Vet inte riktigt vem som kan vara intresserad

och jag har inte sett den än. Inte haft tid, inte vågat. Men, skulle någon vara intresserad av en entimmesdokumentär om Celtic Frost, så har ni en här:

Purging Tongues

Who in truth has acted and is perhaps acting also inside these walls, so as to warn us that the time is at hand—and to console us, because if the time is at hand, the sufferings will surely be intolerable, but not infinite, since the great cycle of this universe is about to be fulfilled? Oh, you have all understood very well, and you fear to utter the name, for it is also yours and you are afraid of it, but though you have fear, I shall have none, and I will say this name in a loud voice so that your viscera may twist in fright and your teeth chatter and cut off your tongue, and the chill that forms in your blood make a dark veil descend over your eyes. ... He is the foul beast, he is the Antichrist!

The Antichrist, when he comes, comes in all and for all, and, each is a part of him. He will be in the bands of brigands who sack cities and countryside, he will be in unforeseen signs in the heavens whereby suddenly rainbows will appear, horns and fires, while the moaning of voices will be heard and the sea will boil. It has been said that men and animals will generate monsters, but this means that hearts will conceive hatred and discord. Do not look around you for a glimpse of the animals of the illuminations you so enjoy on parchments! It has been said that young wives not long wed will give birth to babes already able to speak perfectly, who will bring word that the time is at hand and will ask to be killed. But do not search the villages down below us, the too-wise babes have already been killed inside these very walls! And like those babes of the prophecies, they had the appearance of men already old, and in the prophecy they were the quadruped children, and the ghosts, and the embryos that were to prophesy in the mothers’ wombs uttering magic spells. And all has been written, do you know that? It has been written that many will be the agitations among those of rank, and among the peoples, the churches; that wicked shepherds will rise up, perverse, disdainful, greedy, pleasure-seeking, lovers of gain, enjoyers of idle speech, boastful, proud, avid, arrogant, plunged in lewdness, seekers of vainglory, enemies of the Gospel, ready to repudiate the strait gate, to despise the true word; and they will hate every path of piety, they will not repent their sins, and therefore will spread among all peoples disbelief, fraternal hatred, wickedness, hardness of heart, envy, indifference, robbery, drunkenness, intemperance, lasciviousness, carnal pleasure, fornication, and all the other vices.

And it will be at this point, precisely this, that the Antichrist will have his blasphemous apparition, ape as he wants to be of our Lord. In those times (which are these) all kingdoms will be swept away, there will be famine and poverty, and poor harvests, and winters of exceptional severity. And the children of that time (which is this) will no longer have anyone to administer their goods and preserve food in their storerooms, and they will be harassed in the markets of buying and selling. Blessed, then, are those who will no longer live, or who, living, will be able to survive! Then will come the son of perdition, the enemy who boasts and swells up, displaying many virtues to deceive the whole earth and to prevail over the just. Syria will fall and mourn her sons. The daughter of Babylon will rise from the throne of her splendor to drink from the cup of bitterness. Barbarian camps and war chariots will appear on all sides to occupy the lands. Youths will die by the sword, girl children will be taken prisoner, sons and daughters will commit incest. On every side will appear abomination and desolation, the Antichrist will defeat the West and will destroy the trade routes; in his hand he will have sword and raging fire, and in violent fury the flame will burn: his strength will be blasphemy, his hand treachery, the right hand will be ruin, the left the bearer of darkness. These are the features that will mark him: his head will be of burning fire, his right eye will be bloodshot, his left eye a feline green with two pupils, and his eyebrows will be white, his lower lip swollen, his ankle weak, his feet big, his thumb crushed and elongated!

It is the moment, when everything will fall into lawlessness, sons will raise their hands against fathers, wives will plot against husbands, husbands will bring wives to law, masters will be inhuman to servants and servants will disobey their masters, there will be no more respect for the old, the young will demand to rule, work will seem a useless chore to all, everywhere songs will rise praising license, vice, dissolute liberty of behavior. And after that, rape, adultery, perjury, sins against nature will follow in a great wave, and disease, and soothsaying, and spells, and flying bodies will appear in the heavens, in the midst of the good Christians false prophets will rise, false apostles, corrupters, impostors, wizards, rapists, usurers, perjurers and falsifiers; the shepherds will turn into wolves, priests will lie, monks will desire things of this world, the poor will not hasten to the aid of their lords, the powerful will be without mercy, the just will bear witness to injustice. All cities will be shaken by earthquakes, there will be pestilence in every land, storm winds will uproot the earth, the fields will be contaminated, the sea will secrete black humors, new and strange wonders will take place upon the moon, the stars will abandon their courses, other stars—unknown—will furrow the sky, it will snow in summer, and in winter the heat will be intense. And the times of the end will have come, and the end of time. ... On the first day at the third hour in the firmament a great and powerful voice will be raised, a purple cloud will advance from the north, thunder and lightning will follow it, and on the earth a rain of blood will fall. On the second day the earth will be uprooted from its seat and the smoke of a great fire will pass through the gates of the sky. On the third day the abysses of the earth will rumble from the four corners of the cosmos. The pinnacles of the firmament will open, the air will be filled with columns of smoke, and there will be the stench of sulphur until the tenth hour. On the fourth day, early in the morning, the abyss will liquefy and emit explosions, and buildings will collapse. On the fifth day at the sixth hour the powers of light and the wheel of the sun will be destroyed, and there will be darkness over the earth till evening, and the stars and the moon will cease their office. On the sixth day at the fourth hour the firmament will split from east to west and the angels will be able to look down on the earth through the crack in the heavens and all those on earth will be able to see the angels looking down from heaven. Then all men will hide on the mountains to escape the gaze of the just angels. And on the seventh day Christ will arrive in the light of his Father. And there will then be the judgment of the just and their ascent, in the eternal bliss of bodies and souls. But this is not the object of your meditation this evening, proud brothers! It is not sinners who will see the dawn of the eighth day, when a sweet and tender voice will rise from the east, in the midst of the heavens, and that angel will be seen who commands all the other holy angels, and all the angels will advance together with him, seated on a chariot of clouds, filled with joy, speeding through the air, to set free the blessed who have believed, and all together they will rejoice because the destruction of this world will have been consummated! But this is not to make us rejoice proudly this evening! We will meditate instead on the words the Lord will utter to drive from him those who have not earned salvation: “Far from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for you by the Devil and his ministers) You yourselves have earned it, and now enjoy it! Go ye from me, descending into the eternal darkness and into the unquenchable fire! I made you and you became followers of another! You became servants of another lord, go and dwell with him in the darkness, with him, the serpent who never rests, amid the gnashing of teeth! I gave you ears to hear the Scripture and you listened to the words of pagans! I formed a mouth for you to glorify God, and you used it for the lies of poets and the riddles of buffoons! I gave you eyes to see the light of my precepts, and you used them to peer into the darkness! I am a humane judge, but a just one. To each I shall give what he deserves. I would have mercy on you, but I find no oil in your jars. I would be impelled to take pity, but your lamps are not cleaned. Go from me...” Thus will speak the Lord. And we will descend into the eternal torment. In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen!

Stench of decay

Igår fick jag In Putresence med Stench på vinyl. Det kan nog vara en av de snyggaste skivor jag äger. Art Deco möter dödsdyrkan. Så snygg så att jag kan rekommendera även de som hatar metal att köpa den, bara för att den är så fin att titta på.

Sen är den jävligt bra på alla andra plan också. Riktigt bra såndär gammal-fast-ny death metal med bra dödsdyrkanstexter som undviker genrens annars lite (så att säga) omogna attityd. Rekommenderas starkt.

Det har blivit en hel del vinyl på sista tiden. Lite oväntat.

Year Zero

And this is my intent
My statement
It is my world address
And my vision

What choice? Like a trapped rat
A social lab test
With no hope
And no way out

So I made a choice
We bow to none
It was all over before you were born

Semtex packed
I grind the prints
Filed edges, metal casing
Welded, stench
Aluminum burns chlorate
Retches the skin
Tetrachloride
Fire
I fix the fuse, set the head
Adrenalin
Grind to powder TNT
The nerves are filed
Electrical detonation
Grip hard
Strapped tight, and sweat burns

And heretic's commandments
Dogma and prayer
Your preacher's sons are gathered in despair

I'll say again, I never had faith to lose
As god is my witness
I will be an instrument of faith
I don't need to be fucking saved

This is year zero and the beginning of the end

The final immolation
And my mark upon the world
And this is the end

-Blood Revolt


Jag vet inte om skivan (som den här texten är tagen ifrån) nödvändigtvis är, i ordets egentliga bemärkelse, så himla bra. Riffen är inte helt jävla topplysande, trumspelandet är naturlgitvis helt totalt extremt och sjukligt osubtilt, som alltid när J. Read förättar sitt tarv. Men stämningen, poängen, den i sammanhanget absurda sången... Taxi Driver/UNA-bombarkonst. På det sättet en fantastiskt skiva där man verkligen på något sätt känner hur musiken på något sätt representerar kaoset i karaktärens huvud medans sången representerar hur han väljer att uttrycka det kaoset och hur de tu sporrar varandra. På så sätt fantastisk. En skiva som verkligen är mer än bara summan av delarna. Som någon annan uttryckte det: Death Metal for adults.

TIPS!

Lite nerladdningsbloggar för fans av obskyr black/death metal, punk/hc/crust, NWOBHM, konst etc.

Attila the Hun (oftast nyare BM etc)
True Punk & Metal (ja)
Crustcracker (återigen, ja)
Trouble On Your System (HC, Power Violence etc)
Lizards & Beans (gammal obskyr metal osv)
Lurker (UG-BM, konst, intervjuer och relaterat)
The Funeral Stench (Rå BM, Black Noise etc.)
Bestial Death ('obskyrare' släpp med inte fullt så obskyra BM/DM-band.)
Dunkelheit (både bra och menlös semiobskyr BM)
RAF 666 Underground (gammal metal)
Lockjaw (obskyra demos och OOP från 80- och 90-talet)

Mycket skit men mycket bra också.

Death Cantata

Ofermod spelar här i Sthlm 21/5. I Sumpan, va? Har inte varit säker på om man egentligen vill gå på det, men den här videon gjorde mig rätt pepp ändå.

Partyhatten behövdes kanske inte.

Så, vilka är på?


P.S. Saturnalia Temple spelar tydligen också.
P.S.S. Jim Goad hälsar: "If America's wealth and power were built on slavery, explain how the South lost the Civil War."

Anti-Goth

Allas vårt favoritskivbolag Nuclear War Now! låter meddela att Villains släpper ny skiva. Jag har ingen aning om vilka Villains är eller hur det låter men vi garanteras iallafall "overt rudeness and bizarre new terrritories" och det kan ju aldrig vara dåligt. Skivan, som heter "Lifecode of Decadence" har skivnummer ANTI-GOTH 16 och ska tydligen gå att få tag på här.

I övrigt har jag, musikaliskt sett, i stort sett bara pumpat gammal kärlek. Venom, Possessed, Conqueror, Nifelheim, Repugnant osv. Mycket Venom. Venom är ett av världens bästa band. Världens tuffaste texter. Faktum är att jag älskar Venom såhär mycket.

Det har blivit en del ny kärlek också, i form av Pest och Tribulation (vars spelning definitivt INTE gick av för hackor. Fifan vad bra det var).

I övrigt finns en viss tomhet i mitt bröst. En viss brist på riktning och styrsel. Det är måhända den kvardröjande kemiska effekten av helgens förlustelser, men den ligger alltid och lurar lite på mig. Det är inte någon direkt personlig eller känslomässig brist på styrsel utan snarare så att jag är särdeles osäker på min position i världen och var jag vill vara. Om ni förstår. Det är ganska mycket en praktiskt fråga, tror jag. På sitt sätt.

Trött är jag. Men jag läste en peppande grej tidigare idag. Jag håller nämligen på att läsa typ världens krångligaste bok 'Ink' av Hal Duncan. Jag tänkte att jag skulle citera hela det peppande stycket för er.

"So what is this tree of knowledge of good and evil, my friend, if it is the twin brother of that other tree from which God said the man of clay and the mother of all living should not eat, that tree of life? What is the twin of life but death? Surely this then is the knowledge gained by Adam and Eve. It is a curse, because to understand this truly is to understand that everything is dust, to be stripped of all illusions, to face one's own mortality. The world becomes poisoned. Nothing matters. But is it not also the cure for all ills? Because to understand this fully is to understand this: it does not matter, my friend, that nothing matter."

Eller, det kanske bara är jag som tycker att det är peppande?
