Faydark’s Lost Empires is Dungeon Synth straight from Columbus via Springfield, Ohio’s Dungeon Synth label Dungeon Deep Records. I don’t know why I was sent Faydark instead of VM.
True Norwegian Black Metal’s author Pete Beste ordered Faydark from Dungeon Deep…
Perhaps Faydark is the Dungeon Deep hit. Dungeon Synth is a genre which I’d like to call Adult Contemporary Black Metal. Dungeon Synth replaces guitars, and screaming with synthesizers.
It isn’t quite that easy to compare dungeon synth with fusion jazz Weather Report or hardcore post-punk turned house deejays. Dungeon Synth orgins are 90’s Black Metal.
Mortiis of Emperor liked Klaus Shulze, early Pink Floyd and German electronic music. Mortis started in metal as a fan of W.A.S.P. with a love of porn star Samantha Fox. I would call Tangerine Dream a maturation from Blackie Lawless. I won’t slut shame Samantha Fox. He wasn’t super technical so electronic music fit his skill set.

Don Bryant will be speaking about his recent trip to the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability and his local activities for peace and justice in the Middle East. Don was born in 1956 in Maumee, Ohio. In 1980, Don woke up to community activism after attending his first rally, the tenth commemoration of the May 4 shootings of Kent State students by the Ohio National Guard. He then joined a local campaign, Save Our State from Radioactive Waste (SOS). The campaign was a success in halting the US Department of Energy from storing nuclear waste in the salt mines under Lake Erie. During the 1980s, He joined the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. In 2002, when anti-Muslim bias was rising, Don joined with members of Women Speak Out for Peace and Justice to co-found the Greater Cleveland Immigrant Support Network. He joined the Cleveland Peace Action (CPA) Board of Directors in 2016 and serves as co-chair of the CPA Middle East Committee. Don is now CPA Board president.
thank you sammy roth for this important piece.
it's horrifying to see apostles of hate like vance, trump, bannon et al trashing the vital humanitarian creed for which this great pope worked in such good faith. it's clear that if jesus himself came back to preach the loving gospel he created, the MAGA hordes would have him again crucified.
it's also horrifying to see the ecological nightmare california's utilities have imposed on us. the fires that ravaged pacific palisades were clearly climate induced, then sparked by their incompetent in ability to safely maintain power lines.
had los angeles been rightfully covered in solar panels, connected with micro-grids, as would best be for our economy and much more, those fires would never have happened.

Has any Ohio citizen-led amendment worked this hard, overcome so many hurdles, and faced such disingenuous opposition from their own state government to get its constitutional amendment in front of voters?
“No,” Cynthia Brown said bluntly to the Free Press. Brown is the energy and leadership behind the Ohio Coalition To End Qualified Immunity.
Wen it comes to changing the policy which shields Ohio law enforcement from civil litigation after violating the civil rights of those they’ve sworn to protect, the Ohio Coalition To End Qualified Immunity (OCTEQI) always knew the challenge would be daunting. Afterall, they were up against the GOP-besieged executive offices of the Ohio Statehouse, which rejected their amendment nine times, making them re-start the process from the beginning each and every time.
Columbus Women’s Chorus, central Ohio’s only feminist chorus, will continue celebrating its 35th year with the world premiere of a commissioned work Dance the Wind, with music by Assistant Artistic Director / Accompanist Sheena Phillips and lyrics by soprano Bobbie Brooks. The Artistic Director is Lisa Springer.
The chorus will perform a wide variety of contemporary music, from folk to classical to blues, with new repertoire plus favorites chosen by members of the chorus, now 80 singers strong.
Due to a sold out concert last November, there will be two shows this spring.
Saturday May 3 and Sunday May 4

93 W. Weisheimer Rd. in the Clintonville neighborhood

About half of all waters in the United States are too polluted for swimming, fishing, or drinking.
That, according to advocates, is why we need the Great Lakes and State Waters Bill of Rights, a new law which was introduced into the New York legislature by Assemblyman Patrick Burke (District 142) on March 19th.
