I Shalt Become

I Shalt Become started as a one-man black metal project by S. Holliman in 1995.

Despite the common misbelief that I Shalt Become is associated with political beliefs, and more specifically National Socialism, Holliman has officially stated that this band has nothing to do with any political beliefs or ideologies. As a further statement against this, the following line was included in the insert for In the Falling Snow when it was officially released in 2008: "No ideology, no belief...just pained."
