The moniker “Savage Sun” was born from the most lucid and frightening nightmare that I have ever experienced. The setting was late at night, on the corner of an unknown street in north Stockton, California, one block from a dead end. As the nightmare began, I recall that the weather was nice, the sky calm. I was talking with a stranger (a man), when suddenly, the sun came soaring over the horizon in all of its ferocity. The sun ascended with such speed, that it did not bring the daylight with it. There, above us all, the fiery orb looked intently down upon the Earth as it filled an entire quarter of the visible, starry night sky. The sun was personified (meaning it was alive), with a beastly expression, anger raging in its eyes, hatred emanating from its facial expression, and breathing heavily. As it loomed above the Earth in the most intense and threatening manner, the sun swayed and floated in a tight circular fashion, like a predator ready to devour its prey. I knew in this moment that the sun had come to destroy us, and to exact revenge against humanity for mankind’s recklessness, neglect, and lack of care for the Earth. In the reckoning of all reckonings, the sun inhaled a mighty breath and began screaming violently at the Earth with an infuriated roar that was beyond human comprehension.

I awoke to find myself drenched in sweat and trembling. I must have lain awake for more than 5 minutes, shaking uncontrollably as I attempted to process what I had just experienced. In case you are wondering, I had not done any drugs the night before, and I am accustomed to having violent nightmares, where I am murdered and other violent things play out, but I usually shake them off without much effect. No other nightmare ever compared to this one. I now question whether or not the pulsating bass of the sun's scream could have been a nocturnal seizure. I guess I will never know, but this is how the name 'Savage Sun" was conceived, and I've been settin' fire to stages and tearin' down roofs ever since.
finally back from the vaca, and ready to ball out on the video.
