BLACK METAL


One man band of D.A. Siano [Dark Sacrament, ex-Coagulated Blood, ex-Decoder (live)]


From band website:

"

Cold Blank Stare is my solo black metal recording project. I started this in 2005 to do exactly what I wanted to do and express exactly what I wanted to express without any compromise or comeuppance to anyone else. My original concept was to have traditional second wave black metal music with non-traditional lyrics for black metal. This originally manifested itself as political, leaning left (which is how I lean). This project was known as Antihuman in its most infantile of stages.

The first EP Humanity Will Come Undone was released in 2008. This was a crude and mediocre attempt at the concept I had laid out. The music is basically old Mayhem/Darkthrone worship with one slow Xasthur-esque DSBM track, and a ridiculous industrial intro. The lyrics were my biggest failure, as they were positive and humanist in nature, covering the topics of atheism, anti-racism, and world peace. All things I believe strongly in. But I realized that I actually detest when other musicians integrate their politics into their music, regardless of their position (I can tolerate it when it's a position I agree with). I have and will always prefer apolitical music. It's because of these ham-fisted attempts at idealizing, that I am lumped in with loose associations such as RABM (Red and Anarchist Black Metal). RABM is fucking great, and I support their cause as a listener, but I do not want my music to be associated with a political movement, as it were. And I've never thought of myself as either a communist or an anarchist-I stand alone as an island unto myself.

From this point out, unless a political topic burns so deeply in my soul that it has to come out, I plan to make the lyrics apolitical in favor of abstract/personal/whatever the fuck I want to write. The only thing that will be remotely political will be continued expressions of atheism, a topic near to my soul. There will be no satanism, no juvenile evil, no dungeons and dragons. Harsh reality is a topic I explored on the full length The Human Condition: Insights Into Madness, which was released in July of 2011.

I also plan to explore more esoteric musical aspects, such as dissonances, polyrhythms, noise, as well as crust/d-beat type expressions, different vocalizations, doom metal influences, etc. Basically, I'm not limiting this to "old Norway worship", but there still will be a chunk of that, because I enjoy doing that.

I intend to make all of my music free of charge with digital distribution through this blog. There will likely be no physical distribution going forward.
