This is the first year where I didn't struggle to reach my 52 book goal at all, only some of which is thanks to the Lovecraft marathon. I also read a ton of short sci-fi stories early in the year for an online class I took (which is also why there are so many sci-fi novels in the beginning of the year) and feel much more knowledgeable in the genre even though I'm still not very well read in it. I will be taking a fantasy course next year to what I assume will be similar effect.

It's still hard to read non-audiobooks, made worse this year by a promotion at work that means I have much less free time overall but still a fair deal of time for audiobooks while working with my hands. My (I don't post it) movie list suffered similarly, with this being the first year in a while I didn't hit my movie target. Not discussed: I read various comics this year! Standouts: Chainsaw Man Part 1, the first volume of Pluto, Fun Home, the fifth volume of Phoenix, Look Back

Goals for next year: more foreign policy reading, more literary fiction, write something of my own, ohgodthesearethesamegoalsaslastyearpleasetellmeI'mnotstagnating

Finland Death-Doomers LURK Turn Loose “Infidel” from Fourth LP ‘Aegis’

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

Artwork by Paolo Girardi

The marriage between doom and death metal was inevitable, but its long life was not. Yet here we are more than three decades hence and the subgenre still thrives. A band that's been active at least half of that time is Tampere's LURK, active since 2008 and now with four full-length records to their name. The first three LPs came together in steady succession: Lurk in 2012, Kaldera in 2014, and Fringe in 2016 (reviewed here). While no explanation has been offered for the recording silence that ensued, I was nevertheless delighted to learn of a new offering: 'Aegis' (2023).

The title more than hints at the shield carried by Zeus and Athena, which the Iliad says "produced a sound as from myriad roaring dragons." There is, in fact, a dragon on the album cover made up of warriors, demons, and demented souls. Each of the seven tracks play wonderfully to this horrifically beautiful and detailed painting, though it is not (to my knowledge) intended to be programmatic.

"Cursed!" the dread voice of K. Koskinen cries out, as the new single "Infidel" lumbers. It's a creepy number, made all the more so by A. Pulkkinen's synthesizer. His guitar leads are forlorn and searching, whilst E. Nurmi's bass is a warm consolation. Drummer K. Nurmi keeps things sailing along smoothly, making the song feel like a vessel adrift on the river Styx. This is now the 4th single ahead of the record's imminent release.

Lurk's new album Aegis is morbid, bruising, and maudlin, yet robust and sustaining throughout -- at times even tranquil. Look for it on Transcending Obscurity Records in digital and compact disc formats this Friday, April 7th (pre-order here). Stick it on a playlist with Serpentine Path, Fange, and Cult of Occult.

Give ear...

LISTEN: Lurk - "Infidel"

SOME BUZZ

Finnish band Lurk return with their unique brand of slow, dreamy, unpredictable and vile sludge/doom to confound and enthrall listeners all over again. The deceptively catchy and entrancing quality of the music has been honed and the music slithers in its inimitable way, progressing in directions not easy to ascertain.

The music itself is a blend of multiple subgenres and is far too evolved now for the influences to be clearly identified. The band upholds this singular sound throughout the album and still manages to give each of the seven songs their own identity. Without a perceptible disruption of momentum, they all succeed in shifting the mood their own way, adding variations and conveying a wide range of emotions.

For an album that may seem innocuous, it will leave you emotionally vulnerable by the end of it all. For fans of Altar of Betelgeuse, Eibon, Usnea, Subterraen, Adramelech, Fleshpress.

Kushner ties together music from across global history as a means of reaching altered states. This is something I think about a lot, and that comes up across the entirety of my practice. To whit:

The third path is the Path of Rhythm. This includes drumming, dancing, or any repetitive rhythmic motions. Drums and rhythm are an important part of northern-tradition shamanism; while there is little reference to them in the "lore-era" medieval writings, their neighbors the Saami use drums to this day. Dancing - wildly or just repetitively - has been used by shamans all over the world as a way to achieve altered states, and some believe that if the origin of the word "seidhr" actually means "seething", then it might refer to a form of deliberate rhythmic shaking used for the same purpose.

- Raven Kaldera

as well as:

O daimon! O Bakkhos! Take me somewhere ruled by the law of desire where we can dance you and dance you and never tire.

- Euripides, Anne Carson tr.

The radio piece covers klezmer, Sufi, gamelan, and gospel music, vodou drumming, the grateful dead, and modern trance electronica, as well as some of the ritualistic practices that go along with each method of alteration. Recommended listening.

Kaldera: Μια παρέα φίλων με κοινή αγάπη για τη μουσική

Κάπου στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του '90 τέσσερις μουσικοί, άγνωστοι μέχρι τότε μεταξύ τους, βρίσκονταν σε σκηνές του ελληνόφωνου rock . Σήμερα αυτοί οι τέσσερις άνθρωποι αποτελούν μια παρέα φίλων και φυσικά... τους Kaldera! Λίγους μήνες μετά την ψηφιακή κυκλοφορία του δίσκου τους «Το Πλήρωμα του Χρόνου» μάς συστήνονται: Οι Kaldera ξεκίνησαν ….. Οι ρίζες της μπάντας Κaldera βρίσκονται στις αρχές του 2010, όταν ο Γιάννης και ο Βασίλης μαζί με άλλους 2 μουσικούς σχημάτισαν τους RiverGroove και άρχισαν να δουλεύουν πάνω σε καινούργια τραγούδια. Μετά από αρκετές αλλαγές μελών στο μπάσο και στα τύμπανα, κάπου το 2014, ήρθαν στη μπάντα ο Μάρκος και ο Αλέξανδρος και έτσι ολοκληρώθηκε η σύνθεση που συνεχίζει μέχρι σήμερα. «Kaldera» θα πει…. Μια παρέα φίλων με κοινή αγάπη για τη μουσική, που παρά τις αντιξοότητες και τις διαφωνίες, συνεχίζουν μαζί δημιουργώντας τραγούδια εμπνευσμένα από την καθημερινότητα του μέσου Έλληνα. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7k8lLUaOsA Παιδικά μας ακούσματα που μας σημάδεψαν είναι…. Οι επιρροές είναι πολλές και διάφορες και κάθε μέλος έχει τις δικές του. Τα κοινά σημεία είναι σίγουρα το rock και το funk και αυτός είναι ο λόγος που αυτά τα στοιχεία υπερισχύουν στα τραγούδια μας. Από εκεί και πέρα, οι επιρροές ποικίλουν και ξεκινάνε από το blues και τη soul και φτάνουν μέχρι το grunge και το heavy metal. Μας αρέσει ο πλουραλισμός στον ήχο και θεωρούμε πλεονέκτημα ότι κάθε μέλος έχει το δικό του πολύ προσωπικό υπόβαθρο. Κοινή αφετηρία , εκτός από την αγάπη μας για την μουσική, αποτελεί… Όλοι έχουμε κοινό τόπο καταγωγής και μεγαλώσαμε στο ίδιο χωριό. Επίσης, ο Γιάννης και ο Βασίλης είναι φίλοι και συνοδοιπόροι στη μουσική εδώ και 25 χρόνια, καθώς παίζανε μαζί μουσική από τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 90. Τέλος, ο Βασίλης, ο Μάρκος και ο Αλέξανδρος είναι ξαδέρφια και γνωρίζονται από παιδιά. Όσοι πατήσετε play στον δίσκο μας «Το πλήρωμα του χρόνου» θα …. Θα ακούσετε 10 καινούργια τραγούδια μας σε παραγωγή του Kosta Vreto. Όλες οι συνθέσεις ανήκουν σε εμάς, ενώ καθοριστική είναι και συμβολή του φίλου μας Χρήστου Μαρνασίδη, ο οποίος έγραψε τους στίχους σε έξι τραγούδια. Το ύφος είναι ένα κράμα από κλασσικό Rock, Funk, Grunge και Blues, ενώ βασικό χαρακτηριστικό είναι οι πλούσιες ενορχηστρώσεις που περιλαμβάνουν πολλαπλά κιθαριστικά μέρη, ατμοσφαιρικά πλήκτρα, δυναμικά πνευστά και μαγικά δεύτερα γυναικεία φωνητικά. Επίσης, σημαντικό ατού του άλμπουμ είναι και οι φιλικές συμμετοχές από καταξιωμένους μουσικούς όπως ο Ηλίας Ζάικος (Blues Wire) και ο Kosta Vreto (Wardrum), καθώς και η συμμετοχή του τρομπετίστα Γιώργου Αβραμίδη, γνωστού από τη συνεργασία του με τον Γιάννη Αγγελάκα. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6KD6-qrXjs&list=PLMK4tD4Ie1rgT8NU-B9c4WBw8aQTIEb6- Οι στίχοι μας είναι εμπνευσμένοι από... Από διάφορες πτυχές της καθημερινότητας. Έχουμε τραγούδια που καυτηριάζουν τη σημερινή πολιτική και οικονομική κατάσταση, τραγούδια που σκιαγραφούν σκοτεινούς και ανεκπλήρωτους έρωτες, τραγούδια για τη φωτεινή πλευρά του έρωτα, αλλά και τραγούδια για τα συναισθήματα που δημιουργεί η πατρότητα. Γενικά, οτιδήποτε βιώνουμε μπορεί να αποτελέσει πηγή έμπνευσης και να οδηγήσει στη δημιουργία ενός τραγουδιού. Η μουσική μας πορεία από τα 90’s έως σήμερα ήταν… Ο Γιάννης και ο Βασίλης ξεκίνησαν να παίζουν μαζί στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 90 και δημιούργησαν τους βραχύβιους Δέλεαρ που έπαιζαν δικό τους υλικό και διασκευές ελληνικού και ξένου rock. Οι Δέλεαρ διαλύθηκαν λόγω σπουδών και επαγγελματικών υποχρεώσεων, όμως αποτέλεσαν το ερέθισμα για τους μικρότερους σε ηλικία Μάρκο και Αλέξανδρο, οι οποίοι στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 2000 έπιασαν με τη σειρά τους τα όργανα, έφτιαξαν τη δική τους μπάντα και άρχισαν τις live εμφανίσεις σε τοπικές σκηνές. Αργότερα, ο Αλέξανδρος βρέθηκε για σπουδές στην Καστοριά όπου πήρε μέρος σε τοπικά σχήματα. Με την επιστροφή του στη Θεσσαλονίκη έπαιξε με διάφορες μπάντες, ώσπου το 2014, μαζί με τον Μάρκο, ένωσαν τις δυνάμεις τους με τον Γιάννη και τον Βασίλη και δημιούργησαν τους Kaldera. Η μουσική για εμάς είναι…. Τρόπος έκφρασης των συναισθημάτων μας, απόδραση από την καθημερινότητα, αλλά και μέσο διοχέτευσης της δημιουργικότητάς μας σε κάτι που αγαπάμε με πάθος. Το μέσο που θα θέλαμε να ακούγονται τα τραγούδια μας είναι… Μας χαροποιεί ιδιαίτερα όταν τα τραγούδια μας μεταδίδονται στο ραδιόφωνο, είτε στα FM είτε από διαδικτυακούς σταθμούς, γιατί θεωρούμε μεγάλη τιμή να υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που τους αρέσουν τόσο πολύ ώστε να τα παίξουν στην εκπομπή τους. Επίσης, νιώθουμε πολύ όμορφα όταν ο κόσμος έρχεται στα live μας και τραγουδάει τους στίχους μας μαζί μας. Μελλοντικά θα μας βρείτε … Ετοιμάζουμε μια μικρή περιοδεία που θα ξεκινήσει τον Ιανουάριο και θα περιλαμβάνει εμφανίσεις σε Αθήνα, Θεσσαλονίκη και άλλες πόλεις της Βόρειας Ελλάδας. Το πρόγραμμα θα περιέχει κυρίως δικά μας τραγούδια, αλλά και διασκευές σε τραγούδια που αγαπάμε και αποτέλεσαν την αφορμή να ασχοληθούμε με τη μουσική. Επίσης, στις 15/01/2020 θα παίξουμε ζωντανά στη ραδιοφωνική εκπομπή «Οι Ντόπιοι» στο Ράδιο Θεσσαλονίκη. «Το Πλήρωμα του Χρόνου» κυκλοφορεί ψηφιακά από το Ogdoo Music Group (περιέχει δέκα τραγούδια των Kaldera σε παραγωγή του Kosta Vreto) και μπορείτε να το βρείτε εδώ. Ακολουθείστε τους Kaldera και στο Facebook για να μαθαίνετε πρώτοι τα νέα του συγκροτήματος. Ευχαριστούμε πολύ τους Kaldera για την παραχώρηση του φωτογραφικού υλικού.

Sacred Kink with Lee Harrington - Ep 108

Lee Harrington joins us for a discussion about sacred kink on episode 108 of American Sex Podcast. If sacred sexuality, ritual, and sex magic aren’t your cup of tea, hold up. Lee explains how the altered states of consciousness and profound emotional shifts experienced during adult play are universal. He teaches us to translate language about these experiences to fit our own personal belief systems. We discuss viewing the sacred through the lens of technology, how to pervert spirituality & identify when that’s appropriate, the practical reality of sex magic we all can benefit from, reconciling your religious beliefs with your kinky desires, feminism and BDSM, combating the “one twue way” thinking in both kink and organized religion, and so much more. Lee makes spiritual concepts mind-blowingly accessible even to those that regard themselves as more science-minded. This episode is not to be missed!

Lurk Deliver an Emotional Sledgehammer of Extremity

~By Willem Verhappen~

I have a confession to make: I'm a shallow bastard. At least, I can be when it comes to music. Every so often, I come across a record by a band I don't know and I buy it even though I haven't heard a single note of what's on it. Sometimes, when I have no idea what kind of music it even is, I might do a quick internet search, but often I just buy it. I buy those records for one simple reason: I like the artwork. The thing with this tactic is, sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't.

I also bought 'Fringe' (2018), the third record by Finnish death-doomsters LURK for this reason. The record was originally released in 2016 by the band themselves, but now Transcending Obscurity Records re-released the record with hauntingly beautiful new artwork from Adam Burke.

Hauntingly beautiful is also a good way to describe the music. Not in a pretty way though, for this is still a Finnish band. I'm not sure if it's the lack of sunlight during winter or something else, but the country is home to some of the most depressing bands ever. Lurk certainly is one of them. The four piece mixes death, black and doom metal in a sludgy mix.

Fringe (Atmospheric Sludge/Doom Metal) by LURK (Finland)

Opener "Ostrakismos" is dark, almost ambient-like piece, with even an alto-saxophone thrown in the mix. Expect slow but melodic guitar arpeggios, drenched in reverb and with sufficient feedback. "Tail Blade" has a more traditional structure, with some quality doom riffs and heavy drum hits.

By the end of the second song, it's already clear who the real star of the record is. Vocalist Kimmo Koskinen is a true force to be reckoned with. His grunts are low and dark, sometimes appearing to go subsonic. It's often similar to the most extreme parts of Manne Ikonen (Ghost Brigade). At other times he belts out emotional screams, sporadically bordering those of Amenra's Colin H van Eeckhout. By the time we reach "Elan," Koskinen channels his inner Aaron Stainthorpe, mixing clean vocals with grunts. It must be noted though, that even though his clean vocals are good, he's no match for the My Dying Bride vocalist.

The fact that the vocals are good on this record, does not mean that the music is overpowered by them. Musically, every song firmly holds its ground. Each song is a depression inducing lesson in bleakness. The songs sometimes sound clear, melodic and open, at other times heavy and dense, throwing you on the floor and refusing to let you get up. Once again the comparison with their countrymen from Ghost Brigade isn't far away, but Lurk still manage to kick it up a notch.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Transcending Obscurity is my go-to label for extreme metal and Fringe is no exception. If you're into the Finnish brand of extreme doom metal, the kind that is both beautiful and mercilessly punishing, you're going to love Lurk. They're in the same spectrum as bands such as Ghost Brigade, Swallow The Sun and Hooded Menace, but without sounding like a copy of any of those bands. Go have a listen right now, but be careful, you just might be as broken as the end of "Proteus Syndrome."

Chatting It Up With Kalle & Kimmo of Lurk

~By Shawn Gibson~

First things first: introductions!

Kalle: Yours truly, Kalle Nurmi, can be found beating the skins, a.k.a. drumming. Arttu Pulkkinen on guitar, Eetu Nurmi on bass, and Kimmo Koskinen is always screaming for vengeance. We’ve been active for about ten years now.

'Fringe' (2018), your latest LP, was released on the Transcending Obscurity label over the summer, right?

Kalle: That’s correct, but actually Fringe was originally, although momentarily, released on Bandcamp two years prior. We didn’t have any luck with labels back then and decided just to put it out there, mainly out of frustration. Then Kunal Choksi of Transcending Obscurity got in contact with us, wanting to do a proper release and we quite quickly went with him. You could sense the passion driving him and we knew he was gonna deliver - and he did! Fringe is our third album, preceded by our self-titled debut and our second, Kaldera.

Kimmo: Kunal's dedication has been inspiring. Finally Fringe gets the release it deserves, not least because of the exceptionally amazing art of Adam Burke.

What bands from Finland do you guys like and like to play with?

Kalle: Horse Latitudes, Hooded Menace, Coughdust, Demonic Death Judge, Black Royal -- those are just some that come to mind easily, that we’ve played with. There are loads of great bands from Finland, metal and otherwise, that we’ve not shared a stage with just yet.

Kimmo: There are loads of spirited groups in Finnish underground and different styles interlock smoothly together. We have played with doom, death and black metal bands, in hardcore nights and so on. Passionate and honest atmosphere feeds itself and leads to torrid combinations.

Where are some good places in Finland to see metal or heavy bands play?

Kalle: You can see great underground-bands play at Vastavirta Klubi in Tampere. I’m not sure about the situation in Helsinki at the moment, but I presume Lepakkomies has bands all the time and we’ve played there a lot at one point. More mainstream metal acts can be seen at Klubi, YO-Talo or Olympia in Tampere, and during the summer there’s a festival going on somewhere all the time. For example Tuska is completely dedicated to metal.

What are some of Lurk's influences musically?

Kalle: Oh man, that’s a tricky one! We’ve never decided on a certain sound or a band that we wanted to sound like, so all of our influences were allowed to get in the music. But of course, some bands have bigger weight in our output. For example Celtic Frost, Eyehategod, Neurosis, Entombed, Black Sabbath, Emperor, Burzum and about gazillion other bands. Also artists outside of metal, as Scott Walker’s The Drift is, in my opinion, one of the scariest albums ever made.

What's a damn good book you've read lately?

Kalle: Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, everything by Lovecraft. My most recent favourite book is by legendary Finnish writer Mika Waltari. I had to check online for its English title, it’s called The Etruscan.

What makes you laugh uncontrollably?

Kalle: Human endeavor. Also, cat videos.

The artwork by Adam Burke is amazing! Elan is my favorite song on this album. Please explain what this album means to the band and what the artwork symbolizes.

Kalle: This album means a lot to us. We changed bass players just before making the second album, Kaldera, and that kinda made us want to write differently too, and now with Fringe I think we managed to capture something that was set in motion back in those days. Maybe we are slow learners but this is the album that we wanted to do already back then, we just didn’t know how. We wanted to combine the best parts of our both previous albums and use them to make a goddamn super-album! The art itself wasn’t made to order, but when we saw it there was no question about it. It fits the mood. It’s not completely bleak and void of colour, there are shades and textures. There is also a strong link to nature, and death is ever-present, looming in the background.

Kimmo: Fringe is about the passion and all the human behavior around it. We, as species, have lost and banned big part of our heritage, our primal instincts. What's most important, the honesty has been derogated. Humanity isn't just positive pool of thoughts, and it seems that the world is nowadays living just for the decorative skin. At the same time the self-proclaimed messiahs are conspiring behind our backs, in the name of religion, money and power. But there's so much power to be found from death, rage and beastliness, because those pure things are us. Lurk is the one channeling the vigor and ripping the meaningless crust apart. From the woods we have come and to the woods we are to be buried.

What is in the future for Lurk?

Kalle: New songs, so probably a new album, maybe some gigs. Who knows? The doom-train keeps a-rolling.

You guys have an amazing response to this album and have great reviews how do you feel and how does this motivate you?

Kalle: It’s always good that people like it. Some seem to like it a lot! I’d be making music even without the positive reviews, but they tell us we’re onto something good.

Kimmo: We are making the music for ourselves, first and foremost. But if someone finds it intriguing, I don't blame him or her. If the music makes one think, it has reached the goal.
