Tortuga

Mercyful Fate - Melissa

The parts where I had to shut my eyes was the maggot/beetles crawling around the sculls, when they shoot the jaguard, and when they rape that poor tribal woman. Apart from the sickening scenes, I have actually reflected a lot about that movie the last couple of days: I think that one of the reasons why it is so grim is that you are forced to consider who are the real primitives (primitives such as in bad primitives...remember the movie is from the early 1980's). Those white movie makers were just asking for trouble! But despite all the refelction...I am not going to see it again.

Egypt - Mercyful Fate

I have never gotten...adds randomly Requiem...them live. But yeah...Requiem...The League seem like a great...Requiem...band. But hell yeah...Requiem...I would walk through knee deep snow for two eyes to see The League. Sorry for all this Requiem stuff...but some here apparently think that I should tagg/mention his name...Requiem. Now that sounds like a great idea Next purhace will be some Salem's Lott...intersting to see what I will make of those covers

Virgin Sin - Skinned alive

When it comes to movies, I have got to admit that I have got a really weak girly stomach!!!! Saw a gore/splatter-what-have-you movie today, which makes it like the third one I have ever seen full lenght in all my life....and my dinner almost came up again!!! I can understand the Native Americans being pissed off at the so called civilized middle class universty grads comming in to their homeland and acting like complete bastards...by all means, feel free to kill and devour them...I would have done the same. But the corpses with the maggots and beetles...eeeewwww, yuuuccckkk I think it is great that you can watch Cannibal Holocaust for free on Youtube, but that it the last time that I am pressing on that link! Aside from that: I am mad about Hammer House of Horror...like completely insane!!!!! But still those fantastic productions, do not top Bela Lugosi as Dracula!!!!!!

Just some old shyte with Anti Nowhere League remastered and recorded in CD format. CD box gone missing though...last seen in the rubbish bin

No, I believe it is the vibrations of the sound which makes the patterns. Here is a link to a Youtube vid (sorry cannot embed the vid): Vibration test I think that listening to a single vibration would become extremely boring in the long run, no matter how high it is *lol* It is however proven that listening to heavy metal makes you less prone to stress, depressions, and anxiety...sounds healthy enough to me

Computer world - Black Uniforms

The link gives a hint, but only a hint...it seems a bit too hippy smug for me mentioned it any further. But as for the sugar/salt test: Take one big loudspeaker, and stand it one one of it sides...sprinkle some table salt or sugar on the surface. Turn up the bass and see what happens...repeat with the treble. What you will see is sound/vibrations...and yes, all sound is vibrations...going visual!

Granted, I have never tried the salt/sugar vibration test on any of my loud speakers while listening to metal, but it would not suprise me one bit if it is...high vibrational. Allmost all types of metal energizes me, inspires me, sets of thoughts in my mind resulting in interesting projects and ideas. Low vibrations on the other hand leaves you mind dumbed in the best of cases...depressed or physicall ill in the worst. So high vibrations it is! And then there is the concept that metal is classical music gone electrical: I understand why people say that. I sense the same high vibrations in a lot of classical music, too. But now I am on the brink of getting all philosphical...over and out

Nightwish - Over the hills and far away

Read it in some interview with Dio that it was Ronnie's Italian grandmother who first introduced him to the horned up sign: it is to put it pure and simple a ward against the devil. Which means that when ever you do the horned up sign against anyone you are claiming them to be evil and trying to protect yourself...makes you feel like a bit of a twat when especially using it against yourself, especially if you are pagan such as yours truly. But alas...things, terms, and imperetations change over time: once the word "kaelling" or "kaerring" in Scandinavien meant "little beloved woman" now it means...bitch! And once almost bared female breasts were socially acceptable, while a woman's ancles could make any man blush. So who knows, perhaps horns up has really changed from "uh, oh...I am scared. Jesus, please protect me" to "Hell yeah, rock n roll". As long as no one mentions NWO and Alex Jones, then all is well.

I am flattered

I agree! She was a powerfull, creative, beautiful...and a pioneer!!! I remember when interviewing her she told me how fellow metal heads had laughed at them when they played live for being an all-girl band and how everybody refused to take them seriously...but that did not make them sit back down and be good and docile little women. Tristessa breathed for metal!!!!!!!!!

Astarte has been one of my favorite BM bands since 1997...however I am sorry to tell you all that Tristessa died three years ago from complications due to her previous battle against leukemia. Yeah, I know...I hate cancer, too....

But Sweeties...the lyrics are all online these days. So don't get yer knickers in twist

A black brocade 12 steel boned full victorian corset with the logo on the front embroided with silver thread will do nicely, thank you...I expect to be able to purchase it...say a week from now in a very near future webshop

The bottom one is...AMAZING! If I wore t-shirts...which I don't...but if I did, then I would have stolen that logo by now and rushed down to the print shop

Naaah, I just keep the disc *smiles insanely* Scary, isen't it

I never keep receipts!!! I have read that the thermal paper that they are printed on can cause cancer - love music, but the cancer bit scares me! As for paper and CD's: Am I the only one who stores their CD's in a weird way????? At first glance in my flat, you would not nknow that I am a music lover, because there is no visible CD collection!!!! I take my CD's out of the plastic case (and recycle the plastic), put them in a paper case with the band name and title written in runes...and store the CD in a very plain looking file box together with all my other CD's...the file box is the bottom one of four standing on my desk! I am very possive about my playlist...no one and I mean no one rules my CD collection and Hi-fi except for your truly...I decide what CD's are to be played (See, told you that I am possesive) *lol* But as for hiding them...who knows, it might have some deeper psychological meaning or that I am just a flipping eccentric

Dio - Holy Diver

I prefere buying CD's directly from a band's shops: I might be naive, but I have got a feeling that the bands get more money for their hard work that way, then if the purchase has to go through a middle man. But when purchasing directly from a band is not an option, then it is either eBay and always " Buy now"...I just never understood the thrill of bidding and besides, I want the CD as fast as possible or a Swedish online music shop called Bengans.

This might sound weird, but unless I have to work creatively or read, then I love listening to music! I do not know why but if I try listening to music while drawing or reading then my brain just short cuts!!!! Listening to music prior to this is however almost a must. But I just cannot be in the realm of Elfquest and in Asgaard at the same time!!!!!

Not a recent death as such, but sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday that I spoke to her for the first time... Tristessa from Astarte ( Maria Kolokouri ) died on August 10th 2014 from complications related to leukemia. We can all talk about how terrible cancer is, but I would rather tell how Tristessa was when she was alive!m I got in touch with her after having bought the debut CD from Astarte and then contacting her to request an interview, after having written a review for a Danish underground music magazine called Metal Poisoning. She wrote back sending me a huge envolope with what seemed like a zillion flyers for obscure Greek black metal bands, a copy of their second album, a few post cards with even more obscure black metal bands, a very freindly hand written letter including an e-mail adress where I could contact her to arrange a time for a phone interview. Damn, I miss the late 90's early 2000's...these days it would just be a short e-mail reply and a few links What had really taken me by surprise when listening to Astarte for the very first time was how that girl could....GROWL!!!! She was bloody amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What took me by an even bigger surprise was how gentle and girly she sounded on the phone...I had expected a raspy butch voice and what did I hear??? A little girl voice...now that is what I call talent!!!!! And she was the sweetest person imaginable...first off she was thrilled that anyone could even be bothered to take her and her band seriously, second off she knew her metal!!!! And thirdly she had a cracking sense of humour: after the actual interview had ended we talked a while longer about goddesses, European paganism, and those bloody sodding men in the metal scene...who were so sodding bloody stubborn and old fashioned to not give girl bands a decent chance and what the bloody hell we felt like doing to them (cudos to you for counting how many times I have written "bloody" so far) including strapping Sakis (Rotting Christ) to a wall using bondage gear...and having one hell of a laugh about it Years later I found her on Myspace, we greeted and added eacother on our freinds list...and mourned together when Ronnie James Dio died. I miss her.....
