Welcome beautiful rec! Just downloaded the album and listened to it once... I completely agree with you. I bought the album a little while ago and I'm hooked! Bye

You’re not wrong! I’m looking forward to the date of August 8th right at Velvet for a de-meeting. I’ll be in Italy during that time. Bye!

Like the perfectly written review of clouddead... maybe you're one of the best on the site in terms of language skills and expressiveness, congratulations. However, we don’t share the same tastes... better this way, or they might think I'm gay! I admit I don’t know them well, but the name itself encapsulates everything I hate about those who make post-rock (in Italy and not abroad, meaning I think there's an enormous dose of arrogance, a sense of being "truly" alternative, and a self-indulgent sophistication that leads (always in my opinion) to a complete lack of communicativeness... yes, in short cold music.
I reiterate that this is my general impression of the scene, partially mediated by my limited and shallow knowledge... but what can I do, they really get on my nerves!
Anyway, well done, well done and once again well done. Bye.

Oh come on, I was there too! I had just graduated and rushed over from home (for me, Velvet is about an hour's drive on the highway). I agree that the acoustics at Velvet are terrible... yet I wonder how it is that when Motorpsycho play, everything sounds perfect... anyway, the show was so much fun, and I realized how out of his mind Wayne Coyne is... when he threw that fake blood in people's faces, it was pretty chilling... anyway, I liked the way they contrasted the childishness of the puppets (remember the girls in animal costumes dancing behind the band?) with scenes of ultra violence on the screens. Even though it wasn't one of the best concerts I've seen, it was definitely the strangest I’ve ever attended. Bye!

Just to go against the grain, I can tell you that I don't see anything wrong in being what you call "the periphery of the world." Because maybe when you're in the nerve centers of this world (like me in Tokyo), you realize they're not that great after all... In short, I consider having good social relationships in a provincial setting to be better than the absence of them in a place full of "cool" things to do. Of course, that's just my perspective.
Marduk Opus Nocturne
Voto:
Let's be clear, I’m not attacking "metalheads," Fallen writes well and there's no denying that. Just think that I was quite a metal follower in my adolescence and I spent a year with a friend who only listened to Marduk, Celtic Frost, Immortal, and similar bands. Of course, this genre isn’t for me, but my criticism was detached from the music. Bye.
Outrageous Cherry Supernatural Equinox

even out there in the dark is on par with this... on top of that, there's the final song which is a tribute (successfully done, by the way) to Interstellar Overdrive. Bye
Marduk Opus Nocturne
Voto:
I'm sorry, I know these things because I studied Eastern languages for 7 years, and my focus was precisely on philosophical and religious topics... and I took 4 exams on Buddhism... in short, I'm not making anything up.

Response for altroche 1 and 2. What you mention is true, but it is a practice much older than the 1400s and beyond. In fact, Kukai, a Buddhist monk from the 8th century AD, learned such practices in China, referred to as the so-called left-hand path of Buddhism, which can generally be defined as Tantrism. In Japan, it became known as Shingon. Kukai cannot have taught such practices before his journey to China around the mid-8th century. Anyway, the story of self-mummification is real, and there are many monks in Japan who have succeeded (remaining mummified, intact, and practically dehydrated—essentially a form of pre-mortem mummification). Kukai himself is believed to have self-mummified in a cave near Mount Koya, the headquarters of the Shingon branch of Japanese Buddhism. In this cave, he awaits the end of the mappo jidai, or the coming of Maitreya, the Buddha who will arrive at the end of the last Buddhist era to lead people to the western paradise. Anyway, I recommend an interesting book by my university professor called "Il corpo e il Paradiso," by Massimo Raveri, Marsilio editions, Venice, which discusses self-mummification in Japan.
I finish this lengthy intervention with a question: But what the hell does this have to do with the Necronomicon? Would this be evidence of the existence of Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth (or however the hell it's spelled), the Cthonian beings and so on? Guys, I’ve played a lot of the Cthulhu RPG too, but to see signs of the existence of ancient civilizations before the first human cultures is a bit laughable, don’t you think?
