Multi-Platinum Producer-mixer-engineer fires up Blue Eyed Christ and delivers a seminal work
John D. Norten, Renaissance man, is a musical beast, very much a citizen of the era. He is a philosopher and a wizard of human behavior, while keeping his perspective. He is known for many things including his band Blue Eyed Christ, and collaboration with Trash Deity. He loves his fans and is thoughtful and generous to them. He is also a producer, recording engineer, and mixer extraordinaire. He has a tremendous mind and considers questions from different angles while using critical thinking skills - a dying form of diction. The Gauntlet interview with John was a privilege. His latest Blue Eyed Christ Offering "World on Fire" Fits the quasi-dystopia we find ourselves in. He carefully weaves vignettes and archetypes the result being a record that spans all time. Double entendre, metaphor, and universal themes are not subtle but visceral about the problems we face. Nevertheless the record remains completely apolitical.
