Who, What, Where, When, Why, & How is Redmask?
Doing pretty good. A lot better than that fucker who fell 40 feet at the X-Games. Yeeesh! I felt bad, but kick-ass way to get laid by telling that story. Unfortunately, we wish to get laid regardless of our musicianship and although plentiful specimens exist outside, our work is to be diligent to creating the best album of the 21st century.
People have laughed and say it can’t be done. Others have wondered why reach such a pinnacle when you haven’t worked on the first album. Everyone else doesn’t know we exist. The journey will be peaceful; only seven people currently know what is going on, and 5 are in the band, and one is a bandmate’s mother. She is wacky, but the coolest mom anyone can have.
Who are we?
We are a music group. We are more than a music group and less than a music group as well. None of what was said can even be explained, but what is true is that we do exist as a plural, and it isn’t a figment of your imagination. We are normal but very zealous people; the formation of our work, our art, is the production of the most extreme and specific forms of humanity. This isn’t based on any post-modern, hipster, or neo-intellectual movement, but the movement of the dynamic of humanity and the world. If we could be summed up in a couple of paragraphs:
” 400 years from now someone will go to a barren wasteland that use to be a glorious metropolis, go up some tattered flight of stairs ruined from years of neglect and natural decay, walk into a room filled with relics of the past, and find a golden book. This golden book shares with the reader all things up to the point where the metropolis had no more people walk the streets, where the hope for a civil union between different people had reached beyond the threshold of peaceful brotherhood, where the greatest problems ever encountered by mankind were dynamically challenged yet supported by the elites who controlled all things, where the acknowledgement of a new world order was met with the most incredible yet vicious planning by government managers to be in control of the new system, and where the system and nature had been raped so harshly that it was known to all that both would simultaneously crash upon the predators who had weakened them.
The system, the music, the greatness, the viciousness, the apathy, the apologies, the virtuosos, Hendrix, Gaye, Kissinger, & the laziness of May, the genocides, the neo-conservative ideology, peak oil, no apologies, the water cycle, the racists, the 6-3 double play, the dirty sex, the hippies, New York, the New Rome, the electic car, the stress, the imminent extinction, the final movement of the common man, the socialists, the socialites, the whole-note scale, the black projects, The Bushes, the stories… The incredible stories all intertwined, into music far beyond any genre, representing the End, yet will last forever through time.
Redmask is the historian of the current events, and the golden book is the story of the old civilization.”
