1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?
Of course! We are a band from Pfarrkirchen, Germany. We are searching for a drummer, because for live gigs we play as a power trio. Atm we are a two-piece with Mac Carrigan on Bass and me, Christina Earlymorn on Guitar & Vocals. We play an unique mixture of Stonerdoom, Black Metal & Blues Rock, because we are so fed up limiting ourselves to only one genre forever. We try to play every style we like and make it our own. We label our music with this debut as "Chromed Stoner Doom with Groove & Style" , because our guitars are chromed, our clothing is stylish and our riffs are heavy grooving with HM2 (classic swedish death metal) growl.
2.You have your first full length coming out towards the end of December, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?
As I stated earlier, that we are so fed up in only being at home in one genre, I started back in 2017 to collect some of these odd riffs that didn't properly fit in my previous black metal only - projects. On and off (from 2017 until 2025) I did write for the album in between life situations that happened. (Covid, Loss of Job, My dad died) In that period of time I crafted my own personal style for our band, St. Unholy which Mac and I now run.
3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?
As a bullying & sexual abuse survivor back in my childhood when I was 6, of course it is very important to me to be very vocal against bullies & pedophiles. A nun raped me every Thursday from 1996-1998 we had in school as an handicraft teacher for she wanted to know what's in my pants, because of me being a trans child back then. Because of that I am not very religious anymore, because I still get so much hate from religious people claiming to be good people, but showing otherwise. So, because of that we have the subject of anti religion in our lyrics, BUT! We clearly differentiate between in blindly hating the religious people and hating the religious organizations backing its predators, which we set our focus onto. We don't fight decent people who believe in god. We fight against evil people who hide behind a religious power structure. Then, we also wanna focus on positive topics like enjoying life to the fullest, being proud of oneself and even stretching into Carl Jung's psychology topics or into the interesting electronic frequency works of Nikola Tesla. Basically, we sing about topics that either have something to do with our past personally, or we sing about stuff that interests or inspires us of which we think could also be interesting for the listener to broaden up his/her horizons.
4.You have mentioned an interest in Carl Jung and Nikola Tesla, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in their work?
When I was reading about Carl Jung, I was introduced by his shadow work technique in which the shadow (Your repressed dark side) gets integrated without causing destruction to oneself or others. I like his theory, because due to the sexual abuse, the hate I get and bullying I had to endure in school I carry a massive amount of hate & desire for revenge deep in my stomach. Alot of so called "Good vibes only" people often snap someday, because they completely suppress their shadow-self every day. It's like a barrel that over time explodes. I learned with Carl Jung to dance with my shadows, to recognize them and to release them into something constructive that I call healthy agression. Playing music is one of the methods I use. Nikola Tesla on the other hand fully inspires me, because he says that everything is energy, vibration & frequency. If I am depressed I have to have low energy. I don't vibe (vibrate) very much and my frequency to be interesting for other people is very low. If I am happy however, I got a high energy, so I vibrate stronger and people will be drawn at me, because of my frequency. I personally find this very interesting if you personally examine your past and see how it over time has influenced you. Alot of adult people carry their childhood wounds / childhood traumas still around with them which completely dominates their every day life & fucks up their future, because these poor people act out of the energy from the past when the trauma in childhood took place. That's what I experienced, too. It bothered me so much that I wanted to dominate my life again killing that invisible force which held me back.
5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'St. Unholyness"?
Since 20 years I am a devoted satanist walking my way through life. That is my very personal (for me) healthy way of spirituality. The name St. Unholyness came like an lightning bolt into my head as I thought to myself, that I, as a person are loved by many and hated by others for being myself. Because of me being a long time satanist who worked for 10 years as a nurse and sometimes donates some of my spare money to homeless people, I feel more christ like as I can see in other so called "christian" people. Basically in other words I am a "Saint" to many & considered as "Unholy" by strangers. That's what St. Unholyness means. Basically someone who does look like a villain, but does good onto others.
6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?
The original artwork was actually me as an baphomet figure posing on the cover. But as I listened to the tracks and looked at the cover it didn't match properly with the sound of the debut album. So I creARTed the actual cover artwork and postponed the one with me as baphomet on it for another album in the future. As a debut album I wanted something simple but with a clear message. The cross of peter already says it what "Through High Holy Haze" is about. We oppose unconscious religious herd mentality and support individuality that is aware of oneself.
7.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?
No shows yet, because I didn't think that I would ever be able to find people who wanted to join a band where a "tranny" is fronting the band with a weird sound that isn't anything near mainstream. We still search for a drummer, because of course we would love to play live shows in the near future!
8.Do you have any touring or show plans once the new album is released?
Not yet.
9.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
We did receive interest, but I am not yet sure if I should sign my life away.
10.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black, doom and stoner metal?
Well, to my surprise the comments on our two on YouTube released music videos are positive. I received messages on my Facebook page & Instagram account of people telling me that they like it alot. Personally I am always very critical of myself, because when I learned to play music my environment wasn't supportive and made fun of me. See, that's one of my childhood wounds that still controls me, BTW. Thank you for making me realize this with this interview Mr. Larson! I will have some self work to do :)
11.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
I would love to build the band up, gaining international reputation and forming a fanbase where everyone regardless of how they dress, looks like is welcome. I hate gatekeepers and I would love as a band leader, to have a community that has glued together many walks of fans, just like Motörhead managed to untite Rockers, Punks & Metalheads. That's why my guitars are chromed. I hope the audience can mirror themselves into the guitars to make them realize that we are all part of this as a whole!
12.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadatys?
Nowadays I don't really listen to much music. After finishing an album I am drained & need silence to recharge my creativity. But bands like ZZ Top, Pantera, Goatwhore, Crowbar, Megadeth and artists like BB King, S.R.V., Zakk Wylde, Joe Bonamassa & Yngwie Malmsteen do influence me still.
13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
My father passed away this may 2025 at the age of 61. What I wanna say to finish this interview off is the following: Say "I love you" more often to your loved ones, because no one knows when time's up.
