"Great pain makes great art". That is the philosophy that encompasses everything that Aphelion is. This sound was born of pain and persists through the new pains each day brings. There are so many things that I draw influence from, some of them are small like a fly trapped between the screen and the window, others are monumental, like the death of loved ones.

A tragic car accident.
Your best friend dying.
Swimming in the sea and feeling something bite your leg and pull you under.
A train wreck
The moment you lose all possible self control and go on a killing spree.

is the sound of uncontroled emotions.
This sound is the bi-product of living a life being unable to let go of the things that haunt me, things make even the simplest of daily chores difficult. This is what I find at the bottom of every bottle. This is the result of being unhappy with everything around me, of finding the finding the lowest common denominator in everything life has to offer. This is my expressed, projected disappointment with all things and all people, especially myself. This is proof that I am, and always will be the lowest bidder. This is what it’s like to wake up each and every morning fearful of what horrors lay in wait, around each corner, behind every conversation, every casual glance, the meaning, the subtext. This is the soundtrack to my regret, failures and inability to conform to the standards the society holds in such high regard. This is truth, absolute and pure, weighing down on those that bathe in the glory of selfish optimism. This is my wretched desires, lusts and depravity. This is my apathy towards god and a hatred of organized religion, a promise of certainty to the sheep. Aphelion was born of heartache and a disparity that has probably been there my whole life, but it took people, ruined, selfish, cruel and shallow to fully expose it.
