Organised crime and organised religion have two things in common: both use blackmail and false promises. And every monotheistic or abrahamic religion has traits of fascism and totalitarianism, because there is only one God— of course, a male entity—who offers the only path to salvation and who justifies the persecution of those of other faiths as well as the devaluation and oppression of women, as we can easily see at present in Afghanistan.

The suppression of female spirituality, identity, and autonomy is the primary doctrine of every monotheistic religion, be it Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. In all these religions, the absolute privilege and unrestricted dominance of men is disguised as piety and orthodoxy; heterosexuality is declared the godly norm, and all other human beings who reject this belief are discredited and devalued as kāfir, goyim, infidels, or sodomites.

The spoken passages in this song are not fictitious, but are literally the current “rules” of the Taliban, which women in Afghanistan must obey if they want to stay alive. “Why?” is our contribution to drawing attention to the intolerable and inhumane situation of women in Afghanistan, because what is being done to the women there on a daily basis is nothing less than slavery and therefore a violation of human rights.

Our next song will be released around Winter Solstice 2025.

Ayuma inspired me to this song, because of her love and admiration for all birds, which is why we always go out from fall to spring to feed the wild birds at our feeding station in the forest, which Ayuma set up especially for this purpose.

I’ve been sensing Ayuma’s deep connection with the birds - and that's how this song came about, because to me Ayuma is the lady of the rowan tree, who in tdecides to leave a world where only humans count and nature and animals are being pushed back more and more. Hence the lady asks death to turn her into a rowan tree so that she can still offer food and shelter for the birds after she has passed away…

From a musical point of view, this song picks up the thread of “Cantara Anachoreta” without simply repeating itself; instead it is a consistent evolution of Antichrisis' style of that era.

Antichrisis' next song is going to be released around Samhain 2025.

"Lupus est homo homini"

This quote from Plautus could not be more wrong, because wolves are extremely social creatures that are not prone to cruelty, nor do they kill purely for pleasure or because they enjoy the pain and suffering of other living beings.

No, humans are the source of the suffering of all other living beings on this planet, because we rob them of their habitat, enslave and kill them out of greed and intoxicate ourselves with the apparent power we have over our fellow creatures...

Therefore, the above quote should correctly read as follows:

"Homo origo est doloris omnium viventium“

That's why Ayuma and me support PETA -- and that's why we wrote ‘My Beautiful Creatures’.

Our next song will be released around Autumn Equinox 2025.

When I wrote ‘The Farewell’ many years ago, it contained the line ‘but now I'm going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word’.

I wrote the lyrics to this song under the impression that I would never find what I was longing for: two long-termend relationships had failed under painful circumstandes, and I couldn't explain for the life of me why my desire for a deep and everlasting love always "got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams".

On that account I thought that I would never find what I was looking for although I had always believed that this love had to be out there somewhere. But it seemed that it would never come true for me in this world and that I would therefore have to leave...

But a few years later on New Years Eve I accidentally met Ayuma, and with her I had finally found the soulmate I was meant to be with and the place by her side where I belonged -- and where love is so much more than just a four-letter word.

Ayuma felt just the same way about me, because she too had been searching so many years without finding what she was longing for from the bottom of her heart.

But now we have been together for over 20 years, and with every year our love becomes more intense and deeper -- hence ‘Luna’ was written against this background: in this song, Ayuma and me are expressing our gratitude for having found each other at last after so many years... and just like Kool & The Gang once sang we will cherish the love we have.

Our next song will be released around the time of Lugnasadh 2025.

As I have mentioned several times before, I have given up on humanity: neither are we capable of stopping the ever-accelerating climate catastrophe, nor are we taking any action against overpopulation, the extinction of species and the destruction of the livelihoods of all living beings on this planet.

Instead, we insist on constant economic and population growth, which is bordering on insanity given the fact that we are living on a planet with finite resources.

We are doing everything we can to erase ourselves as humanity from the face of the Earth: of course we cannot destroy our planet, for it existed long before us and will continue to exist long after us — but we will cease to exist.

This song is written from the point of view of the last man on Earth, who looks back with sadness and realises that this will be his last night on this once so beautiful planet — yet he resigns himself to his fate because he knows that the Earth will be a better place without an unconvincable, ignorant and cruel human race.

Our next song is going to be released around Summer Solstice 2025.

The world is changing rapidly: the effects of the climate catastrophe are becoming more drastic from year to year, and with them comes the severe decrease of number of habitats for humans and animals. And Europe seems to believe that it could protect itself from the consequences of this development by voting for right-wing parties.

But right-wing populists capitalise on people's muffled fears to make them believe that isolationism, closed borders and walls could protect our first world prosperity and privileges. They spread lies with the sole purpose of securing their power, weakening democracies and, above all, oppressing and exploiting the poor.

These junkmen are dangerous because their proposed solutions to all problems sound so seductively simple, but in fact they are just smokescreens promising people a future that can never exist and never will, because we have long since passed the tipping point and will not be able to turn back the hands of the clock -- certainly not with these junkmen in power.

Do not fall for their traps and lies: anyone who gives just simple answers to complex questions and only ever looks for scapegoats instead of solutions is undoubtedly an enemy of mankind, democracy and humanity.

Our next song is going to be released around Beltane 2025.

We actually wanted to release this song for Winter Solstice in 2024, but as there wasn't any snow and the sun was also shining at the time, too, the right atmosphere for this track didn't really come to pass.

That's why Imbolc seemed much more suitable for this song, which describes a love that transcends time and even overcomes death -- and which returns to its wellspring every winter with the snowflakes that are falling from the sky.

Our next song is going to be released at Spring Equinox 2025.
