- King Dude is the pseudonym for Seattle artist and musician TJ Cowgill (Teen Cthulhu, Book of Black Earth, Cross, Actual Pain). Formed from the void of spiritual, Satanic folk music in our current age, Cowgill as King Dude has quickly carved his own niche in the world's underground music scene. Comparisons to Death in June, Current 93, and Of the Wand and the Moon (whom released a split 7" with King Dude) run amok, along with comparisons to Guthrie, Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. But there is no direct rip off going on here. "I was writing these songs," says Cowgill, " and I ended up playing them for a friend of mine, who said I reminded her of Current 93, that's when I started listening to bands like that." Truly this music is natural in its inception and form, and speaks of world of Luciferian Light, knowledge and spirituality beyond the confides of otherwise strict monotheistic reasoning. "My music is the music of the world, of nature, of the devil, of love and destruction. I think it speaks to everyone equally no matter who they are or what they believe because the light bringer is in us all, awake or waiting to be awakened." Whatever is going on, King Dude's brand of psych folk has a tendency to evoke a quiet calm that is at once soothing and disheartening.
