“Ov Fire and the Void“ is a song by the extreme metal band Behemoth from their 2009 album Evangelion. The lyrics are inspired by Max Stirner's philosophy. When the first demo versions were recorded, Adarm “Nergal“ Darski shared how he perceived the aural essence: Whilst listening to the first demo versions of this track I had an irresistible feeling that every single tone is filled with overwhelming spirit of Dionysus; god of ecstatic chaos, source of pure joy which reaches far beyond false boundaries between good and evil, life and death, love and hate. Dionysian rave focuses entirely on Here and Now, experiential knowledge, intuition and passion. All of these are essential factors or components of any form of Art. The world governed by such virtues cannot be corrupted or repressed by an order which every culture or civilization tries to force on. In its nature it is much more primordial and pure. The same can be said about a creative chaos; it goes beyond any sort of intellect
