Boris.
This japanese power trio is probably most well known for the collaboration with Sunn0))) on the absolutely massive Altar album, one of last years best releases. Incorporating all the styles we all should obey and believe in – drone, doom, noise, psychedelia, shoegaze, ambient, metal and pure rock’n’roll meltdown – they are on my worship list forever.
They’ve released tons of tracks on tons of albums and EP’s with and without additional musicians and I haven’t had the time to listen to them all, but one of my favourite songs is definitely Evil Wave Form. Cheesy song title, but what the hell… The music speaks in tounges, and that’s what matters. This is raw blasting doom on the verge of destruction.
Download it here (31 Mb), and please, pretty please with sugar on top: LISTEN TO THIS LOUD ON A GOOD STEREO SYSTEM. Your worthless MySpaceymobilephonelike stupid little computer speakers won’t do, you dumb ass borninthe80’s-90’s new school freak with no sense of direction.

Here’s a breakdown of the song’s most vital parts:

00:00:00 …begin…
00:00:14 …now you know this is going to be something special…monotony prevails…
00:01:42 …the march of doom has begun…slow…gentle…
00:03:28 …breakdown… tension builds…
00:04:25 …warfare begins…slow, harsh…darkness arise…distortion to hell…
00:05:11 …hold up and analyze…
00:05:17 …WAAAH!!…your soul is being destroyed…your face begins to melt…
00:05:38 …hail Black Sabbath…turn up the volume…crushing power…
00:06:33 …brains collapse…families die…enter evil wave form…
00:07:06 …tune in to psychedelia…
00:08:00 …it kicks in for real…noisy wave form…
00:08:30 …crushing riff…
00:08:40 …drifting into ambience…coughing in the background…exhaustion…
00:09:37 …ambience alone…holy monotony…
00:12:30 …disappearances…
00:13:19 …FUCK!! …the return of darkness and evil…you shit your pants and worship once more…
00:13:50 …we will rock your sorry ass…
00:14:07 …guitars so damned distorted and weird it starts to transform into noise…the horror!
00:15:10 …drenched in filth…abyssic bass line…
00:15:24 …BAM!!…crushing your skull again…
00:15:30 …guitar frenzy…Satan’s sirens…
00:16:00 …transformation into blackened noise again…melting riffs…
00:16:19 …psychedelic chaos…
00:16:28 …the song of sirens…
00:16:48 …hail Jimi Hendrix…
00:17:22 …the ending is near…infernal attack…drop out…
00:17:57 …noise…mayhem…worship…
00:18:30 …shrieking guitars…insanity’s dawn…
00:19:04 …breakdown…evil wave form…turn up the volume…kill the christians…and then you die…
00:19:40 … end…

Evil Wave Form was released on the Dronevil – Final – double cd on Inoxia Records (2006).

>Eldreomsorgen i Øvre Kågedalen

>Owners and readers of the paper edition of Ny Moral will probably recognize the cover illustration of the Norwegian translation of Nikanor Teratologen’s fantastic text Äldreomsorgen i Övre Kågedalen (2007, Damm Förlag (originally published by Norstedts Förlag 1992)). Yes indeed, it’s Andreas Kalliaridis’ awesome art right there, which he made exclusively for Ny Moral back in 2004. Happy time!
I consider Äldreomsorgen i Övre Kågedalen to be one of the very best Swedish books ever written, and now when it’s available in Norwegian translated by Stig Sæterbakken… wow, that’s just amazing. “Perleporten skal knuses!”
Go get it here. The Swedish version can be found here.

>Nietzsche – Morality as anti-nature

All passions have a phase when they are merely disastrous, when they drag down their victim with the weight of stupidity — and a later, very much later phase when they wed the spirit, when they “spiritualize” themselves. Formerly, in view of the element of stupidity in passion, war was declared on passion itself, its destruction was plotted; all the old moral monsters are agreed on this: il faut tuer les passions (“One must kill the passions”). The most famous formula for this is to be found in the New Testament, in that Sermon on the Mount, where, incidentally, things are by no means looked at from a height. There it is said, for example, with particular reference to sexuality: “If thy eye offend thee, pluck it out.” Fortunately, no Christian acts in accordance with this precept. Destroying the passions and cravings, merely as a preventive measure against their stupidity and the unpleasant consequences of this stupidity — today this itself strikes us as merely another acute form of stupidity. We no longer admire dentists who “pluck out” teeth so that they will not hurt any more.
To be fair, it should be admitted, however, that on the ground out of which Christianity grew, the concept of the “spiritualization of passion” could never have been formed. After all, the first church, as is well known, fought against the “intelligent” in favor of the “poor in spirit.” How could one expect from it an intelligent war against passion? The church fights passion with excision in every sense: its practice, its “cure,” is castratism. It never asks: “How can one spiritualize, beautify, deify a craving?” It has at all times laid the stress of discipline on extirpation (of sensuality, of pride, of the lust to rule, of avarice, of vengefulness). But an attack on the roots of passion means an attack on the roots of life: the practice of the church is hostile to life.

From Twilight of The Idols (1889).

The world spent 1,3 trillion dollars on military expenses in 2006. Half of that sum was American.
Hans Blix

One trillion dollars = one million million dollars = 1 000 000 000 000 dollars.
That’s a lot of fucking money being spent on killing a lot of fucking people in the name of a fucking God.
And that massive pile of blood-drenched dollars is growing every minute.
Yet some say we’re heading for a bright future. Well… I simply do not agree with your bullshit, baby.

>Top Gear and the caravan holiday

Leave a comment

>You know about Top Gear? I hadn’t even heard about that show until I stumbled upon these clips on YouTube a couple of days ago, but apparently there’s millions of trillions watching it, and it’s one of the most pirated shows ever. I never watch TV, so maybe that’s why I’m left in the cold when it comes to such high quality stuff as Top Gear.
Mind you, I have seen nothing but these three clips, so I might be totally out of it here, but I found them really funny. Three old goofballs trying to pimp their rides. So very much anti-bling-bling-MTV I just had to like it.
And I can relate to that evil shit that is caravan holidays as well. I was born and bred in a trailer park. Well, not really, but I’ve sure spent my fair deal of darkness on the road and in them bloody caravans. I think I hated every minute. The worst thing was going abroad and missing Rockbox.

Check these clips from start to finish, and then tell me I’m wierd. I find them funny. Am I getting old?

>These videos have been floating around on YouTube for a while now, and they are really too good to be missed. This StSanders fella who makes these “shreds”-videos is a genius at what he does. I still laugh my ass off to the Metallica video, and I’ve watched it twenty times already.

Enjoy!

>Ahmadinejad and honesty

Leave a comment

What will Ahmadinejad’s outspokenness ultimately lead to? I must say I’m very fascinated with what he has to say. I whole heartily agree with his deep critique against Zionism, and his personal letter to Bush was just… wow! What at least seems to be honesty is something rarely shown in politics today. Perhaps I’m just misguided… Time shall tell.

Until then, feel free to read this interview and his letter to Bush, and by all means, please watch this interview (please bear with the embarrassing translator idiot and his fake ass broken English, that’s of course just them false Americans deliberately trying to make Ahmadinejad look stupid):



Ahmadinejad on the political culture surrounding the Holocaust:
(please notice that they don’t make fun of his language in this clip)



…and again:
(and notice, he clearly emphasizes: “I am not saying that it didn’t happen at all”)


The Western governments that carry the standard of secularism, anti-religion, and lack of respect for the rights of the peoples, and for the followers of all Abrahamic religions consider themselves the defense of the Zionist regime to be the most sacred value in the world. Zionism and the existence of the Zionist regime are so important to them that they do not even allow the raising of questions about the preparations and pretexts that led to the establishment of this regime.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Channel 1, Iranian TV, on October 6, 2007
