In the next comparison episode we arrive to the most grief filled figure of Irish mythology, the goddess called the Morrigan. Her figure is really inspiring for Celtic Metal, thus now I examine songs from bands like Suidakra, Waylander, Primordial, Cruachan and Darkest Era.

A bonus episode that is not dealing with metal today, but aims to pay an hommage to the recently released adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. My very personal opinion about Denis Villeneuve's piece.

As the feast of Halloween is upon us it is time to take a look on one of the most infulental extreme gothic metal band's aesthetics. Cradle of Filth is the manifest of literature, mythology and history inspired British gloom, with a lifespan of 30 years revolving around the most gruesome and lustful topics in a manner never replicated since. Join me in the preparation of Samhain!

Berlin based genies Necros Christos was one of the best of mystical crypt lurking death metal acts. As the new formation of former band members named as Sijjin is going to publish soon their debut album it could be time to a look back on the career and works of Necros Christos. I do not claim to be in possession of the whole truth about the band but here you can listen to my reading of their work. Come with me to a katabasis into the depths of graves and mysticism!

Amenhotep IV or more commonly known as Akhenaten is one of the most interesting pharaohs of ancient Egyptian history. The pharaoh who tried to reform all Egypt's religion was later cursed for eternity, a great topic for metal musicians to talk about. Please be welcomed for a short analysis of his reform and its impact on metal lyrics, featuring bands like Nile, Therion, Nightfall and Bay Leaf!

Gojira's name is one with high quality metal music and meaningful lyrics revolving around humanity and its relation towards environment. The green knights of the metal scene showed us their fresh thoughts in music and lyrics that I wish to contextualize within their career and driving programme.
