Apopthelema Part 1 of 6

"THOUGH PLAINLY A PRISONER,I HAVE NOT LOST MY LIFELONG ZEAL FOR THE UNKNOWN;AND AM DETERMINED TO PROBE THE COSMOS AS DEEPLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE DOOM COMES"-H.P. LOVECRAFT

This is the first Apopthelema column.

Being incarcerated for the next decade leaves me without the resources neccessary to publish and distribute a print zine. So i'm forced out of necessity to publish these hypergraphia induced misanthropic diatribes on-line. There is no goal or endpoint to any of this. I do this for myself, with nothing to prove to any of your kind. Its an efficient way to purge and vent all of the fucked up shit in my head. I was influenced into writing a column to some extent by reading maximum rocknroll. Despite its abhorrent politics and hypocritical editors, it remains a good publication. Also its better to self publish online then submit to zines etc, because most people in the underground are too lazy to go to the fucking post office. Never mind that there scene wouldn't fucking exist in its present state if it wasnt for the ardent efforts of dedicated tape traders in the 80s/early 90s. Now with the download generation apathy, you have a Gresham's Law type effect . Forums and messageboards enable posers and provide neophytes with access, and make things more convient for dilletantes. The time and effort required to do everything through the mail, had a social darwinist side effect that helped weed out the defective stock , so you didnt have such a flood of bullshit 'scene music' to use a quote from Isten : 

"1.MUSIC THAT EXISTS MERELY BECAUSE ITS MAKERS THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO BE A PART OF METAL AND THE UNDERGROUND SCENE, AND TO MAKE THE RELATIONSHIP OFFICIAL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. 

2.MUSIC THAT IS PLAYED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY QUITE FASCINATED BY THE IDEA OF MAKING SOME MUSIC OF THERE OWN,BUT HAVE YET TO FIND AN EMOTION OR AN IDEA TO EXPRESS."
its also funny that burned cdrs have the binary bits burned into the dye, not stamped as in glass mastered pressed discs, so the dye after time errodes and decays, rendering all these inane pedantic bedroom project cdrs unplayable coasters within a decade. I was given a probation violation based on the content of my music, and this was publicized in M.R.R and other zines, but except for a token elite few, no one in the underground ever bothered to take further action or even write me letters. ignored and discarded.


Also i find it appalling no one in the diy punk community has chosen to criticize and call out the former M.R.R zine coordinator for selling out ,By using M.R.R. as a stepping stone to gain employment at Revolver. Exploiting the resources and efforts of the Underground for personal gain. When Justin Pearson from Locust signed his soul to Epitapth and got on the cover of Revolver, he was widely villified. This zine coordinator violated Tim Yo's last will and testament,cosigns on the firing of one of the finest social critics and iconoclast philosophers since Marco Vassi ,then jumps ship to work at Revolver to pimp Bro mall punk, Fratboy daterape butt rock, and wigger rap metal to self loathing trailer park kids with racial identity issues that need to just fucking kill themselves. To top it all off , this sell out is still allowed to write columns for M.R.R, that mention Revolver, Being a promoter for all the wretched shit hot topic kiddies adore is not fucking punk.I hope this bitch chokes to death on Corey Taylor's cock. People that listen to shit like I.C.P ,Slipknot, and Shinedown, deserve the same level of contempt and hatred given to Skrewdriver fans. Someone wearing a Slipknot etc. patch/shirt at a diy show, should be excluded and 86'd the same as a rapist nazi would. No distinction should be made. If you allow and tolerate that shit to invade the underground, like a virus, then your fucking false.Allowing these low life forms to run M.R.R. and dictate editorial policy, is fucked up. With the convenience of the internet and the continued mainstream commodification of the underground, it becomes necessary to become more militant and elitist, It aint fucking dead yet, but more people need to get active and put work in.. We need more underground pride.None of us have any future anyway, But that dosnt mean we should give up.We need to actively resist victimization, assimilation, and mediocrity,


"MY INTEREST IN "ISSUES" IS MERELY TO POINT OUT HOW BADLY WE'RE DOING, NOT TO SUGGEST A WAY WE MIGHT DO BETTER. DON'T CONFUSE ME WITH THOSE WHO CLING TO HOPE. I ENJOY DESCRIBING THINGS HOW THEY ARE, I HAVE NO INTEREST IN FIXING THEM. "-GEORGE CARLIN
