Controlled Burn/The Conqueror Manifesto

Pete Helmkamp is a true warrior of life, shedding his vocal and bass talents in the past for Revenge and Kerasphorus. Two war metal bands that blaze a blasphemic path of nuclear destruction in the face of the modern death metal scene. The latter disbanded a short time ago. What some might not know about Helmkamp is that he has written two books, or rather collections of ideological aphorisms designed for the strong and iron willed. He calls it the “philosophy of ascendance”, and it tends to fall in line with similar ideas and stances posed by other iconical writers like Nietzsche and even Hitler. His first tome is entitled The Conqueror Manifesto, and is somewhat of a more vast scope of information in which his second book offers. From an interview i had read with him, he explains the purpose of infiltrating this will of ascending, and creating an elite, and evolving from the ills of modern man.

Hear some war metal torture and then read about his interesting ideas here

Organized religion is seen as the precursor to our own growth because it posits itself into a fixed state of what is real and not real, black and white, and already assumes truth. It is for us who are willing to seek deep within the fabric of our being that it is not our purpose to submit ourselves to rules or morality. The second tome Controlled Burn is rather existential because it requires one to act upon things themselves, instead of relying on a dictator. And is empirical in the sense that after experience, there is enlightenment and yet room for further knowledge. It is a strict code not of faith or laws but self discipline and an austere look on life. I have been trying to track down a copy of the first one ‘The Conqueror Manifesto” to no such luck. It was supposedly reprinted last year but if anyone out there possessed a copy and would not mind to part with it, i will pay you. But i have found some scans of the Controlled Burn edition and put them here below to read. In the interview Pete expressed his dissatisfaction about it being in limited numbers, and the possibility that only his listeners would know about them. But he continues to write more, and i look forward to reading the continuations of his books. We need more fucking fighters and less weak willed puppets, so take some time to educate yourself and make a change in your life!

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does”

      I’m not entirely sure, I don’t think he did vocals for Revenge at Black Flames of Blasphemy, so i think he has other projects he is working on. Try scavenging for some recent interviews.
