Back in 2016, I was convinced that, had Bernie Sanders won the Democratic presidential nomination, he would have beaten Donald Trump because he would have taken some of Trump’s White working-class voters.

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.

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.

One might well ask how a group composed of little more than 3% of the US population has managed to gain control of the nation’s foreign policy, its legislature and executive branches, its media, its entertainment industry, its financial institutions, and its elite universities while also making the United States subservient to the wishes of a monstrous small state located seven thousand miles away and composed of its coreligionists? Well, it helps to have a great deal of money liberally applied to corrupt the existing political and economic systems, but that is not necessarily a good place to start as one might reflexively be accused of wielding a trope much favored by antisemites when discussing Zionist Jews, the group of which we are speaking. Alternatively perhaps, one might take an oblique approach by observing how the highly privileged and protected Zionists in question get rich living in America while having true loyalty to apartheid Israel, something that normally might be considered untenable if not borderline treasonous.
