Artist's Comments
Or "Ashitaka versus the Mildewy Robot".
This is the - very strong - visual I get from Dimmu Borgir's song "Puritania" (lyrics: [link]). Why is Ashitaka in there? Because he's damn sexy and strikes me as the kind of person who, as the naive wanderer, will still try to use arrows against a 40-foot robot that shoots fire out of its eyes. As for the mechanical beast... I guess he's part Laputa guardian, part Iron Giant, part whatever else. The real inspiration for this was probably a caffeine surge and near-delusional blood sugar low. It's random.
I didn't understand black metal until I realized that, as a listener, I was supposed to be the robot, NOT Ashitaka. After that, Dimmu Borgir stopped scaring me and I could listen to it by myself.
