Wolfmaster's Music

NOTES: The CD “The Essence of Evil” for the most part differs in the sound and song structure from the last album. The last album “Murder and Religion” was written strictly around keyboards. With this new album, “The Essence of Evil”, I took a different approach and instead I wrote it around my distorted bass. Then I layered keyboards over it. The vocals have changed slightly to add some more variety, and I also included female vocals at some parts to give another level to the overall sound. I originally wrote thirteen songs for this album, then I decided to use only ten of the songs and then finally at the completion of the CD I chose to use only nine songs. The lyrics have a theme which is about the general evil that lives inside us and different evil characters throughout societies. Evil is our internal weapon. We use it when we choose to use it. So pretty much that’s what this album is about, our internal Evil.

NOTES: The CD “Murder and Religion” is the first CD written under my solo project as the Wolfmaster. I started to write the music at the beginning of 2002. My goal was to write all the music for this album on my keyboards which I did. The reason for it was, besides that I love the sound of keyboards, that it was something I had never done before. For the past five years I was in bands and wrote songs on my bass with the rest of the band members. The lyrics have a theme which is about the dark side of Christianity. Since I was making music that gave me the feel of drama I thought there would not be a better theme than evil Christians and religion in general, which causes and has caused so much suffering throughout the centuries.
