This is not 🦆 paradiseIn the Heart of the Wood and What I Found There
Those trees somehow reminded me of one of my favorite songs.

Pretty Gnostic MachineGod isn't love because it's gentle.
God is love because it survives disintegration.
Love as a psychedelic wound that refuses to close.
Love as the Universe saying,
"I broke you open so you could feel me."

Jøn Ghùll@exusernotfound Ωραία μπάντα οι #Current93 ρε γαμώτο. Τα τελευταία χρόνια τους είχα στο μυαλό μου ως αμφιλεγόμενους. Αλλά καθησυχαστική αυτή η τοποθέτηση που διάβασα στο Reddit παραπάνω.
"short answer: almost certainly not
long answer: c93's early releases do feature an excessive amount of swastikas as well as some questionable lyrics. there's a part in "imperium" that comes to mind where he goes on about how "the jews crucified the christ" and it's pretty uncomfortable. douglas pierce of death in june (ostensibly not a nazi himself, but he does have a self-admitted obsession with nazi germany and uses its iconography in a way that's irresponsible at best imo) was also a member of c93 at the time.
however pierce left the band before "thunder perfect mind" came out, and that album offers some pretty clear statements on the topic: there's "a song for douglas after he's dead", which is explicitly about pierce and paints his nazi obsession in a pretty negative light. there's also the song "hitler as kalki," which david dedicated to his father for fighting the nazis in WW2 and that song includes some pretty clear anti-fascist statements in its lyrics.
as far as i know, david has completely stayed away from nazi imagery since then. it's also worth noting that in his recent book which compiles nearly all his poetry from the start of his career to now, he decided not to print certain early writings (including the "imperium" lyrics mentioned above) that he doesn't want to be associated with anymore. i think it's safe to say that it was a product of ignorance in his younger years and/or douglas pierce's influence on c93's early career."

I was humming "The Inmost Light" this morning, so I might as well listen to the whole The Inmost Light trilogy.
I can never decide which Current 93 album is my favorite, but this is certainly one of them. It just doesn't get much better than this.
