Tape Wyrm

Amaranthine Lament is a one man ambient black metal project from the UK who has been spending all of this time making either disaffected second wave black metal with heavy electronic overtones or disaffected electronic with black metal overtones. One of them. Spirit Geist is the third demo which continues the pursuit of black metal ambiance in the same way one wilds a machete wildly in the night. While previous works have split the cheap nba jerseys metal from electronics, Spirit Geist has them walk hand and hand down a road dans that is obviously filled with bats. It takes a few minutes into the opening track, “Pathways of Impotence” for the acid washed synth Hacked to kick in and for the demo to become unique or frighteningly infectious. One of them. From this moment on, the next 70 minutes are a wild ride that is as bizarre as it is entertaining.

Introduction

Elitism can be defined as the belief that certain persons, classes, or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority. This superiority could be connected to social status, wealth, or knowledge. Over these two years, I have become increasingly interested in the concept of elitism and how it relates to music. While elitism can be seen throughout history as a source of political conflict, musical elitism comes at lesser stakes but still with the same amount of intensity. Somewhere between music and a person experiencing music, there exists a source of conflict. Not between person and music, but rather person and other people listening to the same music This is where we encounter the strange and complicated world of elitism.
