The true story:

Mid-1990s. Authorities arrest a paranoid criminal shortly before he completes his work. He is taken to the investigator. He calls himself a “Bad Man” and shocks everyone with his statement: A woman locked in a room. Explosives in public places. Poison in aqueducts. He has a horrible plan: To destroy the world. He is unanimously sentenced to life imprisonment and his case remains strictly confidential for reasons of public reassurance.

In his new album, I Will Destroy the World, Paidi Trauma publishes the secret document of the paranoid criminal’s multi-page apology, which has remained secret for almost three decades. The album contains ten songs, literally based on this apology.
