Once again, GVOLTT guessed the indecipherable logo, which this week is Zushakon. Erratic_Prophet came crazy-close with a guess of Zushavon, but there's no prize for second place. Actually, there's no price for first place either, just the secure knowledge that you're the grand master of generally illegible band logos.
Zushakon are a Singapore black metal band founded by singer Djinn and New Zealand born guitarist and bassist Armaros, both of whom used to play in the pagan metal band Orthanc. At the time, Djinn was known as Penetrathor and Armaros went by D.S. Velkin; they've since shed such silly stage names for their current titles, which aren't quite as silly. In any case, Djinn, the owner of the Singapore metal record store ToMegathereon, recently launched Starless Aeon Records which put out Zushakon's 2007 EP Chaosophist. The disc also featured drummer Radovan Draza, but he quit in January becuase of "drug and legal problems back in Serbia" and was replaced by Serberuz HammerFrost, who joined the band's "anti-cosmic" crusade. Here's the band's manifesto, as revealed on their MySpace.
Here is the band's manifesto:
"Zushakon is the sonic propaganda of Anti-Cosmic 'Gnostic Left Hand Path,' which is committed to the old ways of Black Metal and stands united with bands, labels, xeroxed zines and individuals who still live by the old ways and want to revive the once glorious and much feared Black Metal Underground. Zushakon strongly supports the wrathful form of 'Gnostic Left Hand Path' ideology and teachings of the "TEMPLE OF THE BLACK LIGHT" www.templeoftheblacklight.net) also known as the "MISANTHROPIC LUCIFERIAN ORDER" (M.L.O). We bear within us the Black Flames of the Acosmic spirit. Zushakon is Anti-Cosmic Metal of Chaos!!!"
Sounds evil. We just hope they're not anything like neo-Nazis because we hate inadvertently promoting prejudiced hatemongers, and when we accidentally do, we get a lot of nasty letters.
