XEnophopia's lifeblood is mismanagement of world resources and power-based corruption and there's more than enough of that to go around, especially in that part of the world thanks to the long arm of "the West". The events of 9/11 truly changed our perspective on EVERYTHING in the world. We all had different ways of responding and coping with the tragic fate that had become us all collectively on that horrific day. It truly did signal the start of an ongoing international STATE OF EMERGENCY that has continued to rip this country apart ever since it's inception. That was when i had MY reaction to this travesty...That was when I really started composing music with a specific message in mind, And thus began ARABIAN KNIGHTMARES and it has been rocking this sleep of justice ever since. The first track I completed was wholly channeled from this TRAUMA. "Premonition 9/11" came out as my 1st single on DRONE RECORDS in 2003. But the 1st track I ever composed for this project, Liberation through Martyrdom was out of my LOVE of Arabian culture and my great sadness at seeing it destroyed from the inside AND the outside simultaneously. It is a very cathartic work for me, and although it means little and solves nothing, I hope it is at the very least a cathartic listen for you. And so please listen to the new sampling of tracks from ARABIAN KNIGHTMARES 1st CD that i just uploaded and if you enjoy those tracks, odds are you'll love the rest of the album too.
