Today, our guest is Jon Siren, drummer of the decadent rock galaxy called IAMX. In addition to IAMX, Jon plays parallel in such bands as EARLY MAN and MANKIND IS OBSOLETE (where he is also a songwriter). He also gives drum lessons and is the author of the book ‘The Touring Vegan’. He also has incredibly cool tattoos, which we will be happy to tell you about!

Reflections of Darkness [RoD]: When did you get your first tattoo and what was it? Did it take much time until you decided to get it done?
Jon: My first tattoo was of “Gaius Helen Mohiam” a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother as part of a ‘Dune’ sleeve. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to have on my arm and to find an artist, Clint Carney (http://clintcarney.com), who could both conceptualize the image based off the book character and to also execute it.

The Rhythmic Noise scene in 2019 pleased its fans with excellent works in classical sound as well as unique material that differs from the rest. Young projects make music similar to the best works of their more distinguished colleagues and old respected artists create new opuses, experimenting with sound and other electronic genres. There is a tendency of merging techno scene with rhythmic noise also this year. It will be clear with time if it’s good or bad. In the meantime, we will enjoy excellent furious thrillers and atmospheric experiments.

• Behind The Revolver

I am always happy when we have guests in our project from far away, now this is one of this cases. Tomy Robert comes from Charlesbourg, Quebec, Canada. He is playing guitar in the Metalcore band BEHIND THE REVOLVER and the Death Black Metal band OBSERVANTS. The last release of the first band is already a few years behind: ‘As We Blossom And Fade Away’ was released on 1st December 2017. OBSERVANTS had their last release ‘Supreme Being’ on 2nd August 2019. But now I want to speak about tattoos, because I not often see such amazing coloured tattoos as Tomy has them and I want to share this with you.

Peter Waljus is the voice and guitar player of HIGHRIDE from Stockholm, Sweden. The band was formed in 2006 and plays a unique combination of Punk, Sleaze and Hard Rock. On 29th May 2020, the band has released the new album, ‘Excellence & Decadence’ which I really can recommend to all Punk fans. I found the artwork of the album simple but very excited and perfectly fitting to the release: a skeleton in crown with a bottle of champagne. Today, we want to talk about our main topic, because Peter has many tattoos to show.
