GKIRLOT (THWAETTR)

BAND NAME: gkirlot (thwaettr)
GENRE: Drone Metal / Noise
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: USA

The band name along with the lyrics are adapted from [an interactive Library of Babel simulation]. The "library of Babel" is a short story by Jorge Luis Borges, where an ostensibly infinite library contains all possible books that could ever be written. However, most of these books just contain garbage text. After all, it's ALL books that COULD be written. Of course, sensible text is to be found somewhere, but nobody knows where. Some dismiss the garbage text. Others seek a hypothetical book that would explain how to decode the garbage text and turn it into readable words. Despite being nonsense at first glance, all gkirlot (thwaettr) music is made with Christian teaching and intent at heart. The intent is abstract, but to try to describe it, it's basically to paint a literary atmosphere that appears isolated, yet where God and His divine power is omnipresent.

On this song, God did:
Songwriting, Art direction

Done fairly quickly. I might revisit this someday. Not sure yet. The song title is from [Acts 22:14]. God directed me toward that verse. This song and its artwork are very, very highly inspired by Kenneth Holsen's drone projects (Noisteron, Ravnevarg, Holke, On the Throne, etc).
