Von GOTHICA: Let Him In
Interview By: Sadie Duarte
PUNK GLOBE: Your identity is a secret. Who is von GOTHICA?
VON GOTHICA: I am the metamorphosis of a previous entity. A man who was loved for his achievements. A man who was mortal. An abused and abandoned cadaver of a man constantly chasing the undertows of acceptance. From what was once weak and frail is my birth. A reincarnation speaking his truth and not backing down from any entity alive or dead. Feeding on the dust of those who did him wrong. I am him incarnate. A firestorm and the worst nightmare for those who choose to consume the vulnerable. I will haunt and devour those who dare to cross the line with their ego. They will pay the infernal price. von GOTHICA will be waiting for them. For you. And with each step of this story, the rest will be yours to understand and discover.
PUNK GLOBE: I can see you’re living in a very mysterious place. Where is it? Is this a land of darkness? Can anyone find you easily?
VON GOTHICA: You don’t think that you live in a land of darkness? Have you looked beyond your pale throne and seen the world you live in? It’s burning all around you and the humans who are slaves to ticks, fonts, and clout. I roam amongst you all. In your world. A pit of narcissistic despair. The people need an idol worthy of worship that will not lead them to numbers and loneliness. They need the truth. They need to feel it. Raw. Untarnished. Wise. The world needs to accept suffering. LET HIM IN.
PUNK GLOBE: Could you tell us about your music? Where does your inspiration come from?
VON GOTHICA: Why should I do that? Listen to it and experience it. The inspiration is what you feel when you hear it. It’s yours to interpret how you want. Do you feel the fight or flight? When your heartache thumps deeply like its own underworld? Do you still believe in dreams? Do you know what they mean in this world of lies? There’s a devil hanging on every person’s back. This music is the leader of the pack.
PUNK GLOBE: What does the word “dream” mean to you?
VON GOTHICA: When you wake up from a dream, do you feel anything? What is it that you feel? Does it make you sad and vulnerable until you sleep again? This world does not sleep much as it is always out looking for trouble. To dream is to black out and never hold back. To awaken is to be biased and afraid.
PUNK GLOBE: If you could choose someone to sing with, who would that be?
VON GOTHICA: Zola Jesus. We can burn together in voice and song and consume the blood of every heart we explode with the history of thousand long ropes.
PUNK GLOBE: Do you plan to tour the world?
VON GOTHICA: No. I will never tour this sound unless enough people call out for it with their weak and feeble voice boxes. I am losing all my senses and putting everything into my songs. In a timeless daze, I do not wish to stand alone in empty rooms. And like a cold wind blowing, I will only tour if the demand is high enough.
PUNK GLOBE: Is there any special message you’d like to tell us?
VON GOTHICA: Feel. And do not fear it.
PUNK GLOBE: Heaven or Hell? Black or white?
VON GOTHICA: Heaven and hell are fables in a biblical sense for mortal men who refuse to accept suffering is a part of their life. The same mortal men who are scared to death to fall in love. Black is the canvas I can paint your heart on.
PUNK GLOBE: How can our readers contact you?
VON GOTHICA: They cannot. Hear me through the right channels. See me through the channels you discover. Create me on your own channels. LET HIM IN.
