Chasm / Connecticut Shooting
« on: December 15, 2012, 04:56:58 PM »
Most people will analyze the shooting by trying to "figure it out."
I offer you something different.  I analyze by analogon.
Most people will say "ban guns."
I say:  ban school!
Most people will say "if he did not have a gun, they would not have been killed."
I say:  if they had not been at school, they would not have been killed.  You cannot deny that this is not true!
Only living people think death is a problem!
Death is a symbolic stake more than anything else.  Death doesn't actually "happen!"

Below, in audiofile, Metal Hall user "gevatterhein" has a signature that reads:  'The sooner you die the longer you're dead.'

I can not tell you how brilliant this man is!
If more is better, and faster is better, than it only makes sense that, as far as death is concerned, it is better to die sooner!
The faster you die, the better!
If only it were possible to be more dead than dead!
If only we could die over and over and over!

Chasm / Fate
« on: October 06, 2012, 04:24:54 PM »
Two shit-heads are driving and texting.  They crash into each other and die.  What caused their death?  What caused the crash?  Texting?  If they had been on foot and texting, they would not have died.  Maybe they would have walked into each other and said 'excuse me.'  So it's the cars then?  If they had been driving and not texting, they would have seen each other and swerved, so no.  So it's the cars and the texting combined into one factor?  But in the next town over, two shit heads are driving and texting and they drive past each other fine and dandy.  So no.  Happens all the time.  One person dies from a freak accident, the other person comes retardedly close to death and lives to tell the tale.  One person drives carelessly and lives, the other drives carefully and dies.  It involves so many unrelated circumstances and factors that one might as well call it fate.  Fate must be taken into account.  There is always a wild card.

Chasm / Witchcraft in the Sagas
« on: August 11, 2012, 11:11:48 PM »
The world of the sagas is very rugged and grim.  The writing itself reflects this, but there is just enough quirkiness and humor (and it's hard to tell sometimes whether it's intended or unintended) to balance things out and keep you smiling.

The Saga of Vatnsdal primarily revolves around the sons of Ingimund.  The sons, primarily Jokul and Thorstein, have been dealing with the evil Mother and Son, Ljot and Hrolleif.  It is said that Ljot is a witch and that Hrolleif is also some sort of sorcerer:
Quote
   They journeyed and came to As and there was no one outside.  They saw firewood piled against the wall on both sides of the gable.  They also saw a little hut standing in front of the door, and a gap between it and the door to the main building.
   Thorstein said, “That must be the place of sacrifice, and Hrolleif is meant to go there when his mother has completed her rites and all her witchcraft – but I don’t like it much at all.  Go now and wait round the corner by the house and I will sit up above the door with a stick in my hand, and if Hrolleif comes out, I will then throw the stick towards you, and you must all then run over to me.”
   Jokul said, “It’s easy to see, brother, that you want to gain honour from this as everything else, but I won’t have it, and I will sit with the stick.”
   Thorstein said, “You want your own way, even though things will not go any better, because it seems to me that you are liable to be the cause of some mishap.”
   Jokul positioned himself in the pile of firewood, and soon a man came out and looked around by the door, and did not see the men who had come there.  Then a second man came out and a third, and this was Hrolleif.  Jokul recognized him clearly and gave a violent start, and the log pile collapsed, but he was still able to throw the stick to his brothers, and jumped down and managed to grab Hrolleif so that he could not run away.  There was no difference in their strength, and they both rolled down the bank, each lying alternately on top and underneath.
   When the brothers approached, Hogni said, “What monster is this coming towards us here?  I do not know what it is.”
   Thorstein replied, “This is Ljot the old witch – look how bizarrely she has got herself up.”
   She had pulled her clothes up over her head and was walking backwards, with her head thrust between her legs.  The look in her eyes was hideous – the way she could dart them like a troll.
   Thorstein said to Jokul, “Kill Hrolleif now; you have wanted to do this for a long time.”
   Jokul said, “I’m quite ready for it now.”
   He then hacked off his head and told him he would never haunt them again.
That's that.  Who's next?
Quote
    It is now time to tell of the man who was mentioned earlier and was called Thorolf Sledgehammer.  He developed into an extremely unruly individual.  He was a thief and also much inclined towards other troublemaking.  It seemed to folk that his settling in the area was a very bad thing and that no sort of evil from him would come as any surprise.  Though he was without followers, he was the owner of creatures on whom he relied for protection – these were twenty cats, they were absolutely huge, all of them black and much under the influence of witchcraft.
   At this time men went to Thorstein and told him of their difficulties – they said that all the governance in the region was in his hands, and that Thorolf had stolen from lots of people and done many other wicked deeds.
   Thorstein said that what they said was true, “but it is not easy to deal with this man of Hel and his cats, and I’ll spare all my men that.”
   They said that he could hardly retain his honour if nothing were done.  After that Thorstein assembled some men and wanted the backing which came with their numbers.  With him were all his brothers and his Norwegian follower.  They went to Sleggjustadir.  Thorolf would have no dealings with them; he could never abide the company of good men.
   He went inside when he saw the troop of men arriving on horseback and said, “Now there are guests to receive, and I intend to have my cats take care of this, and I will put them all outside in the doorway , and the men will be slow to gain entry with them defending the entrance.”
   He then fortified them greatly by magic spells and after this they were simply ferocious in their caterwauling and glaring.
You can't make this stuff up folks.

Chasm / The Tale of Bolli Bollason
« on: August 04, 2012, 04:33:24 PM »
Bolli and his brother Thorleik Bollason, sons of Bolli, son of Thorleik, son of Hoskuld, great great grandson of Ketil Flat-nose, son of Bjorn Buna, a powerful hersir in Norway.

Bolli and Thorleik are from Iceland but are back visiting Norway and staying with King Olaf:
Quote
As the spring advanced the brothers discussed their traveling plans, and Thorleik asked Bolli whether he wished to sail for Iceland that summer, 'or do you wish to remain in Norway longer?'
Bolli answered, 'I intend to do neither, and to tell you the truth when I left Iceland I had intended that people would not hear of me settling down next door.  I want you, brother, to take over our ship.'
Thorleik was saddened at the prospect of their parting, 'but you will have your way as in everything else, Bolli.'
When they told these same plans to the king, he answered, 'Do you not wish to dwell here with us any longer, Bolli?  I would prefer you to stay here with me for a while, and I will offer you the same title that I have conferred upon your brother Thorleik.'
To this Bolli answered:  'More than willing enough am I, my lord, to enter your service, but I intend first to travel to the destination which I originally set out for and where I have long wished to go.  Should I manage to return I will gladly accept this offer of yours.'
'You will decide your course yourself, Bolli, as you Icelanders usually intend to have your own way in most things.  But I have to say that I regard you, Bolli, as the most remarkable man to have come from Iceland during my day.'
Once Bolli had received the king's leave, he made ready for his journey and boarded a cog heading south to Denmark.  He took a great deal of wealth with him and was accompanied by several of his companions.  He and King Olaf parted the best of friends, and the king gave Bolli worthy farewell gifts.  Thorleik remained behind with King Olaf, while Bolli proceeded south to Denmark.  He spent the winter there and was shown great honour by powerful men.  He conducted himself there in a style no less luxurious than he had in Norway.  After a year in Denmark, Bolli began to journey through foreign countries, not stopping until he reached Constantinople.  After a short time there he entered the company of the Varangian guard, and we know no reports of northerners having entered the service of the Byzantine emperor before Bolli Bollason.  He spent many years in Constantinople, where he was regarded as the most valiant of fighters in any perilous situation, where he was among the foremost of them.  The Varangians thought highly of Bolli during his stay in Constantinople.

Saga of the People of Laxardal, section 73

Quote
That summer at the Althing Bolli met with Gudmund the Powerful, and the two conversed together at length.
Gudmund said, 'I want to say, Bolli, that it's men like you that I want to count among my friends.  I invite you to come north for a fortnight's feast, and will be disappointed if you fail to accept.'
Bolli answered that he would certainly accept this honour from a man such as him and promised to make the journey.  There were others who made him offers of friendship as well.  Arnor Crone's-nose invited him to a feast at Miklabaer.  A man named Thorstein who lived at Hals, the son of Hellu-Narfi, invited Bolli to stay with them on his way south again, as did Thord of Marbaeli.  When the Althing ended Bolli rode home.
That summer a ship made land at Dagverdarnes and was drawn ashore there.  Bolli lodged twelve of the merchant crew at Tunga over the winter and provided for them generously.  They all remained there until Christmas had passed.  Bolli then intended to make his promised visits to the north, had horses shod and made preparations for the journey.  They were a party of eighteen, with all of the merchant sailors bearing arms.  Bolli was wearing a black cape with his splendid spear, King's Gift, in his hand.  They rode northward until they reached Marbaeli, where Thord gave them a good welcome.  They spent three nights there in festive hospitality.  Then they rode to Miklabaer, where Arnor received them warmly.  The festivities were superb.
Arnor then spoke:  'You have done well, Bolli, in paying me this visit.  In doing so, I feel you have declared your great comradeship for me.  And no better gifts will remain here with me than the ones you accept at parting.  My friendship is also yours for the asking.  But I suspect not everyone in this district feels well inclined towards you.  Some of them, especially the Hjaltsons, feel they have been robbed of their honour.  I intend to follow you north as far as the Heljardal heath when you leave here.'
Bolli answered, 'I wish to thank you, Arnor my host, for all the honour you have shown me, and it will certainly improve our company if you ride along with us.  We plan on proceeding peacefully through this district, but if anyone should make any attempts to attack us, we may well repay them in kind for their trouble.'

Chasm / The cyclical nature of time
« on: June 26, 2012, 09:45:16 PM »
I'm not well versed in lots of specifics, but broadly speaking we can look to different mythologies and see a recurring theme of time as cyclical and this idea of different ages - Bronze Age, Silver Age, Gold Age, the Yugas of Hindu philosophy, Oswald Spengler, etc.  I think Evola uses this as well.  I think I take exception with certain aspects of strict Traditionalism when, in roundabout ways, they basically indict entire eras, including their geniuses.  It gets ridiculous when Beethoven or Romantic music in general is written off as basically too boisterous or fiery, not even-tempered enough.  I've seen this line of thinking floated in various places in the "Orthosphere."  The whole idea is that a mad-era produces Beethoven, a musical mad-man.  Of course people are products of their eras to a large extent and aberrant eras produce aberrant geniuses, but I think this is too reductive and there are other things at play. 

First of all, if there are such things as "time cycles," then it must be a number of cycles running at once.  Big cycles, small cycles, cycles within cycles, and cycles running concurrently.  Perhaps one could say individual Western countries run on their own cycle, but at the same time, there is a larger cycle in motion for the entire West, in general.  Furthermore, you can't completely fault the "linear view."  When we think of teaching young people, or transmitting culture to the next era we do it with the idea that we are actively shaping the future and that our work will be carried on, as we carried on our ancestors work.  We can also talk about the realms of genius.  If you chart how artistic or scientific "progress" is made throughout large swaths of time, you can understand how there are aspects of linearity still at play when one talks about time.  There must be aspects of time that are cyclical and other aspects that are linear. 

Furthermore, can we talk about aspects of existence that are impervious to time?  I like the idea of a mission, that can't exactly be put into words, that has been transmitted throughout the ages although expressed differently by the rare geniuses and wise leaders throughout history.  This mission is our Destiny, and the era we live in is our Fate.

Metal / The benevolent side of metal
« on: June 22, 2012, 01:35:09 PM »
Belief in Hell and supernatural punishment across nations seems to predict lower crime rates.

http://phys.org/news/2012-06-belief-hell-international-crime.html

Metal is the modern cultural artifact that serves this role while Christianity wanes.  The message of metal is not an excuse for a reckless lifestyle, it is a warning that if man crosses certain boundaries he can expect eternal torment.

Chasm / Cioran
« on: April 25, 2012, 03:20:07 PM »
I'm actually not all that familiar with him, but I read something about him by Tom Sunic the other day and it got me thinking how metal he is.  Like the Cathars (who Baudrillard has also claimed affinity to), he says that people should weep and moan when a baby is born, and celebrate when they have died.  I suppose this is getting at the idea that non-existence is the more natural and "default" state and life is the aberration and interruption.

Two good quotes from him were:  "If it wasn't for the possibility of suicide, I would have killed myself years ago" and "A millenia of war consolidated the West and a century of psychoanalysis tore it to shreds!"  Pretty funny guy, actually.

Anyway, from what I understand of him, his whole "backwards" philosophy makes a lot of sense to me.

A.  I started a request thread so we don't have to bump artist threads.  Please use it wisely and respectfully.

B.  We can always use help.  Especially with mainstays of Classical, Metal, Ambient.  See here

C.  Although finding other uploads and posting them in audiofile is nice, uploading to your own Mediafire account is probably superior.  All my uploads on Mediafire are still there and active thus far.  So, your own uploads are preferable for longevity.

D.  If you don't have a physical copy of a CD to rip and upload, you can always find an upload already out there, download it, then re-upload that rar or zip file to your Mediafie account and that would work just as well.

Feel free to PM me with anything regarding audiofile.

Thanks nillas

Let's try a requests thread and see how it goes.

If you fulfill a request, please put the link in the appropriate Artist thread.  If it requires a new Artist thread, start a new thread.  See FAQ

Please format everything according to FAQ
