RAPED INTO BEING is a 4 track EP recorded in the summer of 2017. The guitar and bass were recorded exclusively with the Boss Metal Zone pedal, while the drums were recorded using only 3 microphones. The EP features full, uncut, unedited performances, while the lyric themes deal loosely with animal rights, environmental stewardship, and ancient mythology, in this case the legend of the Goddess Poine, who brings revenge upon those who harm mother nature and her creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Featuring uncut, unedited and minimalist performances this record is an exploration in stripping back the genre to its foundation, respecting the roots of the craft and reveling in them. The massive riffing and elements of bombast are only another step in the weird and ethereal journey that this whole thing represents. The bands mastermind, Damjan Stefanovic has performed on records and live with Cradle of Filth, Soilwork, Akercocke and Antisect, and has recently gained notoriety for his experimental black metal project MRTVI. This pedigree makes sense when you consider the quality of what we've been presented with and the sheer misery he is able to communicate."
- Two Guys Metal Reviews -

"All four tracks on offer here are firmly rooted in glorious second wave tradition. Plenty of tremolo and the odd devastating chord rips over great blasting drums and nicely audible basslines (Damjan is a talented multi-instrumentalist and knocks everything out of the park as usual), while the clear yet slightly muffled/strangulated production adds to the claustrophobic and almost panicked atmosphere. The feel of it is notable, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say rather than just smashing out some generic black metal and then finding a lyrical theme to fit (as is all-too-often the norm), he has created this work with his themes firmly in front of mind and infused his compositions with the misery and desperation of the subject at hand. Just check the GREAT vocals; howls and screams of pure hopelessness, burning anger and sheer agony. You can hear the pain dripping from them and the venom spitting from his throat; this man believes in what he’s saying. He can feel it, and he wants you to feel it...
...And feel it you should. Every track is solid on its own or as a whole, the themes covered are more important than ever, and what’s more – it feels like this is only a black metal release because black metal is the only form of expression on the planet that could convey such rage, torment and horror; such misanthropy and hatred for man. Which, really, makes it genuine as hell."
