i've recently found myself feeling quite curious in terms of this project. this is for general discussion of it, and hopefully some scans of the book will end up here - but we'll see.

RZ General Board / Re: So... what do you think is inside the mystery box?
« on: October 25, 2016, 10:59:39 pm »
there is a chance they were selling the idea of something so incredibly valuable but also testing the extents to which Rz fans are willing to go for rare items. testing the waters. turns out, No One Has That Much. folks have 1k and more, but not millions.

So you think that it's just a concept and there really isn't anything in the box?
 
Because I seem to recall a hint being given that stated whoever owned the contents of the box had the potential to make their money back and then some. That would lead me to believe it's publishing rights.

hmm, but their obscurity makes them a difficult product to sell. and, jeez, would that not be just.. paying money to be a Cryptic? lol

« on: October 24, 2016, 10:54:03 pm »
just thoughts/comments/questions/none of the above relating to the album! personally, im curious to hear what people think about it in terms of what its themes are, if there are any that can be described.  but also stuff like favorite lyrics, stories and songs.. and why.

have a nice rest of your week, folks.

The prices will be (if you aint one so much for link-clicking and the sort.):

Regular Edition: €14,99
Your standard thingy. Has a fun little inclusion for the first one hundo.
"Audiophile black vinyl nestled in a thick cardboard cover. The first 100 copies comes with a large “Official Product” promo button for free."

Silver Edition: €25,99
Ooh, ooh... Shiny.
"This edition is pressed onto silver vinyl which comes in the same thick cardboard sleeve, hand-numbered on the backside. Strictly limited to 100 copies."

Marbled Edition: €27,99
Very pretty.
"This edition is pressed onto clear vinyl marbled with black and white. The results are extremely varied! From sharp differentiations between the colors, to grey-ish mixes that appear swirled under light. Limited to 100 copies. Also hand stamped and numbered."

Strawberry Edition: "€29,99"
Looks tasty. Also, my god, it's just the cutest concept! Strawberries are just the cutest fruit. Oh, right. Descriptions.
"This edition is pressed onto white vinyl and comes in a special Psychofon package with a album cover inlay card and a transparent layer of fresh strawberries. The strawberry edition is hand-numbered on the back of the inlay cover, and is limited to 100 copies."

AND NOW... FOR THE BIG ONE, THE STAR OF THE SHOW!

Collector’s Edition: €99,99
For all you die-hard fans who also happen to have a thing for art and looking at things that are art, or something. Also for people who like rusty metal, you lock-jawed freaks! Enjoy your tetanus!
"This one is for people interested in displaying their music as art. We present our “Artist’s Multiple”, a train wheel rusted after years of service. The rust under the silk-screen was hand-applied and each one is completely different. The front image is from the album art of Rushing Like a Banshee; the man bending over to pick up some fresh strawberries. On the back side you find the “Official Product” eyeball logo. The red vinyl (which represents the strawberry) is held in place in place over the plate, completing the contour of a flanged train wheel. Half are black & white, and the other half glow in the dark. Only 100 exist."

where will YOUR money go?

RZ Project Talk / Re: DDA Album Cover Interpretations
« on: October 18, 2016, 10:09:24 am »
i see what you mean, but i feel like the live show has more of that "attacking the demon in unity" theme to it, oddly enough. the album evokes a sort of.. isolated feeling. the song Demons Dance Alone almost takes on two different meanings when the live version and the album version are compared. the album version of it seems to imply a certain surrender to the demon, while the live version almost pushes it to "attempting to beat the demon at its own game", if that makes any sense.

this image calls to mind the Demonic! Live in Oslo cover, and i wonder if there is some correlation between the two? it would seem that in this alternate image, it is the symbol (almost seeming to be in the shadows since i can't make out any other parts of the tuxedo other than the bow tie and the buttons) offers vulnerability and honesty within what could possibly be seen as a rain of rage. i also find it interesting how when compared to the actual cover, the heart glows similarly to how the eyeball glows, minus the dripping. the Oslo cover seems to have the demon with this symbol of honesty and vulnerability protruding out from its head with a look of... disgust or fear on its face. i find it interesting because of how the other images included with Demonic! have the demon looking quite smug as he sticks his tongue out and torments Mr and Ms. Wonderful. there's a certain contrast there.

perhaps the message is that the demon only fears honesty and vulnerability? the whole album AND the show seem to imply that it feeds off of submission, fear, confusion and hatred. it would appear, as with Neediness in the show, that the demon is not something that one can make peace with through direct and almost loving confrontation. the demon shies away, not so fond of Mr. Wonderful's begging and pleading. there is a genuine need there and the demon is frightened, confused and quite honestly disgusted by it... so perhaps the demon is incapable to being dealt with through friendlier means, and is not really affected by such deeply human needs. seeing as Neediness is right before Demons Dance Alone on the live setlist, there could be some degree of learning that occurs there- that the demon cannot be handled with kindness, that it cannot be communicated with unless you speak in its language, and that most of all... it cannot be attacked alone.

the changing of the order of songs from the album to the live show really say that there is a different story in there, to me. the album has a story of complete and total submission, really without a fight (or if there is one, the aggression is not going where it needs to go. it is directed at the grounds on which the demon stands, and as i see it, possibly came from. the emotions that allow the demon to exist and form are not what truly need to be attacked.. or something.)  but the show seems to have a story that there IS a fight there, and it is an odd sort of battle where they must take what the demon used against them and do that thing better- and beat it at its own game.

hmm.. weird stuff

it's an act of contrasting interpretations of how anonymity can be played. when Charles is presented to us, there is a certain blurring between what can be considered "fact" and what can be considered "fiction". theres something quite real about his Test Tube of Tomorrow journals. when you contrast him with Randy- practically a hilariously exaggerated portrait of a person, but with Randy, his exaggeration reveals aspects of who he is. with Charles, there seems to be a degree of encouragement to see him as Just A Person.

that all applied up until he left the band and began working with Hardy, so it wouldn't be ridiculous to assume his journals were all based in fact. who's to say if he has fully removed the chains of anonymity, though? i DO appreciate that he is making music just for the hell of it according to how he wants to work. his rate of output is INSANE! i like it.

RZ Project Talk / DDA Album Cover Interpretations
« on: October 16, 2016, 10:54:37 pm »
i'm curious as to how everyone interpreted DDA's cover art?

the way i saw it was this: the grinning(?) demon clutches what is essentially a symbol of a loved and cherished past, both glowing and dripping blood- possibly reflecting both a divine and human quality. and because of the presence of the demon, comes the fists in the background that he stands in front of, unaffected. the fists are all different, but all represent aggression without direction. they head straight to the ground; they are all at different degrees of closeness to the ground, but they are all driven to the same place, the same conclusion. the presence of the demon renders their aggression unifying and futile.

i'll start.
