thefucKINGFUCKS is a Belgian underground industrial rock performance art group that began as a musical side project for controversial visual artist Kendell Geers and Patrick Codenys of Front 242.
thefucKINGFUCKS is an open-source artist collective strongly influenced by the ideas and theories of the Acéphale group founded by Georges Bataille in the 1930s.
They conduct secretive research into the history and nature of rituals, rites, initiation, sacred sexuality, and magick, translating these findings into public forms such as performance, art, music, dance, and installation.
[12] Post-punk defines an attitude as well as a musical genre, while pagan reflects the group's interest in rites, rituals, and questions of faith.
On 26 June 2008, Kendell Geers and Ilse Ghekiere presented their collaborative work in an installation at the Royal Monceau "Demolition Party"[14] in Paris.
Geers' razorblade installations serve as the backdrop to the grinding electronic body music rhythms and beats of Codenys, while Ghekiere's erotic trance performances are key to unlocking the mystery.
Reflecting their interest in the dark arts, the sounds often dwell in the extreme low sub-bass frequencies, felt more in the pit of the stomach than heard with the ears.
