about

Korpelarörelsen, „the Korpela Movement“, named after Laestadian preacher Toivo Korpela, was an actual proto-satanic UFO-cult that was mainly active in the 1930s in Northern Sweden and attained considerable regional notoriousness. Korpela had been banned from his Finnish congregation early on as a dangerous dissenter, based on their particularly emphasized Lutheran dogma of “profanity” – in the sense of sex, music and consumption of alcohol. As a reaction, the movement was spectacularly radicalized under Korpela’s successor Sigurd Siikavaara and slowly morphed into an apocalyptic sect, whose main focal point became a prophecy of the last 1335 days before the end of the world. Only the 666 most zealous believers would be saved by a flying silver ark and brought to Palestine for the resurrection of Christ. When the cult’s religious leader was committed to a mental institution by the government, he had a divine epiphany that would define the group’s final, scandalously decadent peak, as he claimed to be chosen by the holy spirit itself. Now inspired and legitimized as a bona fide prophet, Siikavaara could simply forgive all sins among his disciples in the name of the lord, so that every vice was henceforth explicitly encouraged. In virtually complete opposition to all Christian doctrine, the religious practices of the over 600 followers at the time switched to sexual mass orgies and ominous drug-infused rituals even involving minors, acccording to authorities.

Almost 100 years after its formation, the movement was now brought back to life with followers from its authentic regional cradle, musically substantiated in the adequate form of black metal. „Är du av den rätta tron“ („Are you of the right faith?“) is a professional soundtrack production to an avantgarde theatrical extravaganza that’s been performed in Sweden anywhere from outdoor markets to royal state theaters since 2021 and is designated for premieres across the rest of Europe. The concept is modeled after a religious mass featuring a full metal band. The lyrics chronologically deal with the history, the gospel and the speculative arrival of the cult’s prophecies and are versatilely accompanied by a wide range of musical means: sepulchral preachings of the prophet answered by his screaming disciples are accompanied by ambient synth-scapes and analog experimental noise, only to be interrupted by the rawest scandinavian black metal mixed with old-school death/thrash cannonades, before everything gives way to an infernal pagan metal heresy based on a Finnish folk song.

Avantgarde meets underground meets radio drama, against the backdrop of real events – which are worth re-discovering not only for enthusiasts of the macabre and the occult, but for every fan of original, exceptional metal art.
Are you of the right faith? Save yourself a spot on the silver ark: „Är du av den rätta tron“ will be released worldwide on 9 April 2022 for download and on double 12" vinyl LP in a strictly limited gatefold edition. BHN035 is now available for preorder exclusively at Bleeding Heart Nihilist:
