  1. RE: flipboard.com/@pitchfork/news-

    My favourite band calls it a day. I am happy to have seen them live last October in Riga. Turns out this was one of their final shows. It was super good. Fortunately #Jesu will continue. I wish Justin K. Broadrick quick recovery.

  2. Ich bin nun auch wieder mit meinem 3. Versuch zurück auf Mastodon an alle und an den Zensor und Glaubensbruder (Christ) @ThomasP von seinem Mastodon-Server elizur.me, aber dieses Mal nun über einen anderen und auch neuen Server-Betreiber von Kanoa (AdminForge).

    Es wird vorerst nur noch über Kanoa ( kanoa.de/@eleazar ) neue Posts von mir auf Mastodon geben, da es über dem alten Account ( elizur.me/@eleazar ) und bei dem alten Server-Betreiber leider nicht mehr geht, da ich von ihm stumm geschaltet worden bin.

    Also er hat mich damit mundtot gemacht und mir somit ein Maulkorb verpasst, und das sogar auch ohne Angabe von einem (triftigen) Grund.

    Jedoch wird auch niemand die Wahrheit aufhalten oder gar unterdrücken können, auch kein Glaubensbruder o. sonst irgendjemand, wofür der Gott der Bibel auch sorgen wird.

    Mal schauen, wie es nun hier weitergehen wird und ihr könnt auf neue Posts von mir gespannt sein, die ehrlich und direkt sind.

    Ich wünsche euch allen & ganz besonders @ThomasP den Gottes reichen Segen.

    PS: Wer mir folgen möchte, kann dies gerne tun, wenn nicht schon geschehen. ( @linuxnews & @atixag )

    PPS: Bei Disroot & Akkoma (Pleroma) hat mir das nicht so gefallen, auch wenn es dort ein paar andere & auch gute Funktionen gibt, weshalb ich doch lieber direkt hier bei Mastodon dauerhaft bleiben möchte.

  6. 3/2
    I started out as a big fan of #Jesu in late 2000s and mostly didn't get Godflesh. But I gradually started to get them. These days I still very much like older Jesu stuff but Godflesh is the metal act I listen to most often. Interestingly, Jesu hasn't put out any good records since 2010. However, all three albums by Godflesh that are released after their reunion (2014, 2017, 2023) are great. How can one artist be so "uneven" in different projects?

  7. @Infojunkie22

    Aus meiner Sicht schließen sich ein auch historisch-kritisch verstandenes #Christentum & jede Form von #Nationalismus, #Rassismus, #Antisemitismus, ja #Dualismus grundlegend aus. Rabbi #Jehoschua, griechisch #Jesu lehrte den #Mosesbund für jüdische & den #Noahbund für alle Menschen. Ein US-Pastor formulierte die Absage an den sog. "Christlichen Nationalismus" neulich so: youtube.com/shorts/4n2VeOMT0gQ

  8. It's Justin K Broadrick Sunday!

    Started off with some Jesu, but finishing with Godflesh and Fall of Because.

    This dude is a legend.

  9. Black Aleph – Apsides Review

    By Dear Hollow

    Black Aleph is a sonic experiment devoted to ritual. Debut Apsides, while short, is nothing short of perplexing in its evasion of genre trappings, ultimately making some form of drone metal with folk instruments, imbued with post-metal’s metamorphic crescendos. However, the value lies behind these descriptors, with a distinct ritualistic heart beating beneath as its Middle Eastern modal traditions guide the movements—a divine and otherworldly experience. Don’t misunderstand, Apsides will still crush you, but just as much in its serenity as its dense guitar riffs—the weight it conjures is a suggestion and anticipation of punishment rather than a rod brandished. The result is haunting and unique, but brimming with more potential than it capitalizes upon.

    Black Aleph is a trio from Australia, its Sydney- and Melbourne-based members comprised other acts from the country’s weirder underground offerings. Aside from respective solo offerings, guitar and effects wizard Lachlan Dale hails from maqam-centric acts like Hashshashin and the Arya Ensemble,1 cellist Peter Hollo lends his eerie drones in post-rock/electronic collectives like Tangents, Haunts, and FourPlay String Quartet, and dar player/setarist Timothy Johannessen plays in the folk-inclined Mehr Ensemble. Johannessen and Dale’s respective roots in Arabic, Iranian, and Persian folk music pronounce the motifs that Black Aleph utilizes. The trio has been compared to renowned experimental acts like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Justin Broadrick, and Jesu, while associated with members of We Lost the Sea and Sunn O))). However, Black Aleph plays more in line with Hashshashin or countrymates Omahara in the blurring of drone and folk, ever-punishing and ever-organic.

    Black Aleph deals in a style that balances weight, tension, and melody. Just as in Godspeed’s Lift Your Skinny Fists…, chord progressions throughout Apsides are layered with tension, bated breath between dissonance and harmony. While layered with ominous droning doom riffs (“Descent,” “Precession”), the crescendos within its micro-movements prove the most intriguing. Whether it be its dancing and complex rhythms (“Return”), climbing arpeggios (the “Ambit” duo), or gradual uses of volume and curious motifs (“Separation,” “Return”) the best uses of the percussive daf are utilized in quieter moments, creating a pulsing undercurrent of mystery and frailty rather than the punishing drums they pretend to be in the more droning cuts. These more gentle movements gradually increase in girth with post-rock intention, erupting in satisfying droning climaxes (“Ambit II (Aphelion),” “Return”). While droning guitars are relatively straightforward, their acoustic instruments—setar, daf, cello, and violin2—provide Black Aleph an easy and effective bridge between droning metal and folk motifs, as the songs are constructed safely and neatly.

    Black Aleph’s voiceless music creates a greater impetus to focus on the songwriting, and unfortunately, Apsides suffers from moments of directionless meandering and awkwardly curtailed movements. In general, the lack of vocals is a critique depending on the listener. In a manner of songwriting, however, the best crescendo occurs in “Ambit II (Aphelion)” and no track following lives up to this peak, although others attempt to scale it (“Separation,” “Return”). While noodling occurs throughout (i.e. “Ambit I (Ascension)”), it overwhelms the moments of climax, leading tracks plummeting to the ground, especially in the limp closer “Occultation,” whose wonky rhythms and skronky setar rob the guitars of needed weight. Most frustrating with Black Aleph is that, although each track is neatly composed and competently executed, the album at large feels too short and abrupt. Apisdes’ thirty-minute runtime feels too short like Black Aleph missed the chance to adequately flesh out their ideas when eschewing drone metal’s tendency towards lengthy offerings.

    Apsides offers a unique sound, hindered by its own ambition. Although the songs are too short and performances can be shortsighted, Black Aleph has an endlessly intriguing premise and unique execution. Ritualistic rhythms, Middle Eastern motifs, droning riffs, and otherworldly drive collide in an album that largely succeeds. It’s good that I want to hear more of Black Aleph, because I think their next album will be better than Apsides.

Whether it be its dancing and complex rhythms (“Return”), climbing arpeggios (the “Ambit” duo), or gradual uses of volume and curious motifs (“Separation,” “Return”) the best uses of the percussive daf are utilized in quieter moments, creating a pulsing undercurrent of mystery and frailty rather than the punishing drums they pretend to be in the more droning cuts. These more gentle movements gradually increase in girth with post-rock intention, erupting in satisfying droning climaxes (“Ambit II (Aphelion),” “Return”). While droning guitars are relatively straightforward, their acoustic instruments—setar, daf, cello, and violin2—provide Black Aleph an easy and effective bridge between droning metal and folk motifs, as the songs are constructed safely and neatly.

    Black Aleph’s voiceless music creates a greater impetus to focus on the songwriting, and unfortunately, Apsides suffers from moments of directionless meandering and awkwardly curtailed movements. In general, the lack of vocals is a critique depending on the listener. In a manner of songwriting, however, the best crescendo occurs in “Ambit II (Aphelion)” and no track following lives up to this peak, although others attempt to scale it (“Separation,” “Return”). While noodling occurs throughout (i.e. “Ambit I (Ascension)”), it overwhelms the moments of climax, leading tracks plummeting to the ground, especially in the limp closer “Occultation,” whose wonky rhythms and skronky setar rob the guitars of needed weight. Most frustrating with Black Aleph is that, although each track is neatly composed and competently executed, the album at large feels too short and abrupt. Apisdes’ thirty-minute runtime feels too short like Black Aleph missed the chance to adequately flesh out their ideas when eschewing drone metal’s tendency towards lengthy offerings.

    Apsides offers a unique sound, hindered by its own ambition. Although the songs are too short and performances can be shortsighted, Black Aleph has an endlessly intriguing premise and unique execution. Ritualistic rhythms, Middle Eastern motifs, droning riffs, and otherworldly drive collide in an album that largely succeeds. It’s good that I want to hear more of Black Aleph, because I think their next album will be better than Apsides.

    Zur Kenntnisnahme, #Erleuchtung und Weiterleitung an Ihre Glaubensgeschwister in der #Hoffnung, dass die deutsche #Christenheit endlich aufwacht.

    Der #Zionismus ist ein #Sektenglaube ohne genuine #Gottesfurcht und fern jeder auch nur im Ansatz wahrhaften #Religion.

    Der "Staat #Israel" ist weder der Staat #Mose noch der Staat #Jesu. Er ist ein militaristischer #Götzenstaat Herzels und Ben Gurions.

    Grüße und einen beseelten #Sonntag,
