Since its creation, K.F.R has always been a way for me to put in sound what my paintings are about, what they have to say. A form of black metal completely freed of conventions and codes inherent to the style without forgetting the influence of the french scene.

Pain/Ter is probably my most personal record both lyrically and musically. It deals with how I perceive Total Art, in the sense of Wagner (Gesamtkunstwerk) and my relation to pain and the Devil. The best way to listen to this album would be while staring at the cover and letting the smell of blood engulfing the room in total darkness to achieve some sort of synesthesia.

Some parts of the album were recorded using frequencies known to cause anxiety, fear and distress. There is nothing pleasant here, nothing enjoyable for the sake of it. Black Metal is for me the quintessence of the true evil that lies within us all.
