Quote

"It has been said that time heals all wounds.
I do not agree.
The wounds remain.
In time the mind,
protecting its sanity,
covers them with scar tissue
and the pain lessens, but it is never gone."

- Rose Kennedy

Véu

O movimento transparece
Na névoa do teu olhar
A melancolia entristece
No desvanecer do sonhar

E o véu resfria o espírito
Naquele leito de desatino
Na voz do velho crítico
Do aclamado destino

E a terra aquece a figura
Estendido sobre a humidade
Sobre a lua que se pendura
Rindo da sua [in] sanidade

A muppet death metal special

Reencontro

Insana virtude daquela estrela carmim
Que se arrasta em fios de dor
Onde a noite encerra o seu fim
Em vénias de explícito despudor

Senti a vida a correr em leitos
De nudezes oprimidas em véus
Em continentes de estreitos
Honro a fauna dos céus

Uivo afogado em carpidos
Pelo dilacerante rasgo da concepção
Em mim os sonhos perdidos
Encontrados na imaginação

E o olhar recai sobre ti
Melíflua Vénus que me abraça
De que um dia fugi
E vivi na doce ressaca

FNI no Ponto de Encontro, Almada

Um bom concerto com uma casa composta e com um som bastante aceitável. Assim até dá gosto!

Happy Halloween

The blood splashes through the door
As the blade opens the jugular
A cascade of tears covers the floor
The occult entrails the altar

For the room is in the woods
Wide deep in the gloom
Carving in the moods
In lighted by the moon

And the witches run free
In the horror of this land
The blood born in trees
At the vampires fang

The ocean is drowning
From the trickery it has seen
For dead are blossoming
Hell… It’s Halloween!

It doesn’t make much sense but is the intention that counts…

Priest Feast - Dia 17 de Março

Mandeville

Orgulho-me de ter demonstrado que não são nem as qualidades de bondade ou as afeições delicadas naturais ao homem, nem as reais virtudes que ele é capaz de adquirir pela razão e pela abnegação, que constituem o fundamento da sociedade; mas que aquilo a que no mundo chamamos mal, tanto moral como natural, é o grande princípio que faz de nós criaturas sociáveis, a base sólida, a vida e o apoio de todas as actividades e de todos os empregos, sem excepção; que é nele que devemos procurar a verdadeira origem de todas as artes e de todas as ciências, e que, no momento em que o mal desapareça, a sociedade se deteriora, se não se dissolver inteiramente.

- Bernard Mandeville

Ava Inferi - 4 Outubro em Vilar, no Cadaval

Duncan Patterson & Mick Moss

Heavenly conceived

The moonlight cuddles the green
Dangle in an exhale of a leave
A tear reflects what has been
What heaven has conceive

An ignominious sphere
Upon the face of the abyss
Where the strings adhere
A portrait carved in bliss

And the light lingers in stain
In the vision of the stars
Inviting to a world of pain
And a life full of scars…

"I sit here as by your side
and weep you goodbye,
I'm singing songs of sorrow for you
true gentle rose of mine.
Upon my arm I've tied a ribbon in black
although I know too well that this
will not ever bring you back..."

Criatura

Nas trevas do horizonte
Longínquo e distante
Cerrada, a chuva esconde
Uma forma que me espante

A brandura do oceano
Acaricia o penhasco
De onde nasce insano
A sombra e o carrasco

E vejo a inquietude
Na figura relutante
Que se arrasta na finitude
De um movimento dançante

Na ondulação ele mergulha
Num voo rotativo
Na espuma borbulha
O corpo explosivo

E afoga-se a mente
Num murmúrio de silêncio
Pela dor que não sente
Crepúsculo de sentencio

The Nature of Evil

“Through metaphor, we can only paint a picture. The shapes and colors can only be realized through meditation on the metaphors and doing the work itself. There is no substitute for the latter, and, while many have not practiced Goetic evocation as classically described, they have evoked "unawares," over and over again, the same powerful forces and demons which have both helped and hindered them.”

“Evil is an "externalization" and "objectification" of something fearful, horrifying, or different. Evil can be a label for something as simple as a person or an object that frustrates us. Evil is pain.

Evil is the enemy. Evil is the Gods of other men. Evil is the night terrors. Evil is the overwhelming feeling of falling apart. Yet all these images are non-sense. Evil like other ideas exists because we as humans exist. Nature knows not Evil, neither Good, nor for that matter Law. These are creations of the human mind, "explanations" which help us quiet the "terrors of the night." The human mind requires the belief in "its" idea of order" for the sale purposes of the human mind. Thus the nature of evil is the human mind.”

Aleister Crowley, in The Nature of Evil

Contracted

Leaves glow in dusk reflection

In a sea of dim light

Craving the shadows for protection

From the sun and is sight

Prospecting the oblivion

The eyes lure in the gallows

The manacles of ion

Black energy discharge in shadows

Contracted is the closure

That dies through day

From the light exposure

Entailing the decay

Yet, hope is timeless

Is the infinite of the night

And the body lifeless

In the joy of the light

Behemoth - At the left hand ov God

New video from the polish band Behemoth




The making of

Expectations run wild in the mist
Abroad the ocean that sleeps
In the opposite confrontation
Of a silent detonation

The wind sails methodically
A vacuum of sage
Raging smoothly
The veils of sacrilege

In a atmosphere of abomination
Abhor and tremble
The anxiety for salvation
The blood handles

In a throne of shadows
Of agony and despair
A divided hollow
In the black blare

Once enthroned
Amid wolfs and rain
Became entombed
In heavenly pain

A Media do Horror (Music Version)

Ahahahah, uma brincadeira que fiz com uma cena que tinha escrito há uns tempos.
Enfim, às vezes sabem bem estes devaneios.

Corre a brisa na nocturna trovoada de verão. Assim como quem não quer a coisa a bruma escala a planície como uma sombra no crepúsculo daquela sensação de vazio que nos enche na solidão daquela imensa angústia.

Do crepúsculo da humanidade
Gritam salvas de tormento
Sobre a gélida humidade
Suspira o sofrimento

Nascem monotonias
Nos corpos salpicados
Cantam chagas fugidias
Em corpos laminados

Horror melódico
De um sadismo crescente
Histerismo eufórico
Da morte emergente

Remoinho de corpos
Em torno da luz
Movem-se tortos
O retrato seduz

Alimento

Crepúsculo de véus
Da vida encantada
A morte dos céus
Na alma queimada

Caverna de luz
Na rosa estendida
A noite seduz
A entrada perdida

No lobo, do ventre
Cresce a discórdia
Na noite pendente
Narra-se a história

Orquídeas em espiral
Entre corpos reais
Bebem corvos de sal
As feridas fulcrais

Onde a caverna se lamenta
Perdem-se gritos suspensos
Na escolha da ementa
Vagueiam olhos imensos

Na busca do caminho
Dos deuses esquecidos
A Fénix faz o ninho
De ramos enternecidos

De sangue e esperança
A arquitectura é ramificada
No choro da criança
A vida é gerada

Barroselas Metalfest

The Battering Wolf

The howling sphere rejoice
Embracing the wounds of sorrow
The detriment of choice
In the emerging hollow

Deep in morning scars
Wolfs are carved in stone
Moaning to the stars
Constricting the spawn

Mauling and screaming
Upon paths of desire
Bleeding and grieving
Though a moon of fire

Rough and fierce
The altar of despair
Grow and pierce
The stain is fair

And the wolf cries
A river of howls
The rose dies
In a thorn of shadows

Blasphemer leave Mayhem...

"It is with these written words that I hereby retract myself from my position as the guitar player of Mayhem.

The main reason behind this conclusion lies in the fact that I simply don't see any future for me in the band anymore, at least not a future I'd like to participate in over the coming years. I've been playing my part in the band now for more than 13 years already, having composed, produced and released several albums with great vision, dedication and craftsmanship, to arrive at this crossroad of opposites. Sooner or later, all things comes to an end, and in my case, this circle is complete.

For some of you this might not come as the biggest surprise, as I've clearly stated in several interviews that I was not sure what the next step would be. These "hints" were partly rooted in the fact that our latest album fulfilled all of the expectations, visions and aspects of negativity that I felt I wanted to express with this band, and also, of similar importance, that I felt tired of both the touring aspects, amidst its turbulence and personal differences, and also my role in the band.

It has been a dark, devoted and spellbinding journey, and as some beings and entities develop, others remain the same. I've developed my essence. No questions. However, the legacy of MAYHEM will / must always remain what it always has been, and I wish to thank all parts involved and to wish them all the best for the future. I also would like to thank my followers over the years, from "Wolf's Lair..." to "Ordo...", my vision has been clear. I'm also sure the band will continue with a respectful formation, and that an eventual album will be placed "up there", where it (should) belong.

I have now personally chosen to focus on other paths in terms of creativity and vision. My "child of heart" AVA INFERI has already a busy schedule for the future and our third album is being crafted as we speak. I will also re-surface with new will and blood in a future extreme project. You have not heard the last of me, on the contrary. It's all about to begin.

Note that the few already scheduled shows will go on as planned WITH me.

Rune Eriksen/Blasphemer".

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

Estava a navegar e encontrei isto a dar numa página! Grandes recordações!!
80's rules!!!!

Seclusion

It took us ages
To became what we are not
Once betrayed by our pledges
In a world that we forgot

And there is seclusion
In the lies we’re fighting for
Walls of illusion
A transparent mask abhors

And a broken heart consumes
The life of the soul
Minute by minute exhumes
Like an horrid maul

Blood paints the sky
Over and over again
In a silent cry
The architect plan

Na abstinência da vida
Filtrada pelo medo
Na motivação esquecida
Cravada pelo credo

Injecta-se o absinto
No sono contido
Dorme faminto
O monstro perdido

Na alegria do ser
De querer e não ligar
A vontade de pertencer
Onde Deus não habitar.

Pelo canto da medusa
Emerso e omnipresente
A Lua que seduza
O sol do ocidente

Filii Nigrantium Infernalium - Calypso

Em nome do metal nacional!



"Calypso - puta infernal
O mar devora o adeus - o deus que fui
Terra - ervas do Mal - o nada afoga o
Tudo, e eu - Norte e Sul - Rock'n'Roll!

Guerreiro do trovão
O pó incuba o ar...
Sangue no sal
A morte é real!

Calypso - chama febril
O teu veneno alimenta o meu funeral
Poço... águas de azur
Resta a queda, a ressaca, a maré o sal

A morte é real
O pó incuba o ar...
Sangue no sal
A morte é real!

Nuvens de ópio - tortura, prazer
Acabarei nos poços de azur
A roda ao pescoço, a matriz
A raiz do Mal - profanação!!"

Entangle

A memory lays there
Out of earthly reach
Where angels bare
And demons weep

In grace repent
And carved wounds
Centuries spent
In revolting gloom

Angels regret demonically
With entwine accident
Demons rejoice angelically
Abhorred in sapience

And nowhere has it stayed
Alone in hecatomb
Exhausted by prays
Shouted from the womb

Hãã!! Gostas do rosinha!! Espectacular!!!

Dias Solarengos

Dias solarengos
Nas horas perdidos
Em sinfonias de crescendos
E encantos escondidos

Sente a vida no horizonte
Distante e sem fronteira
Na procura de uma fonte
Em selo… inteira

A procura da luz
Naquele lugar misterioso
A escolha que seduz
Sentimento piedoso

No limite da maldade
Em torno da monotonia
A busca da identidade
Em gritos de agonia

E cantos silenciosos
Estendidos pelo universo
Desfilam ansiosos
Na mente disperso

Hypocrisy

Restrain the life
From awakening
Beware the strife
That’s emerging

Like crystal stones
Reflecting in the dark
Alludes to the condone
Of a false spark

Regarding the merge
Into a zesty clasp
Prostrating the dirge
In a resourceful grasp

But still evades
In dark passions
Promiscuous blades
Concealing infections

In deep silent agony
They veiled the shadows
Constricting anxiously
Turbulence and mellow

Lonjura

Na distância se sente o vazio
Na proximidade a inexistência
A alma que atravessa o rio
Na barca da demência

Naquele lugar longínquo
Onde a memória sustenta
O pensamento oblíquo
Que embriagado comenta

“Sinto a lonjura,
Emoldurada na morte
Coberta na ternura
Imiscuída na sorte”

Riding a Sea of Light

Just a good voyage upon the face of the deep...

Disclosure

A glass beyond the eyes
Where reflections fly
The focus of light shines
As the spirit aligns

Through the transience
Under the blooded moon
We forge the allegiance
For the winter monsoon

Grieving tears flow
In a distant smile
Pouring the fallow
In a cover guile

Sober in slumber
In tender perfections
Aghast the blunder
Arising conceptions

Expelling the rain
While the souls entwine
Abhorring the stain
Embracing the concubine
