Presencing the Underground: The Fourth Dimension of European Black Metal and Black Magick
Black Metal = Black Magick. I have personally stopped listening to the genre because it is possible to find the same spiriti that we how grew up in the 190s scene experienced, elsewhere.
I have spent the last few days, almost a week now, in an old town in Western Germany. Although the whole place is modernized (cars, some advertising, people have computers etc) there is still that old mystical european spiriti alive in places for those who are still capable of sensing it.
My girlfriend has always considered erself a mystick, and I think that holds true for me also. WeSociety has no real use for us because wed rather get up at dawn to “meditate” (The 18 Lohan Hands, Nei and Chi Kung = internal war) and spent the rest of the time walking through empty streets during sunrise feeling the energy of a place, which, again, has a mystickal sense in some places still in Europe.At the oldest parts of town I can still feel how the towns cold air must come from some mountains and how gazing above the roofs of old buildings might feel if there were still uncultivated forests and churches where the Eveningland (Abendland) prays to god.
I can see for those of you whose spiriti has also been “colonized” by black metal, who grew up with the genre and sense the same force in other cultural spaces, can manifest the Fourth Dimension of European Black Metal. I do not think that the New World is capable of creating black metal, not what I personally understand of the term. USBM with the same intention and background of those who grew up in Europe. I am not saying that there is no value in USBM, but, that it is a product of the New World, which lacks the same mystical energy, because the country is still to young and too rational in its productions.
I have spent the last 10 years living in this New World and I was always able to tap into the energy that flows through its vein by looking towards the future (something Europe cannot equally do), and perhaps there is a valid contribution black metal can make in this vein, but, but it is my perosnal experience that the Occult Forces which are responsible for Black Metal are still alive in Europe and can be spoken to (metaphocally) whilst living here.
A task for those in the scene: Many of us do not accept society, we have too much imagination, we are too creative and much ensorcelled by the forces society attempts to destroy (forests, irrationality, madness etc). There is too much dissent in our soul for us to go to work every morning instead of openin a portal to the astral plane. I would personally like to see more of this type of dissent expressed in the scene and would like to see more art (not obsessed with violence, the NS Regime) pushing back on current occult forces: connect your music to the Fourth Dimension, your intuition, your heaven ward gazing eye. And again, when I say the black metal scene, I do not mean solely those who listen to black metal, but are approaching the world from a particular angle, a perspective that should not be articulated and remains essentially secret (Ie not in public discourse).
A Vision: Tpoe into the old ways: perhaps I will rent a small room in a mediveal town somewhere in a forgotten space of europe, perhaps somewhere near the mountains. I think Heidegger knew of this energy when he spent his days walking around Southern Germany thinking about the 4 causes of the conditions for what he called “dwelling”. In ecology, if a species does nto find its niche it cannot contribute tot he organic whole and will most probably perish. There are many predators in this world , ie those of us who push back against society, but there are also hawsk who roam in the sky. Your wings too can carry you to the sunset, to the Untergrand des Abendlandes and still feed off of its latent energy., so that you may become stronger spiritually and dwell l in the correct dimension (before the internet, before cars, before advertising, before margek economies) where life was still an artwork, because we didnt have the means to create fantasy worlds without having them rain down un us through our lives (would you want to talk to someone who cannot dream?).
Rent a room in a basement in a small town in Europe. Walk through the old forests, crate shrines to the spirits that once lived, discipline yourself and your mind there, presence the Fourth Dimension of European Black Metal.
