Beastmilk’s ‘Fear Your Mind’ leaked
As Finland’s apocalypse-anticipating post-punk outfit, Beastmilk, awaits the public disbursement of their Climax LP, another brand new single from the highly-anticipated record has been leaked. “The song ‘Fear Your Mind’ is about assassination fixation, our mass hybristophilia and the abstraction of the term ‘evil,'” provides Beastmilk vocalist and primary lyricist Kvohst on the powerful anthem. “The title alludes to something we all need to face, our natural instincts, deepest fears and desires. The whole album is about how we face death and the end. Through murder we know ourselves and we learn to face ourselves. I am making a point about our social inability to accept that part of ourselves that is present in the Manson cult and killers like Pekka-Erik Auvinen. My mixing of dates and years there is meant to make the point that time is irrelevant; the victims and their families never forget, no matter how hard society tries to abstract the most heinous of crimes. They will always be recent on a personal level. Death is how we relate to history and how we place ourselves into that history. It’s how we learn to be human. These murders repeat themselves and will continue to repeat themselves for all time. We cannot escape who we are. We simply have to live with it and learn to live in fear of our own minds.”
