Oh. It looked like the cover would be a lot nicer than that from the teasers.

No matter, still excited

Who I don’t listen that often, so that when I do it’s all the more wonderful and rewarding.

Weird since I listened to The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion once or twice every day for at least three months, but it’s fine by me

50 songs that I’ve found important: Burzum - Det Som En Gang Var

I’ve been seeing a lot of arguments about production values recently and I just posted a 50 songs entry about ‘noise’, so I figured this one could accompany Magrudergrind quite nicely.

Having some mastery over the violent forces of this music enables you to see and appreciate the other more artistic forces which can be at work. They’re not really there with the ultra-violence of Magrudergrind, but they are with Burzum.

I think to some degree it’s important to grow up with the Slipknots and Panteras for this reason. It’s simple and often immature music but it lets distortion and harsh vocals into your system early, so its presence doesn’t concern you later on. Then, when you go on to listen to music like Burzum, you aren’t preoccupied with how heavy or aggressive it is; you’re able to listen to everything else and take it in properly. It’s the repetition and the structure that make this an absolute spell, as I gather was the intention. The raw guitars and vocals are used simply as the most suitable medium to express it.

(For an extreme and impenetrable interpretation of Hvis, try the pretentious and possibly satirical writings of anus.com as food for thought. Just be sure to take it with a fistful of salt)

Far too many people say that metal or extreme music are incredibly diverse genres simply because they can be played at different speeds and incorporate any number of novelty instruments. That’s not why it’s diverse - it’s diverse because cerebral, mystical Burzum can co-exist with blunt, vicious Magrudergrind under one umbrella or another and be worthy of their place.

50 songs that I’ve found important: Magrudergrind - Excommunicated

This comes in as the song that I think helped me put into words why I love extreme music.

There comes a point where you have to give in to the common perception that it is ‘just noise’. The song has clearly been composed like any other music with rhythm, melody, harmony and intent, but its appeal is in the violence and in the noise which is too pure to have any other manifestation outside of music. It is both horrifying and reassuring that this can exist - to understand it (and as a result, hold power over it) is, I think, what rewards you as a listener. Not being afraid. It was listening to Excommunicated as I was first getting into powerviolence that helped me realise this.

Over the days and years we build up debris - expectations, stress, emotional baggage, exaggerated ideas of ourselves and our experiences - sometimes I think it’s necessary to rip all of that to shreds, obliterate it as a means of cleansing. To do that takes destructive music and this fits the bill better than anything.
