Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well, I made it! I started to seriously try solving these in 2018, solving maybe 3 or 4 a year. Then this year something clicked (or broke) and I started solving them more regularly - a couple times a week maybe. So I set a goal to solve one in time to be the setter. I finally made it, and I set the clue for Monday the 28th of March - my birthday!

10/10 for persistence

Blut Aus Nord - That Cannot Be Dreamed[^]
A new single by Blut Aus Nord, released just last week, from their upcoming album.
Blut Aus Nord plays a noisy, atmospheric and psychedelic brand of black metal (they call it avant-garde).
Although Blut Aus Nord calls the black metal scene a bunch of "childish satanic clowns", so maybe I shouldn't call it black metal.
I've known them for years, but especially liked their previous album, Hallucinogen.
Not that I listen to them a lot, it's pretty... uneasy listening.
This new single really convinced me though, it's awesome and really has me looking forward to their new album!

Although I have plenty of examples about church burnings, suicides and murders from that scene, those are the trve and kvlt (and mostly dead or incarcerated) metalheads 🤘
And then there's the people who remain and continue to make music, those are a bunch of posers

Reminded me of a 1950s film score. But those were actually played by orchestras. Vangelis[^]
|

I didn't hear any resemblance between Vangelis' orchestral work and Blut Aus Nord, so not sure what reminded you of this, but nice piece nonetheless

I didn't hear any resemblance either.

Heavy indeed, especially these recurrent riffs, quite depressing, at least for a while
Lately I found again something nice from Peter Goundry, a full album this time
Goëtia - Dark Magic Music | Album - YouTube
the initial track from this album is quite amazing as for my ears ...

|

That one was shared in the SOTW some years ago
It's not in my daily playlist anymore, but it's still somewhere in my liked albums

When Ihe came out it was Daylight savings time...
I had to break the news to him... times have changed...
|
|
|
|

Was it that unexpected after these years?
Daylight saving time needs to go away.

Actually, isn't there a push to change to DST permanently?
