"The Flagstaff story earns retelling because it inverts the usual environmental script. There was no crisis, no reckoning, no expensive restoration — just a small law passed early, before the thing it protected was lost, renewed by each generation because the residents could step outside and see what they were saving."

Swords of Dis, Serpent Ascending, Ôros Kaù, Midnight Odyssey – From the Waters of Death – A retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh Review By Thus SpokeIn case you’re unfamiliar, The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient Mesopotamian poetic narrative, whose first complete form is dated to approximately 1800 BCE. It follows a story of King Gilgamesh and his dealings with gods and other mythic monsters, culminating in a journey for the secret of immortality.1 What better way could there be to consume this rich, literary epic than have it interpreted by the collection of artists behind From the Waters of Death? Obscure black/doom duo Swords of Dis; death metal veteran and experimenter Serpent Ascending; Neptunian Maximalism’s darker, heavier incarnation Ôros Kaù; and ambient-black dreamer Midnight Odyssey. All are infamous—if you know who they are—for their strange, unconventional styles and love for long-form expression that borders on the self-indulgent, which may make them ideally suited to a Gilgamesh retelling. You may already be experiencing a sinking feeling of dread at those name-drops. But together these artists achieve something that exceeded my expectations even as it met them squarely.
While appearing to be a split, Waters is more of a collaboration as each individual contributes vocal or instrumental talents across multiple songs, including on those they wrote and take the lead in themselves. Spearheading the whole thing are Richard and Alice Corvinus of Swords of Dis, who have a hand in all lyrics and appear on every track. These lyrics, inspired by the words of the epic itself, consist of narration interspersed with dialogue between the various characters, and the five musicians rotate and share roles depending on who is involved in the corresponding part of the story. 2 This improves the album’s internal coherence—which might otherwise be hindered in a split format—whilst also allowing each movement to take on the personality of its lead artist. As a form of adaptation, the five tracks of reverb-filled, noisy, strange, melodramatically or demoniacally vocally-led, black-adjacent fringe metal lean into the grand, frightening side to the tale whose gravity us modern-age folk probably can’t appreciate properly. And it’s that excessive, almost absurd commitment to being different, which—and I can’t believe I’m saying this—actually works.
From The Waters Of Death by SWORDS OF DIS
Drama is at the heart of oral poetic tradition, and it’s Waters’ drama that similarly grounds its best aspects. Utmost credit goes to Alice Corvinus and her fierce (“From Egalmah They Rode…”3, operatic (“Araru Births the Lord of the Wilderness,” “From Egalmah…,” “Blood Stains The Altar…”4), sometimes eerie (“Into the Wailing Darkness”5) vocal performance. Her presence dominates as she provides some narration in addition to voicing every female character (and there are a lot of goddesses involved). Dark, minor tremolo refrains and Middle-Eastern-inspired melodies support her delivery, and the theatrical, flowing style Swords of Dis employ lends itself to this expression perfectly. In a different vein, the inhumanly gurgling snarls of Guillaume Cazalet (Ôros Kaù) make for a barbed contrast to otherwise vague, even beautiful, passages (“Blood…”), and can be genuinely frightening (“Into The Wailing Darkness”). All vocals—clean or harsh—are odd to a degree, sometimes even off-putting (“Araru…”). Yet most breaches of the cringe line are brief, and ameliorated by interesting instrumentation (“Blood…,” “From the Setting…”6). Those totally averse to what we anaemically refer to as ‘avant-garde’ in extreme metal can beg to differ, but the back and forth between dissonance and harmony (“Araru…,” “Blood…”), and between uncomfortable slowness and sudden speed (“From the Setting…”), is not only well-performed, it makes sense for the record’s narrative concept. A journey represented through a monotonous pattern (“From Egalmah…,” “From the Setting…”), the fury of a deity by means of an operatic surge (“From Egalmah…”).
Waters embodies the manner of epic poetry so well, however, that its digestibility is harmed as well as helped. Whether appropriate or not, its near-90-minute runtime makes engaging with its entirety a daunting prospect, and this is a record that fares best when you do give it the time and space to immerse you.7 The very aptness of the compositional style—long repetitive sections on the one hand, and frequent switches between tempo, melody, and vocalist on the other—which mimics recitation amongst orators, can prove taxing. It creates a dynamic of brilliant moments and stand-out performances, scattered unevenly inside overextended filling. It’s perhaps not a coincidence that the album’s midsection—the two tracks led by masterminds Swords of Dis—is by far the best and most even in quality, whereas its final act—Midnight Odyssey’s—is the least engaging and unable to support its length.8
Though Waters cannot escape the idiosyncrasies of the artists behind it—and so inherently restricts its audience—as an expression of this epic poem, these approaches to black metal are surprisingly apt. If you have the time to go on this adventure with Serpent Ascending, Ôros Kaù, Swords of Dis, and Midnight Odyssey, there’s plenty to enjoy. But if nothing else, let it be an excuse to learn about the original myth that inspires such weird, sometimes wonderful music.
Rating: Good(!)

*** To My Beloved Thief (2026) ***
(Viki 16 1:10 eps)[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]
A retelling of the story of Hong Gil Dong - stealing from the rich & giving to the poor. This time with a woman as the gifted offspring of a nobleman & a slave. She is a doctor by day & a savior by night.
A furtive prince passes time playing at detective. As he crosses paths with the dr. & the thief repeatedly, he learns a great deal about himself & the plight of his country's citizens.
Nam Ji Hyun is the star, but the other leads did a great job supporting her & the leads had great chemistry. The story has typical Joseon court intrigue, but with some fresh twists. The soul-swapping trope was used very effectively to switch up the story & provide new perspectives for the characters. A fine balance of mystery, romance, comedy, & social commentary.

Everyone should take a moment to appreciate just how absolutely wild the #RankinBass #Christmas specials actually are.
Like, these aren't just retellings, they have deep lore, with all sorts of wild stuff going on. Like, in #Rudolph's origin story alone, he winds up with #Frosty's family on the "Isle of Misfit Toys", then has to return to rescue his childhood girlfriend from a yeti, which ends up getting all of its teeth pulled out by some guy who trains it to bend candy canes or something?? It's been a bit since I watched that one in particular, but it has less deviation than the most of them... "Christmas in July" has Jack Frost and evil wizards and ancient goddesses and shit, all because Rudolph and Frosty wanted to watch fireworks with the family.
They were asked to make a 1-hour TV special off of some one minute songs about Frosty and Rudolph, and delivered this simarillan level errata next to "not being evil is easy: just put one foot in front of the other."

Soy consciente de lo problemático que es su director y de que #DraculaALoveTale copia descaradamente el vestuario de la versión de #Coppola, pero me ha gustado mucho este retelling. Desarrolla mucho mejor el romance entre Elisabeta y Drácula y los actores están espectaculares. Mención especial a María (que hace las veces de Lucy Westenra) y a #ChristophWaltz.
PD: No le he dado ni un duro al director.
