Kick It With Kittie - The Mystical Hot Chocolate Endeavors
The Mystical Hot Chocolate Endeavors started off as a passion project by Hate Storm Annihilation founder Craig Schmuhl, who had been interested in pursuing musical endeavors outside the sonic boundaries of the Death Metal genre for quite some time. With the intention of delivering a more diverse musical experience, he began writing in the summer of 2015. No real purpose or goals, just writing with the only mission statement being that it needed to be music made without limitation; genera, song length, or “standard song form” in anyway. In other words, true progressive music.
Since the summer of 2019, The Mystical Hot Chocolate Endeavors have been hitting the road to deliver a unique live musical experience that offers incredible dynamic range to a wide array of sonic territories. Everything from 70’s Progressive Rock, 90’s Alternative Rock/Shoegaze, 80’s New Wave, 2000’s Post-Rock, and even moments of Modern “Extreme Metal”. The lyrical themes are primarily focused around reflecting different aspects of human life be they Social, Environmental, Political, Spiritual, and in some cases much more personal.
But what about the name? It would be fair to assume The Mystical Hot Chocolate Endeavors name is based off of some chocolatey LSD trip that sends the listener spiraling off into the outer reaches of space, searching for extraterrestrial beings and the true meaning of life (42). But jokes aside, this is very much the intention behind the band. We want to get people asking “What is a Mystical Hot Chocolate Endeavor? And what does a band with a name like that even sound like?”
