Bandcamp News – New Mixtape Release; Seven Deadly Syns – Lust

I am getting religious on your asses with my seven-part mixtape Seven Deadly Syns. To point out the obvious it’s called syns after synths and is pronounced how you read it sins. The first one is Lust so there are smooth and seductive tracks or what I call bedroom music for synth lovers and is romantic but tantalising. I do plan on doing the other six as there are seven as you might know and they will all have different vibes and atmospheres on each mixtape. I plan on releasing one every seven weeks and I decided to go all the way in on this one and make visuals for YouTube and will be at the bottom of this page, in the video section of this website or officially on my YouTube channel. Fun facts time blue is the colour of lust and the punishment for this sin is smothered in fire and brimstone which dates back to the bible in the Old and New Testaments but specifically in Genesis 19:24, where it’s used to describe the eternal torments of the damned in Hell and God’s extreme judgment of them. It was also used to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah Fire and brimstone usage trends. It was later used by churches and law enforcement and was said that they claimed they were acting on god’s behalf and the punishment was a wrath from god. Brimstone is Sulfur and is Molton Sulfur which is highly flammable and explosive. The risk of a fire or an explosion is 450 oF (232oC) which I guess is high risk and is used nowadays to make car batteries, bleach paper, cerement detergents, pesticides and a few more major things, oh and the boiling point meaning how hot it gets is 444.6 °C (832 °F.)  and to put that all in perspective in the UK it just goes over 30 °C and boiling water is 100 °C so three times hotter then boiling water OUCH! Sulphur was known in ancient times and referred to in Genesis as brimstone. Assyrian texts dated around 700-600 BC refer to it as the “product of the riverside”, where deposits could be found. In the 9th century BC, Homer mentioned “pest-averting sulphur”. There is the phrase Brimstone and Ashes too and it has a couple of meanings which I found on a website called grammaist.com here’s the examples of how it’s used.

• The preacher stood at the front of the church and warned the sinners about the fire and brimstone that awaited them if they didn’t repent.
• Your fire-and-brimstone speech about the consequences of ignoring climate change left the audience in shocked silence.
• I loved that film that portrayed the dictator’s regime as one of fire and brimstone.
• Foley’s fire-and-brimstone approach to discipline kept her students in line.
• He was well known for his fire-and-brimstone rhetoric, which suddenly seemed to polarize his loyal listeners.

There’s a lot of talk about brimstone and fire in both the Old and New Testaments I won’t put them all but I chose my favourite which is from Revelations Rev. 21 where it says; “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Lovely isn’t it lol only kidding but I like what it stands for all the above cos it’s about worshipping your god but at the same time putting yourself first before an act of good samaritans or whatever. I know they say to have faith and you will reap the rewards but I rather have faith in myself than have faith or rely on someone else. I still have my faith and getting more religious the more I get older but another fun fact I don’t like using the word god as a swear word but I still do.
