POWER ELECTRONICS AND FAITH

[jesusfaggotchrist]

what about satanism? has that been explored?

Jonathan Briley comes to mind, not sure if he was a Satanist exactly but he quotes from LaVey's Satanic Bible.  Think he's a Zen Buddhist or something now.

does he just go by his name or does he have a project name?

He does releases as Johnathan Briley

The theoretical notion of sincere believers making "christian power electronics" strikes me as about as dubious as "unblack metal"

P.E is a good genre for making people uncomfortable or frankly disgusted, and you can fight something - Sin, in this case - by describing it in such an intense manner that people get uncomfortable or disgusted.

There is new episode of Noisextra with mr. Lockweld, who got religious awakening during difficult times. He discusses it with detail, plus also things like how people get pissed off merely from someone mentioning being christian. Mentioning how it barely is anyones business when he is not moralizing nor attempting to convert anyone.
In some subcultures, issue may be easy, or complex, but I'd guess within industrial culture, it merely awakens further questions, like what does it even mean. What kind of values, for what reason. Overall, one would think that contemporary "alternative music circles" may be more drawn towards the negative traits of christianity than devout christians are doing.

With years i realize i am 'jealous' of the believers, meaning i wish i could believe.

You can decide to believe. Eventually, your heart will follow your will.

One favourite theme right here, which continues to fascinate me to no end. It´s the same with militant/war stuff - I´m hardly a "militant" person, but there are some aspects of it that just get in my head in varying ways. Like with religious mentality which mostly abhors me, but when it comes to certain images, visions and execution of power, divinity and so on, I´m all in... but not that interested in artists´ personal beliefs.

Brethren's Kingdom Coming is about Christian Zionism.

Projects like Terror Cell Unit, Herukrat and Koufar immediately come to my mind in terms of PE & faith, but I might be wrong about the way each deals with such topic. Scatmother's Sadotantra and Vivikta albums also come to mind.
