.Burzum. DunkelHeit

Burzum is My favorite band of all time. When i was younger living in Nashville Tenn. (about 13-14 years old) I found Burzum in a local music zine that a friend gave me and ever since I have been obsessed with burzum. something about the ambient trances just fascinated me. black metal at the time was impossible to get in the states. most people only knew about bands like Emperor and Dimmu borgir. even then they were hard to get and not really popular. the Norwegian black metal scene was still pretty rare to find out about. at least in the south. But once i heard Burzum i was hooked. the first song i heard was DunkelHeit. (the English translation for the word is "darkness") so i figured since this is the only music video Burzum ever made i would post it here.. before i do so i will give you a short history of Burzum.


Burzum is a musical project by Varg Vikernes (originally under the pseudonym "Count Grishnackh"). It began during 1989 in Bergen, Norway and quickly became prominent within the early Norwegian black metal scene. During 1992 and 1993, Burzum recorded four albums; however, in 1994 Vikernes was convicted and imprisoned for the murder of guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth and the arson of several churches. While imprisoned, Vikernes recorded two albums in the dark ambient style. Soon after being released Vikernes started writing new tracks, nine metal tracks and an ambient intro and outro, for an upcoming Burzum album. According to Vikernes mentions, several record companies were interested in releasing his first album in eleven years. He stated about the new album, "I want to take my time, and make it the way I want it. It will be metal, and the fans can expect genuine Burzum." The album was going to be originally titled "Den hvite guden" (The White God), but he later decided to change it to "Belus", which was released by "Byelobog productions" on the 8th of March 2010.



DunkelHeit-lyrics

When night falls
She cloaks the world
In impenetrable darkness
A chill rises
From the soil
And contaminates the air
Suddenly...
Life has new meaning

Ops Gear youtube video on CRI

I recently attended a PSD operator/professional bodyguard course at CRI Counter Terrorism School in Las Vegas NV. The company Ops gear is very closely related to CRI. the owner has attended the course as well as another exec Bryan. The course i took was with Bryan from ops gear. Bryan is a great guy and Ops Gear is one of the best companies our their for Military, Contractors, LE and civilians. they offer lots of great gear and tips; and they are a proud support of CRI. below is the video bryan put together for ops gear showing footage of the class i attended. CRI actually hired a film crew to video the course for our own video resumes and for commercial use to show their course in great detail. the Ops Gear video was recorded by bryan and some of us in the course with bryans camera. enjoy!!

follow the link for some reason i cant embed this particular video.

.Old Man Gloom. (complete live set)

the greatest band that ever was. this is hands down my favorite band. this music just gets me. I have all their records. Old Man Gloom is a sludge/doom metal/post-metal band originally formed in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, but now based in Massachusetts. The group, formed by Aaron Turner of Isis and Santos Montano, has now expanded to become a sort of supergroup in the Boston hardcore and metalcore scene. The group is less a band than it is a recording project for a variety of talent. By the release of their first album (Meditations in B), Old Man Gloom expanded to include two new members. In 2001, a year after the release of Meditations in B, the band released two albums simultaneously: Seminar II and Seminar III. For these records, Luke Scarola joined to use electronics. On Seminar II, Steven Brodsky of Cave In wrote the lyrics for one song, and Jay Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed contributed on electronics. On August 24, 2004, the band's most recent album Christmas was released.

Aaron Turner – vocals, guitar (Isis)
Santos Montano – drums (Zozobra)
Nate Newton – guitar, vocals (Converge, Doomriders)
Caleb Scofield – bass guitar, vocals (Cave In, Zozobra)
Luke Scarola - Electronics
Jay Randall - Electronics (Agoraphobic Nosebleed)

two words

worst disaster in human history

A BP executive stated that they were removing 3000:1 gas to oil at the well before the explosion. (thats 3000 cubic feet of gas for every barrel of oil) The amount of oil leaking into the gulf is 25,000 to 70,000 barrels. a 3000:1 ratio would mean 75 - 210 million cubic feet of gas per day being released. There is 5.64 cubic feet of gas per barrel. That would mean there is 13.3 to 37.2 million "barrels" of gas being released each day. (note: this is at standard atmospheric temp and pressure. At the ocean floor and 2,400 pounds per square inch, this gas is compressed by a factor of of over 1000 and will expand as it rises. So, in the video coming out of the pipe it looks like 75,000 to 210,000 barrels of gas per day.

25,000 barrels of oil a day... factor in the 3000 cubic feet of gas and.... well, you have the worst case scenario. we wont recover from this in our lifetime. all in the name of a fossil fuels.. and to think there are ways to produce clean energy for free. we are killing the earth in the name of the dollar bill. here is a video of the oil. maybe it will put this in to perspective

Arizona in crises



AZ Sonoran Desert, outside Tucson, AZ

Illegal super highway outside of Tucson makes me sick. This is just one wash of many along the Mexico-Arizona border. Filled with trash, clothes, backpacks, diapers, feces and pure human waste. Have you seen these pics on CNN or FOX news? no you haven't. but they give us "special reports" on what celeb spouse has cheated on who.. Why would anyone in this country oppose AZ and their immigration needs right now? If this was happening in a state or federal park/forest the American people would be in an uproar. spread the word and support AZ. This wash leads directly to the ocean. Next big flood and it will all be washed into our oceans. This is about protecting our country. This is not about racism. This country was founded on accepting immigrants. So what makes these people special? Why should we respect them when they dont respect our country? To be an American you must RESPECT America. Our love and pride for our land is what sets us apart from the rest.
