RRUK: Are you interested in serial killers? Do you think they are a typical product of 20th century society, and what is your opinion about in particular American "serial killer culture" ?
Serial killers have always been a staple theme within industrial/noise culture, since the earliest days, however much of a standard cliché it has become by now. Again, I think it's part of the general attraction to thematic extremity and having the music reflect that. I've had a significant collection of books on serial killers since I was quite young, and it's still an interest for me in the context of ethics and moral philosophy. However, I am much more interested in a subject like Tsutomu Miyazaki than I am in the more famous American cases. There are countless books on Gacy, Bundy, Dahmer, et al, but not one book on Miyazaki. The only real coverage he has is a few pages in Robert Ressler's "I Have Lived In The Monster"(Ressler, by the way, coined the term 'serial killer').

S.T.A.B. Some aspects maybe so but mostly it's a cliché in this sub-genre, done to death! I liked John from Slogun's take on it. That we shouldn't glorify these subhumans, but we should think they are weak.... they deserve a bullet in the temple! I like aspects of say; Javed Iqbal who sodomized and murdered over 100 young boys and then threw their remains in vats of acid ! The only reason he did it was simply because he could! I mean what goes through your head? You have to be pretty fucked up to want to commit to something like that! But, that's humanity isn't it?? We Kill, we eat, we fuck! In retrospect, every despot could be a serial killer. Idi Amin anyone ? The only serial killer I was ever interested in, over in the USA was the zodiac! And maybe Arthur Shawcross. That's it! The US has always had a kind of victim...mentality, anyway! So yeah, there is way too much interesting things elsewhere on this planet to be looking at the good old USA! Gimme a good old genocide in Rwanda any day!
