Convocation AGO 2026

https://https-vd.ch/2026/04/07/convocation-ago-2026/

I think most people who meet me, either online or in meatspace, would not imagine I enjoy a genre like funeral doom. Yet, it is one of my favorites. Acts like Eye of Solitude, Convocation, Slow, Un, and Ahab rank among my top choices for the space, and Romania’s In Ruins caught my ear by treading a similar path. A duo established in 2021, with mastermind Urmuz previously engaged with a spectrum of black metal, grindcore, and death/doom acts, In Ruins prepared a tight 42-minute opus as their opening salvo into fundoom territory. We Are All to Perish, but will we remember the journey that In Ruins led to that final destination?

With some funeral doom records, you get catharsis in the form of a few well-placed outbursts of violence interspersed between large swaths of misery. This is the philosophy Eye of Solitude and Convocation often adopt. Other applications of the style prioritize moods and crushing sorrow delivered at a dirge, a uniformly funereal pace that hypnotizes as much as it depresses. Enter the eulogies of Slow and Un. In Ruins embraces the latter methodology, lumbering as a husk emptied of light and of will. It is a deeply affecting emotional foundation upon which to build, and In Ruins build upon it well. Riffs crush and linger, simple and thunderous, but here they are not the hero element. Melody and atmosphere take a higher rank, though they too dilute into a more simplified, pure state that maximizes potency while stripping away musical complexity. It is entrancing as only funeral doom records can be, and its smart writing boasts all of the natural components for a successful procession.

In Ruins – We Are All to Perish | MMR069 by In Ruins

A common element that distinguishes good and great funeral doom records from inferior specimens is a showstopper track. Slow famously invites comparison here with their incredible “Incendiare,” Eye of Solitude with “Act II: Where the Descent Began,” Convocation with “Atychiphobia,” Woebegone Obscured with “Drømmefald.” In Ruins achieves it with closer “Farewell,” and does so in the most deceptively simple way. By launching the track with excellent SWANA1-inspired melisma, and reinforcing those deep vocalizations later against mournful bells, In Ruins makes an indelible mark on my fundoom rotation. It’s slow and plodding through its first act, enacting yet another favorite motif: the two-chord riff (see Slow’s “Lueur” for a stellar example of this tactic). In its second, a weeping melody, isolated against droning choral synths and Frayle-esque backing siren song until the album’s dying rattle. It is breathtaking and morose in equal measure, but more than that, it inspires repeat spins for the express purpose of experiencing the excursion that led to this climax with greater anticipation and attention.

This, in turn, invigorates and contextualizes the songwriting of the preceding three tracks. At first, they go through all the right motions of a proper funeral doom experience, but without a strong sense of memorability to leave a lasting impression. But after the first spin, I noticed the clarity of “I’m Tired of Living in My Land” offered by its candid, unpretentious lyrics. I understood the emptiness and the apathy that colors “I Do Not Regret and I Do Not Shed Tears” in a monochrome, dull gray. Compositional foreshadowing felt more meaningful when “We’ll Depart This World for Ever, Surely” sets me up for “Farewell” once more. In this way, In Ruins crafted a record that requires repeat spins to fully appreciate, forging a double edged sword. On one side, each of the first three songs on their own still lacks the same power of the closer despite gaining substance with time. On the other hand, treated as a single unit, We Are All to Perish is a wholly successful and worthy entry into the pantheon of funeral doom.

As a competitor to the standout entities of the funeral field, In Ruins stake a viable claim with We Are All to Perish. To push further into that space and stand out, they’ll need to make each and every track—especially if there are as few as four, like so here—unforgettable in some meaningful way. “Farewell” is a great song, and features elements and ideas that, if capitalized on in future records, might guarantee In Ruins a wider audience and greater acclaim. Until then, rest easy knowing that while We Are All to Perish, we can at least enjoy the path that leads to the end.

So excited about speaking at the #NCSSM #Convocation from the Morganton campus later today and sharing my thoughts about the start of this academic year!

#Convocation talks are boring 😭

Big fun energy at this year’s convocation

(Full story in the ALT description includes my quick-acting influence to make the energy even bigger!)

« Tu sais ce qui lui est arrivé, à ma voisine ?
– Euh… non…
– On lui a sucré le #RSA, pendant trois mois. Elle n’avait que ça, pour vivre. Et pourquoi ?
– …
– Parce qu’elle n’a pas été à une convocation. Sauf que la lettre pour cette #convocation, elle ne l’a jamais reçue ! Et bien sûr c’était à elle de le prouver. Sauf que c’est impossible de prouver qu’on n’a pas reçu quelque chose qu’on n’a pas reçu ! Pendant trois mois, elle a été à la Banque alimentaire, aux #Restosducœur. Tout ça, c’est un temps où elle n’était pas disponible pour chercher un #emploi : elle était occupée à survivre. Et puis, faute de pouvoir payer le loyer, elle a été expulsée de son logement…

A #valedictorian's speech for #medicine #grads at #University of #Manitoba that addressed the war in #Gaza is spurring reactions beyond the #convocation hall, as some students and faculty disagree on whether the message was fit for the moment.

Dr. Gem Newman delivered the 10-minute speech during a convocation ceremony for the #MaxRadyCollege of Medicine at the university's Bannatyne campus.

Ah ben voilà, on me dit ça sur twitter : apparemment les campagnes de radiations pour absence sont bien en route !

#poleemploi #rsa #rua #rendezvous #radiations #convocation

Une copine vient de me dire qu'elle s'est fait convoquer à un rendez-vous pôle emploi par lettre qui prend ~8 jrs*, le 31 août, pr un rdv le 6 septembre !

ATTENTION A VOUS CAMARADES, apparemment pôle-emploi reprend les bonnes vieilles méthodes pour radier en masse.

N'oubliez pas : pour être radié ils doivent vous avoir envoyé un recommandé, contestez avoir reçu la lettre à temps et normalement ils n'ont pas le droit de vous radier pour ça !

A little pomp is deserved. But not too much.

Today was my convocation at McGill. I got to wear my funny anachronistic robes and beefeater cap and walk across the stage to be tapped on the shoulder. *poof* I'm officially and formally SBG, Ph.D.
