I already asked my question in this thread. Interested in the second question because if the answer to the first is anything other than a "We appreciate it," I'd be surprised.

So, greenbank told me that christ gave you guys a cdr full of audiowarez back in the day and is it because you used audiowarez on the back catalog the reason why you aren't releasing everything?

Is there a deliberate narrative being told in TH or is it a loose concept that has no definitive story line or meaning and is strictly open to interpretation?

I think they have already answered this about their music in general. If I can paraphrase from an interview I read once:
"It certainly has a definitive meaning to us, but we would like the listeners to come to their own conclusions. Some of them are undoubtedly right but it is interesting seeing the range of interpretations"

That was the gist of what I remember reading but it isn't word-for-word

They've only read about the suffering to know how to recreate it, and since they have created it they take a different direction each time. The art is up to the spectator. Making them businessmen?

If I get a guaranteed answer?

Have you ever taken a formal class/lecture or watched a video or in any way learned something about music theory, or are you just so good at interpreting the sounds/shapes/colors of your chords that you kind of just make it up as you go along?

I wouldn't accuse them of being completely random with their chord structures but they're very un-traditional and work very well to create a unique sound. I'm just curious whether that happened by accident or they actually know exactly what they're doing, because either answer seems plausible to me.

I know that one or both of them has a masters degree in arts from Edinburgh college if that helps.
