Morbid Scriptorium: A Museum of Metal Zines
In order to establish a solid, even scientifical basis for the study and appreciation of Death Metal, we are collecting and digitizing diverse materials related to Death Metal history, such as zines, flyers and demo covers. The death metal zine reference center and the death metal art repository are at your disposal. If you appreciate the contents of these archives, please get in touch and contribute something from your own collections in order to preserve memory, information and knowledge and to save these rare gems from being buried by the sands of time: The Past is Alive. We also would like all our noble readers to stay active in their own productive manner and through their contacts spreading the word about all these projects, archives and analyses which ultimately achieve their meaning by the responsive awareness of the intelligent observers somewhere out there, who prowl as wolves among the sheep. Here are some Death Metal related flyers, links and banners you can spread like the plague in order for our hordes and communication networks to grow towards world domination and eternal victory.
Echoes From Kali Yuga
An ominous atmosphere of impending ruin pervaded the sound of many Death Metal bands, whose worldview afforded them an acute awareness of declining modernity. These artists understood that the course of civilization is subject to decay as much as any organic matter, despite the prevailing belief that human constructs are entirely seperate to the natural world that they operate within. Ancient Indo-European peoples predicted the nature of this downfall with great accuracy, as they believed in a cycle of creation and dissolution in which the same ego-principles slowly manifest time and time again. The 3000 year old Vedic text known as the Srimad Bhagavatam provides one of the more detailed explanations of how the last age of the cycle – the Kali Yuga – reaches it’s apex; extracts from which the Death Metal music in the video accompanies as inheritors to this cosmic vision of the world.
