Friday nite lepas, aku kembali ke studio utk rakaman album terbaru kami - Stabbed.
Seperti album yg lepas, kami masih mengekalkan genre Death Metal utk kompilasi lagu-lagu. Cuma kali nie, lagu-lagu kami agak sopan dari segi lirik nyer. Tak ler se-brutal sangat seperti album yg lepas.
Walopon sorang vokalist kami, Aceshigh, tak hadir pada mlm tu, rakaman tetap berjalan dgn lancar. Kesian ler Zoneng kena nyanyi sorang pasal takde back up vocals.
Tuu hari juga, kami ader mencuba beberapa experiment baru. Voodooskullz testing video cam quality utk gigs yg akan datang. Fangface ader ubah sikit muzik arrangement dgn menyelitkan unsur-unsur piano to soothen the melody. Muzik Death nie berat sangat. Masyarakat tak bole terima. So, kena 'lembut' kan sikit ler. Aku pulak try main drum pakai satu tangan.....wahahakakakakkaaa....
Instrument kurang bermutu pada mlm tu. Sounding agak pecah sikit. Adakalanyer bass sound terputus-putus akibat jack wire yg dah terok. Masih lagi ader kelemahan dlm sound engineering kami. Tapi takpe, muzik masih bole di edit during post production nanti.
Our next mission is to try on Gothic music genre. Lebih menghantu dari Death Metal. Masih belom fikir kan lirik yg bakal diselitkan dlm muzik gothic.

Aku skarang tgh buat research pasal gothic culture.
Apa itu gothic? Rock hantu kaper??...
Bukan, kalo korang blajar pasal perihal architecture, gothic itself is a form of architectural expression in the 12th century origin from Europe after Romanesque period. Same mcm Islamic Architecture, Roman Architecture...bla..bla...bla..

The term "Gothic"
Gothic architecture has nothing to do with the historical Goths. It was a pejorative term that came to be used as early as the 1530s to describe culture that was considered rude and barbaric. François Rabelais imagines an inscription over the door of his Utopian Abbey of Thélème, "Here enter no hypocrites, bigots..." slipping in a slighting reference to "Gotz" (rendered as "Huns" in Thomas Urquhart's English translation) and "Ostrogotz."
In English seventeenth century usage, "Goth" was an equivalent of "vandal," a savage despoiler with a Germanic heritage and so came to be applied to the architectural styles of northern Europe before the revival of classical types of architecture. On 21 July 1710, the Académie d'Architecture met in Paris, and among the subjects they discussed, the assembled company noted the new fashions of bowed and cusped arches on chimneypieces being employed "to finish the top of their openings.
The Company disapproved of several of these new manners, which are defective and which belong for the most part to the Gothic."[2] '"There can be no doubt that the term 'Gothic' as applied to pointed styles of ecclesiastical architecture was used at first contemptuously, and in derision, by those who were ambitious to imitate and revive the Grecian orders of architecture, after the revival of classical literature.
Authorities such as Christopher Wren lent their aid in deprecating the old mediæval style, which they termed Gothic, as synonymous with every thing that was barbarous and rude.", according to a correspondent in Notes and Queries No. 9. December 29, 1849.

Gothic culture terus berkembang dari Eropah hingga ke North America. Dari situ, gothic mula berubah mengikut keadaan masa dan berpecah kelompok dan mazhab dan mempunyai berbagai subculture. Dari situ bermulanya goth literature, music dan cult.

What is the Goth culture?
Quote:
It is basically indefinable, because "Goth" means different things to each follower. Many adopt unusual fashions in order to separate themselves from other youth. Gordon A. Crews, associate dean of the School of Justice Studies at Roger Williams University in Bristol, CT is an investigator of what he calls the "occult" which-- in his opinion -- includes the Goth culture.
He said: "It is up to the individual to define what Goth is for themselves ... The mentality is, 'I want to be left alone but I want to be seen. I want to see the shock on other peoples' faces." 11
Some factors that are commonly observed are:
Its unique music, art and literature. The use of extreme black clothing, light colored makeup, unusual hair styles, body piercing, bondage items, etc.
A fascination with medieval, Victorian and Edwardian history. Wearing of symbols such as a Christian cross; an Egyptian ankh or "Eye of Ra," or "Eye of Horus;" a Wiccan pentacle, a Satanic inverted pentacle. etc. 14 Goths tend to be non-violent, pacifistic, passive, and tolerant. Many in the media have mistakenly associated Goth with extreme violence and hatred of minorities, white supremacy, etc. Many Goths write about being depressed. Followers seem sullen and withdrawn, when in public. They are often much more "happy and carefree in the company of [other] Goths." 1 Examples of depression are: "Tigriss," commenting on her own life, writes: "So my gothic persona fit me quite well. My black clothing and dark music aptly reflected my own depression, pain, and anger which was what I made most of my life about. Most of my goth friends had dysfunctional families and troubled childhoods as mine. We could identify with each other through our dark make-up and painful pasts." 12 Researcher Jasin Tamlin comments: "If you take a look at the 640 sites that are listed on the Gothic Web Ring, you will find many of them filled with desperation, depression, anger, hatred, despair and angst." 13 "A lot of people turn to the Gothic subculture after having a hard time in school, feeling alienated, and looking for a way to express themselves that mirrors those feelings. Others find the scene through literature, still others want to be shocking, and some people just find black clothing slimming." 1 Goth music often deals with thought-provoking topics, concentrating on societal evils, like racism, war, hatred of groups, etc. Their music tends to concentrate on the very "nasty, unhappy" topics that "North American culture" wants to "ignore and forget." A fascination with death. They try "to find a different way of thinking about life, like trying to find beauty in life, pain and death. It's all a quest for immortality." 2 In contrast, many Goths are optimistic about the future and see much beauty in the world. Some Goths enjoy playing role playing games. However, RPGs are not an integral component of Goth culture. It is just that those intellectual and creative challenges that draw them to the Goth scene make them more likely to enjoy RPGs as well. Other interests: writings by authors like Dante, Byron, Tolstoy; German Expressionist silent films; writing music; painting, etc.
History and background:
The words Goth and Gothic have had many, largely unrelated meanings in the past: the name of the Germanic Visigoth tribes that overthrew the Roman Empire. From this source arose the concept of a Goth as an uncivilized person, a barbarian. 4 a style of architecture in Western Europe which was popular from the 12th to the 16th century. a style of horror/mystery literature that is dark, eerie and gloomy. Goth, as a modern movement, started as one component of the punk rock scene. As the latter faded, Goth survived by creating its own subculture. The first use of the term Goth in its present meaning is believed to have been on a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) TV program. Anthony H. Wilson, manager of Joy Division described the band as Gothic compared with the pop mainstream. The name stuck. Their use of black clothing was originally "something of a backlash to the colorful disco music of the seventies." 5 It also stuck. The movement first became established in the Batcave, a nightclub in London, England, in the early 1980's. 3 Spreading to the U.S., it first became popular in California. Goth is featured in The Crow horror movies (1994, 1996). Other Gothic movies are the original Nosferatu, the color remake Nosferatu the Vampyre, and the Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. Popular music bands are the Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, and many others.
