The Ancestors

Before divine selection could take place and the Tetrarch could begin, the deities had to choose what would inhabit their world. They would need to be adaptable enough to survive the ecological shock, and able to form a functional ecosystem from the beginning, but the rest was up to the deities’ own inscrutable choices. The majority of colonists were sourced from Earth’s Holocene epoch, but a handful of the founders were inexplicably from various other time periods. To allow more ecologically complex organisms to survive colonization, the cherry-picked settlers were introduced in successive waves, each supporting the next. The first assisted in the final steps of terraforming, the hardiest microbes starting or regulating such vital processes as oxygenation and the carbon cycle. Each wave that followed increased in size and diversity, until the Tetrarch’s founding menagerie was complete. This eclectic sample of Earth would give rise to every oddity making up the Tetrarch’s biosphere, the primordial ancestors from which all of its life descends. What follows is a list of these ancestors at the time that the Tetrarch was ready to begin, not including the myriad unicellular organisms and viruses whose descendants are also important. Plants and Algae -Brazilian Waterweed (Egeria densa) -Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) -Erect Prickly Pear (Opuntia stricta) -Grasses (~ 5 species) -Hooker’s Chives (Allium hookeri) -Leptosporangiate Ferns (~ 5 species) -Lithops (~ 5 species) -Mosses (~ 5 species) -Macroscopic Algae (~ 25 species, including Undaria and Acetabularia) -Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) -Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) -Turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum) Vertebrates -African Clawed Frog (Xenopus laevis) -Banded Knifefish (Gymnotus carapo) -Conodonts (~ 5 species) -Hapalops sp. -Longspined Porcupinefish (Diodon holocanthus) -Pacific Viperfish (Chauliodus macouni) -Spiny Softshell Turtle (Apalone spinifera) -Star-Nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) Arthropods -Atlantic Horseshoe Crab (Limulus polyphemus) -Coccus Soft Scales (~ 5 species) -Copepods (~ 25 species) -Earwigs (~ 5 species) -Goose Barnacles (~ 5 species) -Hoverflies (~ 5 species) -Lacewings (~ 5 species) -Mites (~ 25 species) -Pseudoscorpions (~ 5 species) -Rainbow Mantis Shrimp (Pseudosquilla ciliata) -Springtails (~ 15 species) -Water Fleas (~ 5 species) Molluscs -Applesnails (~ 5 species) -Hippurites sp. -Sea Angels (~ 5 species) -Sea Butterflies (~ 5 species) -Venus Clams (~ 5 species) Other Animals -Arrow Worms (~ 5 species) -Brittle Stars (~ 5 species) -Clitellate Worms (~ 15 species, including leeches, earthworms, and naidids) -Demosponges (~ 10 species) -Dugesia Planarians (~ 5 species) -Nematodes (~ 300 species) -Rotifers (~ 5 species) -Tardigrades (~ 5 species) -Velvet Worms (~ 5 species) Fungi -Collared Earthstar (Geastrum triplex) -Lichens (~ 5 species) -Molds (~ 50 species)

Cane Hill - A Piece of Me I Never Let You Find

It was in the early days of this blog, 2017-2018, that a supposed nu metal revival was brewing and being spearheaded by a vibrant new generation who grew up with (hopefully) the wheat rather than the chaff of the 90’s nu metal movement as their inspiration. There were a lot of names being thrown around regarding who was going to be the decisive band to really bring nu metal back and Cane Hill was not one of them, at least not as much as other acts like Vein.fm, Vended, Tetrarch, Loathe, etc.

There were definitely others, but I struggle to remember who exactly, precisely because that fabled nu metal revival never really materialized as such, and the bands associated with it pretty much all got absorbed into the larger metallic hardcore/metalcore movement, probably because those bands were also largely heavily influenced by 2000’s metalcore and hardcore as well.

Consequently, being wrapped up into the more burgeoning movement and keeping up with its glitchy synthetics and angular riffing kind of sandblasted away any nu metal elements beyond open-string chugging, gritty industrial elements, and dissonant clean chords. It’s hard to really say if this was for better or for worse in the long run in general, as the modern metalcore movement has definitely produced some excellent crop from the likes of nu-metal-associated acts like Tallah, Northlane, and Dealer.

Modern metalcore hasn’t all been peaches and cream of course; there’s been a parallel movement among bands like Bad Omens, Wage War and a million other I swear to god AI-generated copy-cat-ass boring bands of very pop-focused alternative rock with occasional metalcore grooves. I’ve stated my support for metal bands doing this kind of thing well, but it’s now like THIS is the new metalcore revival: a few bands sometimes doing a cool thing with a very hot sound and countless cheap imitations. Bad Omens has some gems, Wage War has some gems, but overall I really dislike the general influence they have had on metalcore.

Cane Hill was THE band I was waving the flag for when a nu metal revival seemed prime for takeoff. Their 2016 debut, Smile, was a nasty and infectious rager that wore the band’s early Korn and Slipknot influence shamelessly on its sleeve. The album’s lyrics were gritty and pissed off and direct in the way that premium nu metal is, and aimed at American racism and white Christian nationalism without the cringeworthy trappings of teen angst that were the pitfall of so many nu metal bands. And their sophomore follow-up in 2018 with Too Far Gone kept the momentum of their debut going strong in all departments. The band went off on a brief acoustic tangent with the Jar of Flies-influenced EP, Kill the Sun, in 2019, which I wasn’t too impressed or upset by, especially given its acknowledged off-course nature. That said the band’s momentum definitely took a hit when, for whatever reason, they separated from Rise Records and went independent in 2020.

They released a few very solid EPs and singles that took on a more modern styling and highlighted their metalcore influences with excellent glitchy metalcore highlights like the frenzied “Power of the High”, the righteous anti-theocracy “God Is the Enemy”, and glitchy death blasting “A Form of Protest”, but the past four years have been slow for Cane Hill, and any hope that they’d be the band to rejuvenate the style of nu metal they started with is pretty much evaporated.

So where to next for them? Back to the raw nu metal of Smile? Forward with the volatile industrial nu-metalcore of Krew de la Mort? After 6 years, the band’s third studio album, is, tragically, a much worse third thing. I don’t know if it has to do with their new label, Out of Line, or if it’s desperation, but on A Piece of Me I Never Let You Find, Cane Hill have surrendered to the gravity of the melodic alt metalcore trend of aping Bad Omens and have released the most unmemorable and bland music of their entire career. In hindsight, there were some signs during their independent season, like the post-grunge droning melody of “All We Know” and the similar melodicism of “Blood and Honey”, but those were lone tracks in a transitional era juxtaposed against other hard-hitting and promising cuts from that era.

I could get into the details of the album and the minor highlights (none of which are nearly worth returning to) and worst offenders, but it’s honestly not worth it. Any new band who’s put out an album in the last two years with gamer-ass computer-generated cover art with the left third covered with a solid bar with the band’s name and album details written sideways, sounds just like this. Where once the guitars hit like a ton of bricks now they do little more than wash in with a haze of synthesizers, and where once Elijah Witt’s shouted with such conviction and fury I felt secondhand vocal soreness now he croons and falsettos like he’s doing a Sleep Token impression, and I have torn into that band enough already.

In my mind, as someone who likes to engage with art thoughtfully and dissectingly, the worst kind of music really is the kind that’s just so mid that there’s nothing to it. It’s just filler, background noise. Not like ambient music, which is crafted to be hypnotic or even just background-setting intentionally. Slop. Generic death metal with no riffs and cheap gory lyrics. Meandering and unimaginative black metal. Paint-by-numbers pop songs about heartbreak. So what’s there interesting to say about the music here and not just the context of its failure? I mean I feel like it’s not even a style that the band couldn’t necessarily execute well, but their hearts aren’t in it, at least not from what it sounds like here. It sounds so stale and lifeless, and there’s gotta be some connection, however tenuous, between this album and the looming consequences of the massive failure to cultivate an energized labor-driven populist movement in place of status quo neoliberalism. I don’t know, it’s definitely harsh to compare my disappointment in Kamala Harris and the dems in America not preventing the takeover of government by fascists with their tired and uninspiring rhetoric to my disappointment in Cane Hill sounding hollow and corporate, but my hopes for Cane Hill were definitely higher, and so as far as music goes, this album is probably the most disappointing thing about 2024 for me.

Detail of the Arch of Galerius in Thessaloniki, Greece. It was built between AD 298 and 299 and dedicated in AD 303 to commemorate the victory of the tetrarch Galerius over the Sassanid Persians and the invasion of their capital Ctesiphon in 298.

More here:

As you can see on the design on the left, four central columns supported a dome and thus created arches. Four gates were formed with two gates on today’s Egnatia street and the other two on today’s Demetriou Gounari street, the road that ran from the Galerius Palace up to the Rotunda. Only two of the four columns remain of this impressive stucture, the reliefs on which represent the Galerius’ victories against the Persians and the triumphal celebrations. Among others you can see scenes of war, mounted battles and victories, triumphs, ceremonies and sacrificies in four bands, separated by relief flowers and branches. Diokletianus, Maximinus and Constantius, the other three of the Roman Tetrach, can be also observed on the relief joined by gods and forms of the Roman tradition.
