Voltigeurs : A term used by Black Snake Cultists to denote the leapers or Vaulters of the Paths on the ‘other side’ of the tree. - Kenneth Grant ‘Nightside of Eden’. 

There have been points upon the path where there has been an inexplicable expansion of musical proficiency, philosophical comprehension and spiritual awareness; all of which have resulted in monumental leaps upon the path. 

‘Teutoburg Forest - Voltigeurs’ is a re-mastering of three definitive songs which exemplify this ‘soul expansive’ experience, where the alignment of the intellect, body, emotion and energy sine waves align and produce a spark of clarity amidst the chaos of creativity. These flares ignited by the soul serve both to illuminate the path and also to remind us of its purpose whilst we traverse the unknown realms; thus exposing the shadow and becoming aware of ‘the Self’. 

‘Seeing God’s Creation and Despising it’, taken from one of the original trident demos (2008). 
This track encapsulates the unconscious possession of the anima and the way in which stagnation and inertia caused by fear will rot the soul. This corruption of perception was reflected as spite. But Despite the disdain, the soul’s call to realign with a divine harmony pierced through the pain. and where there was once despair, now a direction. 


‘Malkuth Transforms into Lilith’ taken from ‘Horns Curve into Broken Circles’ (2011): 
Delving into the; spiritual, philosophical and psychological; literature, practice and lifestyle resulted in the once unconscious engagement with the anima, to become a conscious engagement. ‘Malkuth Transforms into Lilith’ is a literal invitation and calling for the shadow to enter into your existence. The conscious amalgamation of the unconscious provides the knowledge (via experience) to recognise ones own destructive capacity, becoming aware of the once unconscious raging fire to now refine and to serve a defined purpose under ones will. 

As the ego dissolves part 2: 
‘As the ego dissolves’ taken from the original trident demo ‘the Cult of the Individual’ and was the apex of the symbolic ‘death posture’ written and performed in one take to remove any sense of ego. From this thoughtless approach, the self was calling to consciousness to be recognised for what it was, echoing the initial insight from ‘Seeing Gods Creation and Despising it’ 

‘As the ego dissolves part 2’ consummates the frayed liminal concepts. Where ‘As the ego dissolves’ (part 1) was as a desperate unconscious call for the soul to be heard. ‘As the ego dissolves part 2’ is the exchange between the perceived and conscious self. By acknowledging, engaging and understanding the anima, it transmutes, leaping from naivety to comprehension and as the reflection evolves so does it opposite revealing the formula: 

DONN PHILO SOPHIA.

Seeing God’s Creation and Despising it

From its inception in 2008, Teutoburg Forest has embraced Black Metal as the medium to explore the unknown realms. Inspired by bands which use philosophical and spiritual themes to guide their creative output, Teutoburg Forest’s intention is to refine one’s awareness by consciously engaging with the unconscious, gaining knowledge and wisdom via direct personal experience. To achieve this goal, the founding member ‘Donn Philo Sophia’ utilises that which is forbidden and hidden to craft a ferocious sound in which the soul is forcibly put to the grind stone. The friction focuses one’s attention to the ‘Now’ and the resulting sparks are used to illuminate the path which leads to the acknowledgement of self. 

As the coiled serpent, Teutoburg Forest struck with three self-released demos simultaneously: ‘Chao Ab Ordo’, ‘Anti-Subhuman Scum’ and ‘Cult of the Individual’. Immediately gaining recognition for its authenticity by publications such as ‘Zero Tolerance #26’ stating: “This is Black Metal as it should be, uncompromising and bombastic, intelligent and evil” as well as being featured in the book ‘Hideous Gnosis - Black Metal Theory Symposium 1’. During this time Teutoburg Forest performed live in the United Kingdom supporting ‘Hecate Enthroned’ and ‘Abgott’.

In 2010, various gates were opened and Donn Philo Sophia experienced a monumental shift in perception. Musically this manifested through genres that did not relate to Black Metal, though there was an understanding that the next Teutoburg Forest album would be an amalgamation of these various sounds and styles and so the decision was made to explore these various angles, learn from the experiences to then cultivate a multifaceted sound.  

‘Donn the Philosophy’ was created to refine the Black Metal Arte. And In 2011 ’Donn the Philosophy’ supported ‘Taake’ and ‘Byfrost’ on a European Tour. As well as supporting ‘Christ Agony’ ‘Inquisition’ ‘Revenge’ ‘Corpus Chirsti’ and ‘Bal-Sagoth’. With the release ‘Horns Curve into Broken Circles’.

In 2019 Teutoburg Forest released ‘Voltigeurs’ - ‘leapers or Vaulters of the Paths on the ‘other side of the tree’, which is a re-mastering of three definitive songs from its back-catalogue, exemplifying the explosive soul expansion whilst treading the serpent’s path and lays the foundation for the ‘Teutoburg Forests’ first studio album ‘Enantiodromia’.
