Golgotha

These three trees in Olsberg have fascinated me for years.
A few years ago, during the severe bark beetle infestation, they were bare and on the verge of dying.
They remind me of the three crosses on Golgotha – and therefore fit perfectly into Holy Week.

Het Ware Kruis (1)

In het jaar 326 bezocht Helena, de moeder van Constantijn de Grote, het Heilig Land. Haar zoon had haar kort daarvoor de rang van augusta gegeven, wat je zou kunnen vertalen als “keizerin”, al betekent het niet dat ze beleid kon maken, uitvoeren of controleren. Ze had echter wél toegang tot de keizerlijke schatkist en kon daardoor het initiatief nemen tot bouwprojecten. In Betlehem legde ze de eerste steen voor de Geboortekerk, in Jeruzalem voor een kerk op de Olijfberg. Een van de aanwezigen was bisschop Eusebios van Caesarea, die enkele jaren later in zijn Leven van Constantijn verslag deed van het bezoek en de werkzaamheden.noot Eusebios, Leven van Constantijn 3.41-42.

Kruisvinding

Wat hij daarbij niet vermeldt, is dat Helena bij die gelegenheid het Ware Kruis zou hebben gevonden: het kruis waaraan Jezus dood zou zijn gemarteld. Christenen hebben de vondst eeuwenlang herdacht met het feest van de Kruisvinding.

Een latere legende vertelt dat Helena op de plek van de Grafbasiliek niet minder dan drie kruisen zou hebben gevonden en had vastgesteld welk het echte was, door het houtwerk te gebruiken om een zieke mee aan te raken. Bij het Ware Kruis genas deze in een handomdraai. De keizerin nam dat kruis mee naar Rome, waar het nog eeuwenlang vereerd zou worden in een kerk die was ingericht in een voormalig keizerlijk paleis, de kerk van Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.

De kapel bestaat nog steeds en u vindt er ook het bordje met het opschrift “Jezus van Nazaret, koning der Joden”, de spijkers waarmee Jezus werd vastgenageld aan het hout, doornen van de doornenkroon, een stukje van de paal waaraan Jezus was vastgebonden bij de geseling, de dwarsbalk van het kruis van de goede moordenaar, een vinger van de ongelovige Thomas en – de laatste keer dat ik er was – een bisschoppelijk goedgekeurde expositie die betoogde dat de Lijkwade van Turijn echt authentiek was en dat wetenschappers met hun koolstofdateringen er niks van begrijpen. Getuige het beledigende mailtje dat ik vorige week ontving zijn er nog steeds mensen die niet willen begrijpen wat wetenschap is.

Vroege kruisverering

De legende zijn pas later ontstaan en de vraag dringt zich op waar ze vandaan komt. Eén ding is zeker: Eusebios weet van niets, terwijl hij een ontdekking als deze, als hij er bij was geweest, zeker niet onvermeld zou hebben gelaten. Maar er circuleerden al verhalen over het kruis. Het tweede-eeuwse, apocriefe Evangelie van Petrus bevat bijvoorbeeld een exuberante beschrijving van Jezus’ opstanding, waarbij – ik verzin het ook niet – het kruis sprekend wordt opgevoerd.

Deze tekst illustreert dat er mensen waren die het kruis beschouwden als een belangrijk onderdeel van hun geloof. Een inscriptie uit de omgeving van het Algerijnse Sétif documenteert de verering van “hout van het kruis uit het Beloofde Land” in het jaar 359.noot EDCS-70200001.. Je zou je kunnen voorstellen dat geestelijken die wilden benadrukken dat Christus weliswaar goddelijk was maar ook echt als mens had geleden, lichamelijk dus, als eersten het materiële aspect van de kruisiging hebben benadrukt. Er was in elk geval voldaan aan de voorwaarden om relikwieën van het kruis te gaan vereren.

De eerste zekere vermelding van de verering van het kruishout in Jeruzalem is te vinden bij Egeria, een voorname pelgrim die Jeruzalem bezocht rond het jaar 383. Ze vertelt:

Dan wordt een zetel voor de bisschop neergezet, achter het kruisbeeld dat daar nu staat. De bisschop neemt plaats op de zetel; een tafel met een linnen kleed wordt voor hem neergezet en rondom de tafel staan dia­kens. Dan brengt men een verguld zilveren kistje met daarin het heilige hout van het kruis: het wordt geopend en men haalt het eruit en het wordt op de tafel gezet, zowel het hout van het kruis als het opschrift.

Zodra dat op tafel is gezet, houdt de bisschop met beide handen, zittend, de uiteinden van het heilig hout vast, terwijl de rondom staande diakens het bewaken. De reden van die bewaking is deze: het is gewoonte dat men een voor een naar voren komt, heel het volk, zowel gelovigen als doopleerlin­gen, en voorover buigt naar de tafel, het heilig hout kust en dan verder loopt; maar ooit, ik weet niet wanneer, heeft iemand naar men zegt erin gebeten en een stukje van het heilig hout gestolen. Daarom wordt het nu door de rond­om staande diakens bewaakt, zodat niemand die naar voren komt dat nog eens durft te doen.noot Egeria, Reisverslag 37; vert. Vincent Hunink.

Uit de daarop volgende jaren zijn meer verslagen, waarin we de legende beginnen te herkennen. Misschien is er overigens een vermelding vóór Egeria. Kyrillos, die tussen 350 en 386 bisschop was van Jeruzalem, noemt dat in de Grafbasiliek Golgotha werd vereerd en dat “de hele wereld is gevuld met stukken kruishout”.noot Kyrillos van Jeruzalem, Mystagogische Katechese 4.10 en 13.4. Hoewel hij niet expliciet zegt dat ook in Jeruzalem het kruis werd vereerd, lijkt het er wel op. Het probleem is dat de datering van deze tekst niet helemaal duidelijk is. Steeds meer onderzoekers plaatsen ze tegen het einde van Kyrillos’ leven of nemen aan dat de teksten niet door hemzelf zijn geschreven.

Dit lijkt zeker: er circuleerden al vroeg verhalen over het kruis; relieken werden al vroeg overal vereerd; na 380 is er documentatie voor verering van het kruis in Jeruzalem. Je zou zeggen: het begon met de verering van crucifixen, waaruit in het derde kwart van de vierde eeuw de verering van het Ware Kruis in Jeruzalem is ontstaan, samen met de kiemen van een legende dat dit stuk hout door Helena was gevonden tijdens de regering van Constantijn.

Hay temporada nueva de #LoveDeathAndRobots, y allá que voy!! :blobCatBounce:

Me ha gustado mucho la premisa de #Golgotha #Gólgota 🤔

Golgotha, de Love, Death & Robots, é mais um dos raros episódios em live-action. Nele, percebi duas críticas:

1. Como a humanidade é nociva para outras espécies.

2. Como atrocidades são cometidas em nome de religião.

Unbounded Terror – Something Is Rotten in Humanity Review

By Mark Z.

Unlike other major European countries, Spain has never been much of a hotbed for death metal, presumably because they’ve been too busy perfecting their paella (holy shit is that stuff good). That hasn’t stopped Spanish death metal bands from trying to make their mark, however, and possibly the first to make such an attempt was Unbounded Terror. Led by guitarist Vicente Payá, the group initially only managed to release one album, 1992’s Nest of Affliction, before going kaput. Vincente went on to be more prolific with his doom/death band Golgotha before eventually resurrecting Unbounded Terror for 2020’s Faith in Chaos. That album turned out to be a nice little pre-COVID surprise, deviating from Nest of Affliction’s Obituary-gone-atmospheric style in favor of something simpler, catchier, and better produced. The follow-up, 2022’s Echoes of Despair, was another enjoyable release that showed Golgotha’s more melodic tendencies bleeding into the Unbounded Terror formula, an influence that wasn’t entirely surprising given that the two groups also share bassist/vocalist Andrew Spinosa. Now, Vicente has somehow found time between all the fucking projects he’s involved with (including Holycide, Sons of Cult, and a bunch of other stuff I’ve never heard of) to unleash a fourth Unbounded Terror album, Something Is Rotten in Humanity. That title seems more true with each passing day. But what of the music within?

A lot of death metal released today can be readily defined by which old school band it mainly sounds like (usually Incantation, Autopsy, or Entombed/Dismember). In the case of Something Is Rotten, that band is Monstrosity. Like those Floridians, this album offers death metal that almost no fan of the genre would take issue with. The tempos are fast, but not too fast. The vocals are gurgly, but not stupidly so. The production is balanced and polished, but not to the point that it makes things feel sterile. And the riffs? They’re fine, too.

Initially, the approach works. “Fear of Dying” opens the record like a big greasy fist to the face, with meaty chugging riffs that give way to groaning tremolos before a nice melodic lick bursts in partway through. The Monstrosity comparison is especially apt with this track, but even those looking for a more measured version of Cannibal Corpse are likely to find enjoyment here (and elsewhere, for that matter). “Destiny of Evil” quickly mixes things up with blast beats, gyrating tremolos, a winding solo, and even some raspier vocals, while “Demons in Your Mind” works well enough by using a peppy, mid-paced beat to propel a tightly wound, pig-fart verse riff.

Sadly, it soon becomes apparent that “Demons” seems to have served as the template for most of the six tracks that follow. Other than its cleanly picked opening, “Reviving” sounds far too similar to “Demons,” and it took me a couple of listens to realize that the pause between “Reviving” and “Inside Death” was a transition between songs and not a false ending to the former track. Later songs like “Divine Virtue” and “Believing Again” also have a similar feel to “Demons” but are somehow even less compelling, causing the album’s 32-minute runtime to drag more than it should. Ironically, “The Disappointment” is actually one of the strongest cuts in the album’s second half, with a cruising, groovy swagger that its neighboring tracks lack. The instrumental closer “The Evil Cause” is another standout, as its crunchy and confident main riff at least offers something different. As another plus, the solos of lead guitarist Ancor Ramírez (Holycide) are fantastic throughout, with a rich sense of melody and a glorious feel that’s often lacking in death metal leads.

Overall, Something Is Rotten is a perfectly competent death metal record. It falls short, however, by not being anything else. Other than a few good songs and some great guitar solos, everything here is serviceable but not particularly notable, which is especially disappointing given how many standout ideas could be found on the two prior albums. Ultimately, it’s not bad, it’s not great, but at least it offers a nice break from masturbating to the thought of the next COVID variant wiping out me and the eight billion other naked apes that have infested this planet like a black mold. Sometimes, that’s all we can ask for.

In the case of Something Is Rotten, that band is Monstrosity. Like those Floridians, this album offers death metal that almost no fan of the genre would take issue with. The tempos are fast, but not too fast. The vocals are gurgly, but not stupidly so. The production is balanced and polished, but not to the point that it makes things feel sterile. And the riffs? They’re fine, too.

Initially, the approach works. “Fear of Dying” opens the record like a big greasy fist to the face, with meaty chugging riffs that give way to groaning tremolos before a nice melodic lick bursts in partway through. The Monstrosity comparison is especially apt with this track, but even those looking for a more measured version of Cannibal Corpse are likely to find enjoyment here (and elsewhere, for that matter). “Destiny of Evil” quickly mixes things up with blast beats, gyrating tremolos, a winding solo, and even some raspier vocals, while “Demons in Your Mind” works well enough by using a peppy, mid-paced beat to propel a tightly wound, pig-fart verse riff.

Sadly, it soon becomes apparent that “Demons” seems to have served as the template for most of the six tracks that follow. Other than its cleanly picked opening, “Reviving” sounds far too similar to “Demons,” and it took me a couple of listens to realize that the pause between “Reviving” and “Inside Death” was a transition between songs and not a false ending to the former track. Later songs like “Divine Virtue” and “Believing Again” also have a similar feel to “Demons” but are somehow even less compelling, causing the album’s 32-minute runtime to drag more than it should. Ironically, “The Disappointment” is actually one of the strongest cuts in the album’s second half, with a cruising, groovy swagger that its neighboring tracks lack. The instrumental closer “The Evil Cause” is another standout, as its crunchy and confident main riff at least offers something different. As another plus, the solos of lead guitarist Ancor Ramírez (Holycide) are fantastic throughout, with a rich sense of melody and a glorious feel that’s often lacking in death metal leads.

Overall, Something Is Rotten is a perfectly competent death metal record. It falls short, however, by not being anything else. Other than a few good songs and some great guitar solos, everything here is serviceable but not particularly notable, which is especially disappointing given how many standout ideas could be found on the two prior albums. Ultimately, it’s not bad, it’s not great, but at least it offers a nice break from masturbating to the thought of the next COVID variant wiping out me and the eight billion other naked apes that have infested this planet like a black mold. Sometimes, that’s all we can ask for.

Unbounded Terror – Something Is Rotten in Humanity Review

By Mark Z.

Unlike other major European countries, Spain has never been much of a hotbed for death metal, presumably because they’ve been too busy perfecting their paella (holy shit is that stuff good). That hasn’t stopped Spanish death metal bands from trying to make their mark, however, and possibly the first to make such an attempt was Unbounded Terror. Led by guitarist Vicente Payá, the group initially only managed to release one album, 1992’s Nest of Affliction, before going kaput. Vincente went on to be more prolific with his doom/death band Golgotha before eventually resurrecting Unbounded Terror for 2020’s Faith in Chaos. That album turned out to be a nice little pre-COVID surprise, deviating from Nest of Affliction’s Obituary-gone-atmospheric style in favor of something simpler, catchier, and better produced. The follow-up, 2022’s Echoes of Despair, was another enjoyable release that showed Golgotha’s more melodic tendencies bleeding into the Unbounded Terror formula, an influence that wasn’t entirely surprising given that the two groups also share bassist/vocalist Andrew Spinosa. Now, Vicente has somehow found time between all the fucking projects he’s involved with (including Holycide, Sons of Cult, and a bunch of other stuff I’ve never heard of) to unleash a fourth Unbounded Terror album, Something Is Rotten in Humanity. That title seems more true with each passing day. But what of the music within?
