I am back 15 minutes later, delicately uncuffing her, gently removing her soiled underwear, and guiding her into the large bathtub nearby.
As we both sit soaking, my hands slowly soaping up her bruised shoulders, she turns to me: “I could really go for some waffles, right now” – “Waffles sounds great, I think Jurin opens in a few minutes. Let’s grab a cab”.

#Türkiye ’s ancient #Lydian kitchen reveals 2,600-year-old seeds
by Daily Sabah with AA
ISTANBUL Oct 19, 2026
"Using small, delicate tools, the team uncovered additional ovens in the area. The excavations yielded #einkorn, #emmer (a type of hulled wheat), common #wheat, six-row #barley, #BroadBeans, bitter #vetch, #chickpeas, #peas, #lentils, #GrassPea and #GrapeSeeds.
"A pit in the bedrock where large quantities of seeds were found was identified as a storage area for grain.
"The discoveries shed light not only on where food was cooked but also on how ingredients were stored, which plants were consumed and how kitchens functioned in daily life around 2,600 years ago."

In the Rush documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage,1 Jack Black describes musicians’ wells of creative juices as ‘rocket sauce.’ He notes that some musicians and bands only muster enough for one BIG album, while others seem to run on an endless supply.2 This description stuck with me through the years, and remains my go-to reference when someone gilds whatever they touch. Kraków vocalist Maciej Proficz is one such individual, and both his active projects Dormant Ordeal and Cursebinder run on vast reserves of rocket sauce while offering multifaceted interpretations of their respective genres. Dormant Ordeal’s Tooth and Nail landed at the #3 spot in last year’s Aggregated List; third album The Grand Scheme of Things received a glowing review from Dr. Wvrm and appeared on several 2021 end-of-year lists despite a late December release, and Cursebinder’s debut Drifting found itself atop Carcharodon’s Top Ten(ish) of 2023. Such accolades can’t guarantee future triumphs, but they can send expectations into the stratosphere—does Cursebinder’s sophomore album Psychohazard harness the rocket sauce to send us there?
Though Cursebinder operates under the black metal umbrella, no single genre encapsulates Psychohazard’s breadth. In his write-up of Drifting, Carcharodon cites doom, death, and post-metal as descriptors for Cursebinder’s chameleonic character. Instead of using camouflage in a way that makes Psychohazard difficult to absorb or engage with, though, this Polish quartet employs it to disguise barriers between genres and inculcate an atmosphere both familiar and unique. Compared to Drifting, Psychohazard submits more direct applications of riffs (“Saturnine Rage,” “Prayers for the Living, Flowers for the Dead”) and synths (“Limits”), and where Drifting’s genre-hopping evinced distinct moods with thoughtful transitions, Psychohazard blurs lines together with subtler craft.3 Psychohazard’s first four tracks flow together in a sublime strand that ricochets between textured aggression (“Death Season”) and gentler grooves (“The Astronaut”), culminating in a rabid fusion that seethes with angst and catharsis (“Saturnine Rage”). Honestly, this track would make a resounding closer, and to use it at Psychohazard’s midpoint illustrates the puissance of Cursebinder’s surrounding material.
Merging these sounds into a unified platter requires keen grace, and to then layer in the emotional depth that Cursebinder achieves is stunning. Cursebinder’s promo materials describe Psychohazard’s theme as a study in the collision of life’s ‘rat race’ and humanity’s inherent desire for love and acceptance. As the demands of my own life continue to creep,4 this idea strikes a chord that thrums with self-renewing relevance every day. “Death Season” bustles with vitriol and vigor as Proficz’s caustic vocals impel the track in a blinding tempest, while “The Astronaut” and “Under the Skin” float upon currents that relax and unwind one moment before boiling over into frenzied bursts the next. But even this is an oversimplification, as each track proves vibrant and diverse, refusing to condense into single emotions. Broadly, the back half of Psychohazard feels lighter than the front, putting more emphasis on dimensions that evoke post-metal’s vagrant dreaminess without losing the threads of riffs or motifs.
Considering Cursebinder’s sprawling ambitions, Psychohazard sounds focused and urgent throughout its runtime. The post-addled haze never drifts too far, the scorching fury never burns too hot, and the tender flashes never linger long enough to caramelize into mawkishness. I credit this purposefulness to the efficient instrumentation that Cursebinder unfurls with nary a wasted flourish. Guitarist Hubert Fudała and bassist Łukasz Sojka wend together in climactic swells and releases that expertly pace the album’s fifty-three minutes,5 and Marek Koszycki drums with nuanced timekeeping that flits between punk-powered d-beats (“Saturnine Rage”), insistent blast beats (“Made to Be Sold”), and delicate rhythms (“The Astronaut”). Proficz’s synth presence penetrates Psychohazard’s compositions, and in totality Cursebinder rewards repeat listens as each musician’s contributions impress individually while coalescing into an assembly greater than its sum.
Although post-related tags usually thwart my interest, something about Cursebinder’s spell called to me from beyond the ether. Psychohazard proves textures and layers can inculcate depth rather than acting as a standalone attraction, and going forward I hope to point to Cursebinder as my entry point into appreciating a wider expanse of metal. Cursebinder’s faults are few, and even if the record is slightly front-loaded or a few songs linger a tad overlong, these nitpicks pale in light of Psychohazard’s utter glory. If you seek an album that synthesizes the aura of post-metal with more conventional metal structures, I doubt you’ll find a better album this year. Barring that, you should listen to Cursebinder anyway, because missing it could be a Psychohazard to your health.

Entheos is a band I’ve followed since their inception. After discovering drummer and multi-instrumentalist Navene Koperweis through his work with Animals as Leaders, I devoured the debut EP Primal (2015) and full-length Dark Future (2017). Then 2023’s Time Will Take Us All arrived and blew my doors off, showcasing just how far Koperweis and vocalist Chaney Crabb had come as a duo. As I gushed in the comments of Dolphin’s review, I think he underrated it.1 So, when I was elected to review Empty on the Inside, I felt a sense of trepidation. The pre-release tracks had already foreshadowed a dramatic change, and if the singles primed me for what was to come, seeing the label “alternative metal” staring back at me from the onesheet all but confirmed that I was in for something new and different.
On their fourth LP, Entheos indeed venture into the new and different, with an eye toward broadening their audience. A smoother, more vanilla approach supplants the group’s ghost-in-the-machine overt technicality and feels noticeably less distinctive. Things start out promising enough, as “Hell is a Part of Me” and “Call My Name” reintroduce listeners to Entheos’ trademark blend of technical death and deathcore. Navene Koperweis’ metronomic rhythms and snappy snarework underpin low-tuned drawls, distorted chugs and quick trem-picked bursts, keeping everything rigid and methodical while allowing flashes of technicality to break through. Chaney Crabb remains a supreme talent, shapeshifting on a dime between pig squeals (“Call My Name”), reptilian rasps (“Hell is a Part of Me”), and crestfallen cleans (“Hollow,” “Call My Name”). However, Crabb’s cleans are pushed to the forefront as they pursue mainstream appeal through melodic hooks on tracks like “Hollow” and “Empty on the Inside,” evoking a cross between Courtney LePlante (Spiritbox) and Eva Spence (Rolo Tomassi). Whereas 2024’s The End of Everything EP only hinted at this approach, Empty on the Inside dials it up to eleven.
Unfortunately, in their quest for broader appeal, Entheos have overshot the mark, stripping away much of what has historically made them so compelling in favor of formulaic songwriting that feels frustratingly bland. And while Empty on the Inside’s opening tracks largely hold their own,2 the cracks begin to show with “Golden Crown,” an alternative metal track drowned in genre trappings you’ve heard a million times before. Sporting a Deftones-esque feel, replete with a lurching, heavy rock groove and reverberated chord progressions, Crabb leverages her newfound ethereality to fuel mopey choruses about the burdens of love with a throaty roar that hits as shallow as the lyrics themselves. Few ideas feel particularly noteworthy or essential, and any hint of novelty quickly wears thin as Empty on the Inside veers in a completely different direction. Things continue to disintegrate as the album presses on. “Undone” is a ’90s industrial track that wouldn’t fly as a Nine Inch Nails B-side, while “Tomblight” revisits the same tropey territory as “Golden Crown” despite a solid—albeit brief—guest spot from Michael Lessard (The Contortionist).
The delicate acoustic ballad “Never Let Me Go” offers the most compelling contrast to Entheos’ typical tech-death approach. Crabb’s performance is convincing, even though it feels particularly out of place within the album. “Pale Faith” and “The Earth Will Move” offer a reminder of just how formidable Chaney can be, as she unleashes a barrage of reptilian rasps and ferocious screams alongside the occasional falsetto line. It’s a shame she doesn’t strike this balance more often across Empty on the Inside because she clearly demonstrates her growth as a vocalist. Koperweis, meanwhile, who has been vocal on Instagram about his commitment to natural drum performances without triggers,3 continues to anchor Entheos with his usual precision. His kit sounds terrific, providing a focal point amid the otherwise pedestrian guitar work, save for the occasional solo that injects some needed fireworks.
Empty on the Inside is disappointing not because of its desire for change, but because Entheos have abandoned many of the defining characteristics that originally made them a force to be reckoned with. It was only a matter of time before evolution occurred, but the direction they’ve chosen leaves a lot to be desired. Empty on the Inside resembles a collection of songs rather than a cohesive whole and feels like an ill-advised attempt to ride the Spiritbox wave, crossing too far into territory Entheos never needed to occupy. It’s a divisive shift that will likely bifurcate their fan base, potentially alienating longtime listeners while appealing to a much broader audience.

Soy humano, y a veces cometo errores. El último fue abrir en el móvil Google en lugar del buscador que utilizo habitualmente, Qwant. Y claro, es abrir Google y que te salgan los titulares de Discover. Allí, en la tercera posición, aparecía una foto de un montón de ciervos, junto a un titular. «Los ecologistas que lograron prohibir cazar en parques nacionales ven ahora cómo ciervos y jabalíes están a punto de extinguir un árbol protegido de Doñana».
Y mal. Todo mal. Me explico…
Jara y Sedal, en pocas palabras
Si bien es cierto que acceder a un artículo presente en la infame revista Jara y Sedal (JyS) puede ser causa de urticaria grave, la tentación venció al principio de prevención de daño emocional, y terminé haciendo click en la nota. Pero no, no os lo voy a enlazar, no voy a darles visitas. Si quieres, lo buscas tú, que tienes el titular.
Publicado el pasado 15 de septiembre, en apenas 700 palabras, nos resumen un estudio que la Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD) del CSIC donde se advierte, en palabras de Edu Pompa, redactor en JyS, «la sobreprotección de ciervos y jabalíes está contribuyendo a llevar al piruétano hacia la extinción local». Al parecer, y siempre según el artículo de JyS, «La Ley de Parques Nacionales considera la caza deportiva y comercial una actividad incompatible con estos espacios», pero, tal y como alertan, «la desaparición de esta herramienta de gestión no evita que las poblaciones de ciervos y jabalíes deban ser reguladas cuando alcanzan densidades capaces de causar daños graves al ecosistema».
El piruétano, un pequeño árbol del mismo género que el peral —de hecho, también se le denomina peral ibérico— que en la UICN está catalogado como Preocupación menor, pero que en algunos entornos como en Doñana está sufriendo un declive importante en sus poblaciones. Según alerta la nota de JyS, «la herbivoría apareció como el principal factor de mortalidad». Es por ello, que «los científicos piden gestionar las altas densidades de ungulados», de lo que deducen, así, en negritas, que «dejar de cazar no es la solución y genera más problemas al ecosistema».
Cierva y cervatillo en Doñana - Anne y Saturnino Miranda vía Pixabay¿Qué dice el estudio, en realidad?
Tres meses antes de la publicación de JyS, el pasado 17 de junio, la delegación andaluza del CSIC publica una nota en su blog, haciéndose eco del estudio llevado a cabo por mis colegas de la EBD.
En la discusion del estudio, y reflejado en la nota de prensa, se muestra que, en efecto, las poblaciones de piruétano están amenazadas y que, en parte, existe la «paradoja de conservación. Ahora bien, en el estudio identifican varios factores ambientales detrás de este fenómeno, a saber:
Podría ser interesante que los de JyS omitan dos de los tres grandes problemas, y se centren en uno de ellos. No queremos pensar mal, y asumir que la mayoría de los lectores potenciales de la revista rechazarían de plano la noticia si pusieran el acento en los pozos ilegales de agua de Doñana o en el cambio climático. Vamos a aplicar el Principio de Hanlon.
Piruétano — Seednative.es¿Cazar o no cazar?
No podemos aplicar, sin embargo, la conocida navaja lógica sobre la maldad y la estupidez cuando buscamos las soluciones propuestas.
La revista JyS nos menciona la caza en varios puntos de su artículo. Para empezar, en el propio titular, donde descargan la responsabilidad a «los ecologistas» porque «lograron prohibir cazar en parques nacionales». Una premisa que reiteran en el texto al menos dos meces más, para concluir con esa oración capital marcada en negrita. La solución al problema del piruétano es clara para ellos: cazar a los ciervos y a los jabalíes, que son una plaga.
El estudio, sin embargo, saca a la luz algunas cosas incómodas. Para empezar, nos recuerda que fuera del Parque Nacional «se permite la caza y otras actividades humanas», y así y todo el piruétano sigue en declive; «estas poblaciones siguen siendo vulnerables al agotamiento de las aguas subterráneas, las sequías y los cambios en el uso de la tierra y, por lo tanto», dice el artículo científico, «el declive de las especies está generalizado en toda la región en lugar de limitarse a áreas protegidas».
Que viene el lobo...
La solución que los científicos de la EBD propone es bastante más compleja que el análisis simplista de JyS arrimando el ascua a su sardina. «La conservación de las poblaciones de peras ibéricas en Doñana requeriría una intervención activa», nos recuerda, y sitúa «en primer lugar, garantizar el uso sostenible del agua subterránea y el monitoreo de la recarga de acuíferos (…) para mitigar los efectos de la sequía y el estrés hídrico».
«En segundo lugar», nos dice el estudio, es cierto que hay que «controlar las densidades unguladas», pero no cazando indiscriminadamente. Lo que indican como solución, en realidad, es «restaurar el equilibrio depredador-presa», algo que «podría ayudar a aliviar la presión del pastoreo». Ademas, «en tercer lugar», el estudio incide en «mantener poblaciones sanas de dispersores de semillas», lo que «sería valioso para restaurar la conectividad funcional y promover el reclutamiento entre las poblaciones de Doñana».
Estos dos puntos son clave, porque «aunque los ungulados como los ciervos y los jabalíes han habitado la región de Doñana durante miles de años, sus densidades han aumentado en las últimas décadas dentro de Parque Nacional de Doñana», y esto está causado por «el declive o extinción local de los depredadores naturales, por ejemplo, el lobo». Pero, ademas, se da un hecho aún más curioso: los frutos del piruétano son unas pequeñas peras que son una delicia para los depredadores, como lobos, zorros y tejones. Estos animales sí que actúan como dispersores naturales de los frutos, y por eso, en algunas áreas de Doñana, la disminución de estos carnívoros «durante las últimas décadas han resultado en una limitación de la dispersión» de las semillas.
Por supuesto, el estudio finaliza marcando la importancia del «establecimiento de programas de monitorización demográfica y genética en poblaciones de piruétanos» que «ayudaría a detectar signos de advertencia temprana de un mayor declive por ejemplo, debido a la hibridación con Pyrus communis o ataques de plagas».
Diría que me sorprende que JyS haya optado por omitir información clave, como la importancia de los depredadores tanto en el control de la fauna como en la dispersión de las semillas. Diría que también me sorprende que hayan introducido como solución cazar a los ungulados, incluso sabiendo que es una medida ineficaz —nos lo dice el propio estudio al analizar las poblaciones fuera del Parque Nacional, y también otros muchos estudios, encabezados por el histórico caso de Yellowstone—. Pero mentiría. A estas alturas, tengo una capacidad muy limitada de sorprenderme.
