Shane: It s the first porno with an actual black mass, wafers dipped in Paris s ass. Matt Zane is the first person to do a black mass on film since Anton LeVay. He wasn t acting when he did it. This is the black mass my wife and I wrote. 

Matt Zane: Shane is an actual priest in the Church of Satan. He was inducted by Anton LeVay. We ve been working together for ten years. It all came to a head at 666 Eve, June 6, 2006. 

Shane: Satan wishes he got the pussy that Mark lays. 

Matt: I consider the Church of Satan to be the Old Testament and I m writing the new one. 

I promise you that you will be changed by the end of the movie & A lot of Adult flicks don t have that depth to it & He takes social taboos and destroys them. Everything that you think is not acceptable as far as sexuality and religion, he completely bashes down the doors. He touches on such blasphemy in this film as urinating on an inverted crucifix and uses the urine to baptize women. Blood play. 

Shane: The porn world is going to freak. This is like taboo in the porn world. When you get on Adult DVD Talk, people are shocked by the nature of this & This is truly alt-porn. 

The best minds came together on this [movie]. Matt. Mark. Rob & These guys are gods. The pussy that they throw away is amazing. The Zane clan, it s like hanging out with David Lee Roth. 

Matt: Except it s like David Lee Goth. 

When you do something groundbreaking in music, people remember you and they give you respect. In the porn world, I came back after seven years and people wonder, Who are you?  Dude, seven years ago, I was on the cover of AVN. What do you mean, who am I? Where  s the respect?

It s been fairly easy getting back in and getting the press going. 

When Shane did this movie, he lived in Elie, Minnesota. The town petitioned him to move. The night he moved out, someone shot a blast through his door. 

Shane: Chuck Zane did the first satanic porn with Damien HellX. 

Matt: You and I know that nobody talks about me anymore. .. Is there any lasting glory [in porn]? It doesn t seem like it & No one seems to care & Luckily I have my music career to hold on to. 

Mark: I ve been around for ten years and people still don t know my name. 

I love the girls and I love the creative side [of porn]. 

Shane: I would never doubt myself because I m fully thought out before I do anything. I don t doubt anything I ve done. 

Luke: If you never doubt because you ve already thought anything through, then how can you ever learn anything? 

Shane: Of course because I ve thought of everything before I do it. 

Luke: What are some things you ve learned? 

Shane: That s a hard one. I learn something every day. 

Luke: What do you guys love and hate about growing older? 

They protest.

Matt: We got in this business when we were 21. Now we re 32. Getting older, it sucks. 

Mark: There s nothing good about getting older. I m not even going to say that you get smart, even though you do. It s horrible. 

Matt: It takes longer to heal. You can t drop as many loads. It s harder to keep this beautiful figure. 

Mark: Soon no one wants to f  you because you re old. You re the old guy in the club. 

Matt: Some of the hottest guys in porn. They re old now. The girls don t want to f  them. You go to their hotel rooms and they re alone. That s going to be us eventually. 

Mark: We were the young kids in porn. 

Matt: I was the youngest director in the business. 

Shane: It s horrible. It is a nightmare. 

Luke: If you had six months to live, what would you do? 

Matt: I d go on one last tour, drink myself into a stupor, and die on stage. 

We ve spent enough time with our family. 

Mark: I d probably go to Vegas and have this huge blowout and just kill myself with hookers and booze. 

Matt: I d go to Amsterdam. 

Luke: What was the happiest time of your life? 

Mark: When I was a child. Everything s taken care of for you. Everything s fun and games. Now I have responsibility. I have to pay rent. My mom doesn t cook for me. 

Matt: When I stepped in front of 40,000 people at the Download Festival in 2005 after performing for 40 minutes with four meat hooks through my back and I made history in the world of music, and I just stood there with my arms out and I looked over those 40 people and every one of them had their fists up and they were chanting in the air my name, I realized I was going to go down in the history books of music, at least in Europe. That was by far my happiest moment. 

Shane: The last 20 years have been very happy for me. The first 18 were absolutely miserable. 

Mark: Once I realized my dad was in porn [and he, Mark, wouldn t have to work hard in school], I partied my ass off in high school. It was probably the happiest time of my life. I think I graduated with a GPA of .69. 

Joey Strange posts on XPT:

I played the Rockin 666 Eve  show he did with Zane and everything was fucked from the beginning. Just about everything we agreed on was either a pain in the ass to get, or didn t happen at all. At the end of the night (we were the last to play) The sound Tech was nodding off from Heroin so we had no live sound, I personally kicked a Satanic Priest off of the stage so that my band had their alloted time. Keep in mind that the priest  was in panties, drunk, reciting super-stupid poetry that went no where. It was very hard to pin down Shane to get paid at the end of the night. A lot of people didn t even get thier agreed to pay for the night. The show was also supposed be released on DVD and all the performers were going to get copies of their own to sell. I have seen the the DVD for sale, no one I know actually got their copies. As for as I am concerned, Shane is a Tard, a thief, and a liar.
