Ghül - Thangorodrim (single, 2023)

Merry New Music Friday to one and all! Are you looking for something to quench your thirst? Could we interest you in perhaps some black metal by way of the UK cos we are happy to bring you a new single by Ghül called Thangorodrim! This almost 10 minute song is an epic of a single. Starting out in a slow build before unleashing into our ears. While not falling into the classic black metal trappings, Ghül gives us a bit of a warmer production that could be a little similar to say Spectral Lore. Thangorodrim might be just a single but it’s building to something and we cannot wait to see what it builds to and we’re all the more excited to hear more.

EP Review: Djinn-Ghül - Mechalith (Vicious Instinct Records)

Mechanised death metal, evolved horror and twisted future shocks.

Divided between Venezuela and the United States, Djinn-Ghül was formed by Grant Nachbur (Nephrectomy, ex-Ritual Aesthetic) and Junior Patiño (Rotten Vomit, Voraraephilia) in 2017, when both wanted to manufacture an oddity death-metal project with the purpose of conceiving an extreme and unconventional sound, while dissolving all expectations of the sub-genre. Now, fast-growing Australian label…

Arrowverse Bruce bio

One man with a gun, two shots into the night, three screams, four people in an alley. That’s how it starts, that’s how it always begins. After his parents’ death, Bruce went into a spiral of depression, and exclusion. He separated himself from former friends (Thomas Elliot, Rachel Dawes, etc.) and became a loner at Gotham Academy. That was the case until he met Oliver Queen, an exchange student from Starling City, and fellow billionaire. The pair instantly hit it off, and became part of a social group that consisted of Tommy Merlyn, Dinah Laurel Lance, and her sister, Sara. Oliver also helped pave the way for Bruce’s future playboy act.

Yet still, something was missing, and after Oliver and Sara’s “deaths”, he left the states in an attempt to train his body and mind to perfection, where he met a member of the League of Assassin’s. The assassin educated Bruce about their ways, and Ra’s al Ghül, their leader. This prompted Bruce to join the League and quickly rise in the ranks, catching the attention of Ra’s, who began to believe Wayne was the successor he sorely needed. Ra’s began personally training Bruce, and allowed a romance to brew between his daughter Talia and Bruce. 

He spent two years under the tutelage of Ra’s, then met Nyssa, Ra’s other daughter. After meeting Nyssa, Bruce realized Sara Lance had also joined the League, and confronted her. The two had a celebration after seeing each other after so many years, and she informed him of Oliver’s survival as well.

This revelation began to twist his heart, and after learning of Ra’s al Ghül’s true intent, he staged a revolt alongside Sara, who had become Nyssa’s lover. The two betrayed the League, and seemingly escaped the Assassins. Bruce attempted to convince Sara to go back with him, but she declined. Wayne returned to Gotham soon after, and became what he was meant to be. Gotham’s Savior.

The Batman.

Myth Anomalies: Undead or Fey

The thing that initially made me want to post about mythology has been strange trend I’ve noticed over the year with regards to a group of mythical creatures who seem stuck between two very distinct categories of monster. Specifically there is a bizarrely large number creatures who seem to blur the thick lines between Fairy and Undead, and the most well known of these cases in the Banshee

In modern pop culture anyone and their mother can tell you what a banshee is. It’s a ghostly woman whose ghastly shriek either foretells death or causes it for all who hear it. What most people, (including the one person I expected to know) don’t realize is that while contemporary Banshee are undead, in their celtic origins they are explicit fairies.

This isn’t some random old source that nobody took seriously. The name banshee (or bænsidhe) literally translates to “Woman of the fairies.” And even more curiously, she’s not the only one affected by this. In fact, she’s not even the only case from irish mythology (although seeing as irish fey are sort of the archetype it’s not all that surprising that they hold the record)

Pictured above is the Headless Horseman, who is about one can get to the Halloween version equivalent of Santa Claus (excluding Jack-o’-Lantern, but more on that soon). In American folklore he is known as a poultergeist of a revolutionary war mercenary who lost his head to a canon ball and now haunts rural new york carrying a pumpkin around as a replacement. While The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow popularized this figure as a form of undead, his origin was as, you guessed it, an irish fairy who was actually a lot like the banshee.

Like the Banshee, the Dullahan (or as it’s known to weeaboos, Durarara™) is a cryptic and unsightly fairy whose purpose was either to foreshadow or sew death with his presence. Unlike the one who attacked Ichabod Crane (that was just some churlish vintage bro with a pumpkin), the Dullahan had a number of properties that marked it’s unnatural and disturbing nature, such as the rotten head it carried around or the whip made from its own spinal cord. Also the horse’s head was bigger than its body so good luck telling me how it got off the ground. It also has an even creepier brother who never made it big enough to be considered undead. from the islands of northern scotland comes the skinless horseman, the Nuckelavee, who looks like what would happen the colossal titan got hot and steamy with some sweet, sweet centaur ass (note: if you have a weak constitution don’t google it. just watch RWBY Season 4 for a toned down version)

Neither of these were truly considered undead at the time they were created, but through Richard Dawkin’s theory of Memetic evolution they have become undead to adapt to a society that is no longer intimidated by fairies. However, in some cases, this exact process has played on in reverse. Take for example the Will-O’-Wisp

Most people see these little globes of light as fireflies without the fly. While some may consider them “fairy lights” the fact of this matter is that Will-O’-Wisps get a bit spookier when we look at that buddy I told you we’d get back to. You see, Will-O’-Wisps were originally called Jack-O’-Lanterns, and their origin story is the reason “Tricking” is a valid alternative to candy.

As follows its mirror image the headless horseman, who started as a race of fairies but became an individual undead, the Jack-O’-Lanterns started off as an individual undead but became a race of fairies. Legend goes that a devious and clever moocher by the name of Stingy Jack proved such a sly bastard that the Devil himself decided to make his acquaintance. When the two met in a bar, Jack talked old scratch into turning himself into a coin so he could scam the hapless waitress into giving him his fill of beer. Once transformed however, Jack stuck the coin into his pocket next to a small cross, preventing the devil from changing back. Basically the guy held the devil hostage until he agreed not to take Jack’s soul when he died, but when that day came even purgatory barred its gates to him, so the devil gave him a lantern and made him fuck off back to earth, where to this day he still pulls tricks by guiding marsh-wanderers into leech-filled bogs

Of course, this trend is not limited to celtic mythology, though given that the word “fairy” tends to only be applied to celtic and germanic spirits we’re going to need an extended definition to see just how global this phenomenon is, so let’s head east across eurasia until we find their middle-eastern counterpart, the djinn, or as they’re more commonly known, Genies

(I wanted to use Robin Williams here but I just couldn’t do that)

See, while we never really make the comparison, the genies of middle eastern myth (djinn, ifrit, marids, divs and ghüls) have all the characteristics of fairies. They’re tricky, magical, intelligent, but are explicitly not infernal in nature, instead being individuals with souls and moral variation.

The first four groups I mentioned above have very little in the way of ambiguity, but for the last, Ghüls, or as we know them, Ghouls, actually have a number of variations, ranging from djinn, to intelligent zombies to demons, degenerated humans and batman villains. However, the most popular version, codified by Gary Gygax and George Romero is the idea of ghouls as cannibalistic and feral undead. Older sources tend to avoid the undead comparison, depicting ghouls as cannibalistic shapeshifters either demonic or eldritch (Note: eldritch originally meant elven), but until a few years ago you could have fooled me.

Okay, moving from genies and continuing our journey east we’re going to come across another group of monsters that we as a society really need to just get over and accept as a type of fae. I’m talking about Yokai, a wide family of japanse spirits including ascended animals (like nine-tailed foxes and tanuki) humanoid monsters and weird-ass sea creatures that will butt-fuck you under water unless you make them bow or give them a cucumber

See, yokai as a class is quite diverse compared to previous definitions, wrapping in unambiguous undead and animated objects in addition to more fairy-like beings. Given a vast tradition equal in size to european myths, I do not have the time or the knowledge to detail each case, but what I can do is point to the Banshee’s asian cousin: the Yuki Onna or “snow woman”

Yuki Onna are, as the translation suggests, beautiful and ethereal women who lure victims into snow sex and then hypothermic cuddling after and most likely have nip-nops hard and pointy enough to cut glass. Like fairies they are beautiful sensual, and dangerously tricky, but like banshees they are often depicted as ghosts, usually ones who now deal in the same hoary fate that resulted in their own death.

Okay, so with the examples above it should be clear to you by now that there are enough examples to treat Undead Fey as a class of mythical creature in their own right, the way we do Dragons. This class needs a name, and I propose we move to change the term Unseelie so that it refer these ambiguous cases, and use Seelie to refer to all fairies or fairy-like spirits, good or evil, who are unambiguously alive. While Unseelie does already have a definition, it’s fuzzy and inconsistent one, this is just too fitting to pass up

Spooktober 10/07: Tails

In order to transcend its spiritual plane of existence, the Ghül must take control of a physical vessel in order to manifest itself in a three-dimensional world. Depending on the vessel, a Ghül’s appearance can change dramatically. However, most tend to take on the physique of a floating, ghostly mass of fabric-looking material surrounded by bright red flames.

Como suele pasar en estos ámbitos, y a pesar e tener ciertos vuelos en el genero, hay algunos grupos de Death Metal con cierto bagaje, que por haber salido de la piel de toro más profunda, no los tenia en mi linea de fuego.

Oniricous es un grupo de Death metal oriundo de las Pedroñeras en Cuenca que surge de las cenizas de otro grupo llamado Ghül.
