Old One

I have had a most intriguing meeting with the Old One, last Samhain. It must have been the most inspiring banquet I have ever attended.

A dinner fit for a wise King and the hardened souls of infinite light…

Groupies

I suppose ever since Christian Vikerness had a handful of teenage girl trolling his trials back in the 90s, there have been groupies, as is every other imaginable banality, in black metal. 

No. This isn’t another rant. 

I have always thought of groupies as weak minded, good for nothing but exploitation, type of shit. I guess, looking back at that black metal bassist, ushered to the gates of death by his own fan, for supposedly not being truly evil, groupies can also, from time to time, be an interesting catharsis couldn’t they? 

Tasty Unknowns (Pt.2)

Talking about hearing unusual and damn good music, I think I might have acquired a taste for less-mainstream music ever since listening to some 60s and 70s psychedelic Progressive/Hard Rock stuffs. This was way before I start getting acquainted with all the Heavy Metal and NWOBHM stuffs (not to mention the underground extremities).

I’ve always remembered the first uncanny psychedelic Hard Rock album I heard. It was Germany’s Lucifer’s Friend self titled, debut album, with the two “men-in-black” looking weirdoes on the front cover.

The feeling I get on that first listening, with such synthesizer-crazy songs like “Ride In The Sky” and “Satyr’s Dance”, is just priceless.

Lucifer’s debut (1970).
