I don't think I'll ever fully reach a point where Malacht's "De Mysteriis dom Christi" doesn't scare me. I've listened to some freaky music in my life, but this album, man, it's on a whole other level. I remember where I was on 9/11. I remember where I was when I heard that Michael Jackson died. I remember I was when I first listened to "De Mysteriis Dom Christi." (Roughly the same place I was when I heard that Michael Jackson died.) I thought it was going to be another 5/10 Christian black metal project. About two minutes into the first track I realized that this was not an intro--this was the song! That album is a very cathartic experience. I haven't listened to it all the way through since then. It deserves to be given your full attention. Not background music. It's also funny how that album is much, much scarier than De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

"De Mysteriis Dom Christi." Never heard of this; my first thought was "this must be a joke, please not another bm copy" checked the track out and it´s killer. I love stuff like that. Thanks for posting

If you like dark, atmospheric music, you haven't lived until you've heard Reverorum ib Malacht (and their side project Dödfödd's music, 2015 onward)

that's funny, i find dom christi to be very relaxing, while ter agios on the other hand really freaks me out, sounds like damned souls trying to attack you while being trapped in the music (stupid me played it while i was sleeping, and the next day my mom tells me she was crying in her sleep, even thought i thought it was quiet enough..)

ter agios on the other hand really freaks me out, sounds like damned souls trying to attack you while being trapped in the music I'm curious. As a fellow Malacht fan, what do you think of this music that I released yesterday? It's a little more "raw" and "experimental" than Malacht, but listening back to it, it seems I unintentionally took a lot of inspiration from them.

oddly catchy dance beat emerging from the thick black noise halfway through the second track I do have a strange proclivity of adding dance beats to my blacknoise, haha! Other examples of that, are at the beginning of this track and all throughout this track. Yeah the songs in my first post aren't "very similar" to Malacht, but there are elements that I (unintentionally?) was inspired by. The low, echoing vocals; the jarring blastbeats; the odd song structures; etc Overall thank you for your kind words!

Told people from the very beginning, if they followed the lockdown orders at the beginning, things would get resolved faster. If they didn't listen, things would get worse. But they had to be impulsive, do whatever they wanted, protest in large groups etc and now, as I knew would happen, they're all mad because the lockdowns got extended. Bad part is, all of us have to suffer because of their actions.

My anger issues are getting triggered on the daily by people not wearing masks, ignoring laws, acting like this is no big deal.

I don't see how a lockdown/shutdown/stay-at-home-orders actually prevents cases. The virus isn't gone, its still out in the world. So more like delay cases than prevent them, unless someone wants to ride out this entire thing - however long that takes.
Staying at home only really stops hospitals from being inundated with people, and well, sounds like some hospitals in some areas now, are actually laying off personnel because there's not enough work for them to do. (because everyone's staying home, and some REALLY sick people are too worried to even go to the hospital because they don't want to get even more sick there)

The LA lockdown extended was a rumor. However, I still need to wear a mask and practice social distancing when I go outside or go to work.

At least over here the government said, that lockdown is only happening to gain time that is needed to find a propper medical treatment. Because like you said, the virus is not going away by people staying at home. It just doesn't get a chance to spread that much. But it would be no solution at all to just stay at home for the rest of ones life. Since monday in my country you can visit cafés (with an "outside area") and beer gardens again under some circumstances, distance must be kept etc. Anyway, I hope that by some miracle they will find a treatment soon, because wearing that mask really sucks. I know it is most likely useful and helps staying safe, but it sucks anyway. The masks smell like wet dog, and who would like to have a wet dog hanging in your face while shopping...?

It just dies out. That doesn't completely eradicate it, but it greatly drives down the number of cases. After that, there are other means of combating the virus. See, for example, www.endcoronavirus.org/how-win

Visited home this past weekend. I listened to De Mysteriis Dom Christi while sortakinda trying to fall asleep. Fun times. I forgot how good that album is. It definitely felt more ambient than Im ra distare.

Because like you said, the virus is not going away by people staying at home. It just doesn't get a chance to spread that much. But it would be no solution at all to just stay at home for the rest of ones life. I certainly do see how stay at home orders would help with the spread and hospitals not being inundated with people... but like you said, its not feasible to just stay at home for the rest of our lives. If wearing a mask, being socially distant, washing hands, etc. also helps prevent spread, then.... why is government still mandating a universal lock down? If wearing a mask, being socially distant, washing hands, etc. doesn't work, or isn't effective, then why is it so heavily suggested/mandated? In my state, the governor passed an "emergency rule" effective May 15th, to be able to fine $2500 and jail for one year, any business owner that tries to open their business within the next 150 days. Surely there's a line between "we're all in this together" and government taking away the basic freedom for people to support themselves.

There is, but people don't follow basic laws, so governments resort to extreme measures like fines and jail time. And then they complain about the more extreme laws as if they didn't bring it on themselves.

The people in Chicago may not have been following guidelines because of the totals of people getting sick/dying there... but then the governor makes what applies to Chicago, which has the majority of the state population, apply to the entire state. So in other words, it doesn't make sense to me that the little shop in my village where I get my mower blades resharpened, who can only have 1 customer in the garage at a time anyway, can't reopen without going to jail, all because the millions of people packed into Chicago, didn't properly adhere to social distancing or mask wearing.

why is government still mandating a universal lock down? 1) There's an optimal time for lockdowns 2) Top-down decision making leads to foolishness it doesn't make sense to me that the little shop in my village where I get my mower blades resharpened, who can only have 1 customer in the garage at a time anyway, can't reopen without going to jail, all because the millions of people packed into Chicago, didn't properly adhere to social distancing or mask wearing. See 2) I wrote a large paper about this for a class this semester. Hopefully this paper will be the seed of my Master's thesis (if that even happens). Short version: The government has really screwed a lot of things up.

God, I wish I had more contacts in the scene. I'd love to organize smaller concerts. But without people who can help me with that: not going to happen. Another thing I would love to do is to continue "my" web-zine Eiserner Rhein. But I can't find enough people willing to write for ER and writing much of the stuff on my own is not that much fun. Anyway I'd need somebody who really can do layout. I also would pay for it, but I think I can't efford normal prices when contacting a professional layouter.

I might try my hand at a little concert promotion after we get out of the coronavirus danger zone. I'm mostly worried about being kicked out of the scene when people find out I'm not a communist.

Is conversion to communism mandatory in this business?! It is in the DIY/punk scene. There is a lot of political diversity--socialists, communists, anarchists, and Bernie supporters. I joke, but a lot of the people I rubbed shoulders with in that scene were the kind of people who cheer when a cop dies. On the other hand, there are people in the metal and punk scene who are literal Nazis, so I can kind of understand the overreaction on the other side.
