Metal / Re: Metal Score Project
« on: June 09, 2013, 03:23:19 PM »
Ha! This stuff is awesome, my favorite is Unsilent Storms in the North Abyss.
They sound right to me so far.
What songs are these from? They sound familiar but I can't place them.
I really want this effort to revive itself, so here's 2 songs I've started working on. They're both quite short, but at least it's something. Any feedback is welcome; at this point I really have no clue what I'm doing.
Ea, Lord of the Depths: http://www.mediafire.com/?5fcfz6do8a17wry
Blood Shall be Spilled: http://www.mediafire.com/?5ierk5tgcecolv6
They sound right to me so far.
2 more samples I've made, hopefully they'll show a bit of progression from the last ones I posted.
Windows (Intro) - http://www.mediafire.com/?5z2taqugnghtjjd
Unhallowed - http://www.mediafire.com/?btkdcrh18elt4zi

Chasm / Re: Creating a new religion
« on: June 05, 2013, 01:45:21 PM »religions never help us, even the pagans, they give a great philosofy, but isn't really good for us, first, because this give a false expectancy to the human, second, because you are creating a god, this isn't rpg
What do you mean by false expectancy? What is a "true expectancy?"
If "this" (I assume you mean life) isn't an RPG, than what is this? I think it's a great simile, myself. Reality is very much like a role playing game.

The plenitude that is Greek and Nordic mythology must be integrated and I think the connection between hunger and God and food and religion is apt. If you want to make something less generic, I believe you do have to move toward anthropomorphizing and naming the Gods. I like the Tao as much as the next guy but there is something about it and similar abstract discourses about the nature of reality that does not lend itself to an easy integration for everyday life.

Chasm / Re: An important book
« on: June 02, 2013, 12:43:31 PM »I plan to read Aldous Huxley - The Perennial Philosophy. Is it good, difficult to read? I find most philosophy goes way overboard for me.You should definitely read it, it's a little difficult but if you get to a part you don't understand, just keep moving and you will probably understand it in a different passage. The book kind of explains the same thing over and over in slightly different ways, so if you don't get it the one way, you'll get it the other way. I also have a love/hate relationship with hardcore philosophy but this is not like the insanely technical philosophy that goes to incredible lengths in an attempt to be perfectly precise.

Without a doubt the most important book for me was this book of Greek mythology. It's one of the first books I recall reading and the illustrations are superb. This is probably why I think the best way to honor reality is to mythologize it.

Metal / Re: Buzum: SOL AUSTAN, MANI VESTAN
« on: May 31, 2013, 04:08:00 PM »This has been on youtube all week and we are not talking about it or even listening to it. I suppose after the last couple of albums Vikernes has become irrelevant.
Is there any decent band remaining besides Graveland?
A new Graveland album is to be released in June according to graveland.org !
I heard about the new Graveland, too - Thunderbolt of the Gods! Here's a really really long, new interview with Graveland / Lord Wind.

Not too sure about other recommendations but there is definitely something "twinkly" about North From Here! This might be a bit of a stretch but Sacramentum's 2 death metal albums after Far Away from the Sun might be interesting to compare. Don't hold me to that I haven't listened to them in a while, they might not be as twinkly as North From Here.

« on: May 25, 2013, 06:06:37 PM »Amorphis - Privilege of Evil.
This is better than I anticipated, thank you for the recommendation. I had never heard this, just going off what else I had heard from Amorphis - it actually is very competent death metal in a darker version of the style Demigod is now remembered for.
I dig the "spooky" organ. If I remember my metal lore correctly this was supposed to be Amorphis' half of a split with Incantation, but for whatever reason it never materialized. The other band not mentioned yet is Sentenced. For some reason I liken North From Here to Therion - Beyond Sanctorum.

I believe he wrote The Three Musketeers, right? Alexander Dumbass. Ah, excuse me that was Alexandre Dumas!

Good call, sometimes it seems bands can't get it together for an entire album, but if you put some of their odds and ends side by side you can still get the same effect e.g. Adramelech and also Imprecation (although not Finnish) is a good example. Maybe instead of choose your own adventure books, this is create your own album, the band gives you the material and you make the album and the final cuts. Also Amorphis - Privilege of Evil.

Metal / Re: Cut Your Flesh And Worship Satan?
« on: May 18, 2013, 03:26:43 PM »
I think the idea behind CYFAWS/mutilation/destruction/I hope you die' is like Nietzsche's amor fati which basically means love your fate or embrace your fate. It means in the final analysis you cannot resist forever and you must ultimately submit to fate, so mutilate your resistance to this, destroy it, cut it, slash it and die. It's like if you've ever practiced on something for a long time, then the time comes for the official performance, so to speak, at that point it's show time and you submit to fate, trust your practice, and let the chips fall where they may.
