ANNOUNCING: Birthing Mythologies - An interview with Henry Spychalski

About three years ago, I stumbled upon a peculiar album called The Worm by a band called HMLTD (@hmltd )It was a record that captivated me with its blend of progressive rock and spiritually charged lyrics.

Three years later, that same band is set to release their long awaited third record, Fangs. As part of the lead up to its release, I sat down with their frontman Henry Spychalski (@henryspychalski ) to discuss the gothic world of Fangs, the artistic manifesto that exists at the core of HMLTD's work and what the future holds for one of most forward thinking and vital bands of my lifetime.

This interview and many others can be read at my website @words.on.tape or via the link at the top of my linktree.

‘I Used To Ride In Limousines’ is a song about failure and success. Its about making peace with failure, finding liberation in the sovereign, non-productive waste of failure, and about rejecting all instrumentalist notions of ‘success’ that subjugate life and the human experience itself to ‘success’ as an end goal. Its about the horror and hollowness of that definition of ‘success’. Its about rejecting the ego, and its about rediscovering and redefining a sense of self-worth that is entirely one’s own. Its about genuine, true, meaningful self-love and self-belief, beyond empty platitudes. Its about self-determination and self-becoming. Its about failure as purging. Its about the total realisation of the self through its own annihilation. Linji said: ‘If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.’

The life of the Spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it.
