Some might see Paul’s modesty about his work as being at odds with his negative outlook, but he doesn’t think his love of all things strange and macabre is inherently wrong. “I’m a dark motherfucker, but evil and dark are two different things. I don’t do harm unless it’s deserved, but I also don’t give love unless that’s deserved. So I’m dark, but dark for me is more about despair and misery than evil and hatred. It comes out in the art, whatever it is. As much as people would say I eat babies...I mean, I’m not saying I wouldn’t, just that I don’t.”
And he’s only just getting started. Paul’s next step is to create a genre more grotesque and bizarre than anything anyone could imagine.
“I want to invent doom reggae,” chuckles Paul. “I love the beats and rhythms of reggae, but it’s always Jah shit! Jah this, Jah that, positive and peace and love. I want to make reggae I enjoy that’s anti-Jah. That’s a goal of mine -- I can’t find any dark reggae out there. My goal is a guy with a strong accent who wants to sing about hating God. It’s going to be a tough one!”
Since Paul’s music is instrumental, we asked him to take us on a journey through some of his tracks, as a tour through the dark realms of his mind. In response, Paul sent us this commentary for his track Punishment, and...well, let's just say you won't find chills quite like this in a slasher movie.
