Back to music: I took a break from the swedish industries and got back into some Black Metal. At the moment I torture myself with the new release of the finnish cult act Horna. "Ääniä Yössä" is simply outstanding! Normally I hate minimalistic metal-acts. Sure BM (in the traditional sense) never was about sophisticated playing techniques and progressive songwriting. But in my ears most bands are not able to handle the hypnotic minimalism of tremolo-picking.
The opening track of the new Horna-cd is a perfect example for this. A 10-min-song with only three riffs. Horna always created their special atmosphere (count out the weak "Sudentaival"-release), but this seems to be their peak.
Visit the horde at Myspace (www.myspace.com/thetruehorna) and listen to a few minutes of "Raiskattu Saastaisessa Valossa".
...ok, you are back. Still in a good mood? Well than lean back and think about what I have to say:
Children can be described as inculpable humans. A child does not know how to act in a ethical way because it is far beyond the physical desires and mental drives of an adult. "Morality", the rule of social life, has no meaning. Therefore you can't describe a child malignant or guilty.
A lot of children die because of cerevral tumour. Well, in fact there are several reasons for an early death. Most young people in the world may suffer death from starving. But this is a political and social problem. Unlike cancer: Neither political action nor social engagement are able to protect you from this disease. In this connection I use the term "cancer" as the key to my conclusion of a well-defined philosophy.
As we know that children are innocent (inculpable) and that they die because of cancer one must conclude that it is impossible to believe in the existence of a fair-minded, metaphysical entity. I believe in fatalism. And thats the only thing i want to believe. The world's incidents are arranged by fate. Fate is an abstract term. But why should we qualify what MAY stand behind these letters. We will never see the ultimate truth, we will never write about the origin of the light at the end of the tunnel and never ever will we shake hands with the angels.
The only question left is: If my live is ruled by an indefinable and value-free abstraction why should I care about any social dogmas? Why should I care about law? Because a legal system may also be useful for my own life? Maybe...but what will happen when I decide one day that to challenge fate is less lunatic than to wait for the big fist...
Forget Buddah, God or John Lennon and never trust in theodicy. Every thinking individual should eliminate the idea of a transcedent justice and face fate as the ultimate threat of a rational live.
Rationality is an illusion!
