Guillaume Czlt will tell us about the end of anthropocene, the rise of Homo Sensibilis, the cosmic predictions over which the whole NM concept is created, the art of theriomorphic musical improvisation, the poetic rites of animals, polytheism as social mirror, prehistoric magic, ancien Egypt, mimesis at the heart of evolution and , why, if all else fails, the peaceful demise of humanity would be a good thing for the advent of a true animal kingdom, eventually...

· MEHENET ·
Algol Aluvia from MEHENET will tell us about his discovery of occultism, the quite unique egregore of New Orleans, Black Metal as the artistic inheritance of extremist Dada, his interest for our national Albert Camus' philosophy, shooting a clip right next to a crime scene, spotting inquisitive DEA agents at his work, how to link the spirits of Goetia and the history of betrayed revolutions, the problem with institutions and hierarchy within esoteric orders, living as a Botanica manager and a Quimbanda Tata, and the vivid ethos of that occult tradition he gets to experience on an everyday basis...

· DECLINE OF THE I ·
A conversation with Johannes Climacus by unusual conditions: made in his living room after a guided meditation by myself... We will of course deal with the works of Laborit and Kierkegaard that constitute the backbone of the band's concept, but also his quite unique status of so-called "intellectual" Black Metal within the scene, how it's much more based on French old school cinema and philosophy than Satanism or trolls in the forest (with all due respect), those BMheads who shift from Satan to Jesus, spiritual pilgrimages, metalheads as eternal teenagers, dandies-seducers-pick up artists, the place of humor and meta within extreme metal, and the everyday life spirituality of being a father as well as a mystic without a god...

· GORGONN ·

Alocer Asthaghul from ESOCTRILIHUM, France's best and mostly hidden secret, having released no less than TWELVE albums in EIGHT years of existence... In this dialogue, we will deal with his quick awakening to otherwordly forces as a child, the metaphysical verdicts of using magic for purely selfish means, the permanent summoning that constitutes his everyday life, the very personal way he created his own pantheon of entities that he calls forth through his art, his interest for the work of Clark Ashton Smith as well as Blavatsky's, astral travels and subtle bodies, his mastery of traditional instruments, obsessive Death attraction, and the interdimensional revelations he exposes in his last albums, finally at peace with the fact of having become a human nexion for outer universes...
