Metal / Re: Cut Your Flesh And Worship Satan?
« Last post by Jim Necroslaughter 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.

"It just mimics so well a natural hand that it really just reminds me of before the accident, how I would have done things," she added. "I never thought I would actually be able to hold a knife and cut something. That's just incredible."
The "i-limb ultra revolution" hands can cost up to $120,000 each, said a spokesman for manufacturer Touch Bionics. Copeland demonstrated the prosthetic hands at the firm's office in Hilliard, Ohio, showing how hand positions can also be remotely set with an iPad application using a blue-tooth connection. The "bioism" software can also be downloaded to an iPhone and iPod, the spokesman said.

Metal / Re: Cut Your Flesh And Worship Satan?
« Last post by trystero on May 18, 2013, 11:32:14 AM »My take: Lyrics are not standalone statements, but provide context for the music. Consider the experience in its totality. The music itself is full of life (creativity) despite the topic. It finds its own meaning and purpose in the midst of apparent purposelessness. Immanent and transcendent existence is worth worship, even in its darkness.
I hope you die should not be rephrased as `hi guys, this is MkM and I hope you die`. Release from the fear of death, release from arbitrary value and its replacement with a feral spirit may be considered the goal in the case of Antaeus (though it later turned in on itself and became parody like lesser black metal that attempts this). To express it, the artist must take it as literally as possible. If it is not serious, the expression cannot be genuine. That does not mean the artist personally advocates these actions as an overall life philosophy; take it literally but not in a reductive sense.
Where is the reverence for MkM though? CYFAWS is a good album, but it doesnt touch the best of the best. Personally I think this stuff does toe the line, but does it advocate destruction and hatred for their own sake? Do the lads from Birth A.D. really want to kill everybody?
I dont understand what you mean by `we must claim it shares the same values we do`. Could you elaborate on that? Also, thank you for making a substantial post about metal music, I was beginning to miss this

If you are a generally retiring, introverted person (like me), it can be difficult to motivate oneself to share their inner self. This place has never had social types as posters except as a minority. All INTJs, INTPs etc.
