There is no god, only people using the others' need of finding purpose in their insignificant existence.

There is no satan neither, satan is creation of the "holy" people to keep the believers scared, and thus easily controlled, obeying the true demons which those preachers serve - also people like you and me.

Hell is real, and it is on Earth. If you don't get what I mean, you are either part of the lucky minority or too stupid, or probably both.

The true evil does not like those educated in a way to be able to tell right from wrong without their shepherd.

Being kind to all and everything is purpose good enough. The evil always comes as an angel of light and gradually prevails. Those who truly believe that their purpose is to lead the others in the right direction are to be feared the most.

Providing proper education is fighting against evil. Perhaps your mother or first grade teacher is the real hero - those who fight in wars kill people.

p.s. They might say I'm fucked up.  Some like and pay to watch movies that scare them shitless, often involving a lot of blood and murder – isn’t that fucked up? These days, I can listen to 70-80s and nowadays truly good music more and more rarely. Actually, I have never had my own TV. Тhe TV news I catch in friends or relatives usually make me sad. It seems most people are interested in others' suffering more than anything else - the majority of them definitely deserve their faith.

p.s.2 This is my current view and I don't pretend it is right. It might change, everything changes.
