Metal Monday X - Be'Lakor - THE MAD BARRON

Metal Monday X - Be'Lakor

2/14/2016

A whirling terror from down under, Be'Lakor has become one of my all time favortie bands to listen to, whether Metal or otherwise. Lyrics that would pierce your heart, energy that could sunder the earth, and a growling voice that challenges the gods themselves.
With a new album on the way, I thought this would be the perfect time to showcase these fine Australian performers. Beyond the epic Metal they bring, they have roots in that of the Fantasy and tabletop realm. Be'Lakor is a demon based from the Warhammer fantasy series (the spaceless version of Warhammer 40K that I write about). I hope this Double Feature helps you usher in a new week, ready to take down bosses and jounery through dungeons and labyrinths. If you should find yourself war torn or battle scarred, then visit my halls, stay while and listen. Enjoy my favorite song, The Dream and The Waking, linked with, Outlive The Hand.

THE MAD BARRON

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)
