Please please please reblog this and put in the tags your music recommendations. I’m not talking about big artists and bands either— what’s a niche group, band, or artist that you can’t get enough of? What song or album do you enjoy the most? Why?
when you’re overwhelmed in public so you put on your headphones and play music that is straight up screaming in your ears to the point where lyrics are barely able to be made out
One song that really shows that [mystery] is on the second album, a song called “Space Dementia.” I always wanted to make a heavy rock song that could just have a piano without a guitar. I think we got there again on “Butterflies and Hurricanes” on the new album [Absolution]. I was trying to find a classical type of piano style that would be heavy and work with bass and drums. It had that sort of mechanical paradiddle thing all the way through, and then it breaks down into this kind of romantic, flowing weird bit in the middle.

Art by Hans Rudolf Giger (1940-2014) : "Satan I"
For his participation in the movie "Alien" he won an Oscar for best visual effects in 1980.
Giger suffered from night terrors and his paintings are all, to some extent, inspired by his experiences with that particular sleep disorder. - he also claims to be only working at night.
