The name is derived from the first factory to commercially manufacture Absinthe - a drink popular amongst poets and artists around the turn of the 20th century. Absinthe contained an element called wormwood oil extract, which produced hallucinogenic effects when consumed. This property allowed those seeking creative energy to effectively induce an open mind. Pernod Fils is nothing more than a synonym of this - a statement of what this music is intended to do.

The more people we can bring this to, the better.

Pernod is a solo artist, operating under the self-created label - Under Ground Control Entertainment aka: THE UGC

Fils grew up listening to the roots of rap as we know it: N.W.A, Public Enemy, ICP, Geto Boys, and Cypress Hill. His own collection ranges from everything noted above to Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Shadows Fall, and even some blues. The underlying element within Pernod Fils is to be original, incorporate lessons learned, reflect stress, and create a hard, dark sounding and thought provoking message.

Pernod is the self-proclaimed Mad Scientist of Rap. Overall, the music is designed to be dark, eerie, and thought provoking. The subject matter is vast; it ranges from everyday stressors to paranormal activity, outer space, extraterrestrials, speculation about reincarnation, and everything in between. The lyrics are not rushed; they are calculated and practiced.
