The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Television, The Drug Of The Nation
A quarter century later, it's truer than ever. A real masterpiece of conscious hip-hop, with killer lyrics.
The song was originally from their former band, The Beatnigs, dating back to 1988, whereas this version dates from 1991/1992.

Gast Bouschet & Nadine Hilbert
I went to Luxembourg for Christmas and stayed there a few days, visiting the town (Vauban fortifications) and its museums (they really got great museums). This is where I met the astonishing works of Gast Bouschet and Nadine Hilbert.
In the MUDAM, there was their installation for the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 2009 Venice Biennale, called "Collision Zone", depicting the gloomy zones of the Mediterranean area, where two worlds collide, Africa and its (illegal) immigrants, and the "fortress Europe" with its more and more restrictive politics about immigration.

In the Casino Luxembourg there was just an installation left, called "Unground". I immediately felt their distinctive mark, and the sound was also something I thought I knew but didn't recognize at first. I learnt shortly after that it was a collaboration with Jason Van Gulick and Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate, Thorr's Hammer...)! It was made over a nearly two year period after the eruption of the icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull in 2010. The videos range from the London's City, where the new sorcerers (i.e. bankers, traders etc...) make their black rituals, to the frozen landscapes of Iceland where the ice turned black because of the volcano's ashes. The music sounds like a chthonic ritual, the video looks like it was taken through the eyes of an antediluvian creature... Astounding, mesmerizing, frightening... mandatory! Note that there will be a free live show with Jason Van Gulick and Stephen O'Malley the 4th of January, 2013.

Wagner - Siegfried's Funeral March
Conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler, the great conductor of the 3rd Reich (he choose to stay in Germany at the time, although he was not a nazi himself).
The first time I heard Wagner conducted by him, it was like... well... just listen and you'll know.

Arnold Böcklin
Arnold Böcklin was a Swiss symbolist painter of the 19th century.
Wikipedia
WikiPaintings
Influenced by Romanticism his painting is symbolist with mythological subjects often overlapping with the Pre-Raphaelites. His pictures portray mythological, fantastical figures along classical architecture constructions (often revealing an obsession with death) creating a strange, fantasy world.
The best known of his paintings, "The Isle Of The Dead" (of which there were 5 versions), inspired many other artists : H.R. Giger (also Swiss) did two paintings of it in hommage to Böcklin, Rachmaninoff wrote a symphonic poem (Op.29) about it...

Stagnant Waters is an international project featuring Zweizz (Fleurety, Umoral, ex-Dødheimsgard) on vocals and some french dudes from Normandy. Totally insane and psychedelic avant-garde/industrial black metal, probably some of the best shit released in the genre since Dodheimsgard's masterpiece 666 International. Check them out and get their album at Adversum records.

Old School Sundays - Part III
This week's choice for the old school sundays goes to the legendary proto-death metal band Pentagram from Chile (not to be confused with the american doom metal pionners of the same name). We bring you right back to the glorious days of mid-80's extreme metal with a classic song from their first demo (recorded in 1986 and released early '87). This one is for the die hards, I'm talking early Sepultura, Possessed, Onslaught, Necrovore, Poison (Ger) and all that old school shit. Raise the horns bitches!!!

Monsù Desiderio
Behind the pseudonym Monsù Desiderio there are in fact two painters from the 17th century, François de Nomé (~1592 - ~1623) and Didier Barra (~1590 - ~1656), both originally from Metz, France, and installed in Naples, Italy.
Their work, enigmatic and surprising (ruins, cataclysms, fantastic architectures...), has multiple sources of inspiration (Antic Rome, Ancient Testament, New Testament, Naples...)
They were considered by André Breton as precursors of surrealism.

Begotten / Din Of Celestial Birds
Begotten (1991)
"The story opens with a robed, profusely bleeding "God" disemboweling
himself, with the act ultimately ending in his death. A woman, Mother
Earth, emerges from his remains, arouses the body, and impregnates
herself with his semen." (More...)
Din Of Celestial Birds (2006)
"The film deals with the concept of evolution as well as the birth of consciousness." (More...)
Directed by Edmund Elias Merhige, best known to mainstream audiences for "Shadow Of The Vampire" (2000), "Suspect Zero" (2004), and Marilyn Manson's "Cryptorchid" and "Antichrist Superstar" music videos.

The Infamous Gehenna - Live in NYC 2012
Next level shit here. This is a good quality live clip from Gehenna, recorded at The Acheron in NYC during their 2012 east coast tour. If you're into extreme music and never heard of this band you're a total idiot, so stop what you're doing right now and go buy their records. Seriously, they're the best band ever. Bow down before the seven crowns.

Aksumite
Aksumite are a raw black metal/punk duo from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Despite being firmly rooted in raw black metal these folks manage to sound different and more interesting than most bands in the genre. Really primitive and brutal stuff with pretty catchy riffs and a good dose of hardcore punk. Also, the lyrics deal with ancient african religions and the kingdom of Aksum (modern day Ethiopia), how original is that for a black metal band? Check out their label Colloquial Sound Recordings, most of their stuff is highly recommended.
