What CULTES DES GOULES really means
"After longs years of beeing a musician, i always heard that one have to
play guitars to compose. I heard that Scorpions are professionals and Black
Metal musicians are not. Sometimes my ideas where loved, sometimes they said:
"that's to insane" or simply "that's shit".
I am suffering from tinnitus and my hands are damaged cause of too much drumming.
I had to rethink the whole music thing, and now I am quite sure i don't get it managed
to be a second Dave Lombardo someday.
At the end i decided to recall the ghosts of DOMINATION and leave behind the world
of todays music scene and wander in the musical catacombs. I don't care any longer
if some say i am a good musician or a bad one. I don't listen to comments at my music.
Of course i know as long as i create music i am part of the scene,
but i don't want to meet the people, and so i don't. I don't want to drink beer with em.
I started stating with saying:"i don't want to play concers". Well, i don't want to,
but i will probably do that in the future. I now have found other ghouls for this band
and they maybe want to that stuff. I think i will have my fun there too. But this is an
open issue and we won't resolve this question in near future. At the end, we all do
this for our own pleasure. Don't expect us to do more than that music.
No trades. No cheap promos. No concerts. No beer." - Cy Ghul, June 2007
About the Book CULTES DES GOULES
The CULTES DES GOULES is a book written by Comte d Erlette in 1702. It is probably fiction of the authors of the Cthulhu mythos, especially of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert Bloch (who was a friend of Lovecraft and later wrote the book PSYCHO, which was filmed by Alfred Hitchcock). The book describes the (sexual) rituals of an macabre persian ghoul cult and is sometimes mentioned in different Cthulhu storys.
About the name CULTES DES GOULES
Compared to Juntz "Unausprechliche Kulte" or "De Vermiis Mysteries" (other okkult books)
this name is more impressiv (for my taste). A Ghoul is a very underrated topic in todays music scene.
Additionally, there are not many bands with a french name. At the end Cy simply have choosen this
to be the name cause he liked the sound and the Ghul-Storys.
There are several other small projects using this name as CD title or something
else, so please don't get confused. We only have released what is listed at
Releases.
