Metal Monday CCLXXIV - Vampyric Burial Shroud

9/30/2019

I am afflicted by some blight and am left weak and tired so I must keep this short. This week we have the enigmatic, blood wraith Erythrite Throne. Vampyric Burial Shroud is but a black step to climb on the mountain of releases this artist has unfurled. The showcase track for this week will be the haunting and wicked piece called Ancient Vampyric Burial Rites which should leave you in awe and horror...beckoning for more. I am sad to not be able to give this week more effort but I am overworked and sick from some unknown source. All the more reason I need to find that apprentice. Perhaps, this weeks showcase piece will offer me a solution to my affliction, perhaps indeed a blood ritual is needed to correct my waning bond. We shall see if I return next week... /,,/

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
