Podcasts about anthropocene extinction

Vi gik på jagt efter et moderne mesterværk og endte med black-death-grind-mesterværket "Death Atlas" med Cattle Decapitation. Aldrig er det lykkedes et grindband at lyde så episk, som Cattle Decapitation gør det på numre som "Be still our Bleeding Hearts" og kæmpenummeret "Bring back the Plague". Der blastes endnu hårdere end på forgængeren "The Anthropocene Extinction", men der er noget ved de trommer, der irriterer Trolle. Heldigvis får han en hånd af producer Andreas Linnemann (Baest, Hajn, Thus) til helt at forstå, hvorfor de trommer lyder lige som de skal. Konvent forsanger Rikke Emilie List er kæmpe Cattle-fan og giver sine bud på hvornår bandet er bedst og om det er svært, at have en så varieret vokal, som forsanger Travis Ryan har. Så der er dømt moderne heavy metal i Månedens Mesterværk, som på alle måder ikke er for sarte sjæle! Værter: Anders Bøtter og Jakob Trolle. Medvirkende: Andreas Lindemann (Producer) og Rikke Emilie List (Sanger, Konvent). Lyddesign og klip: Emil Germod. Produceret af: Bowie-Jett. Udsendelse nr. 639. Sort Søndag er Danmarks vigtigste metal podcast. Hver uge får du 1 times tonser tunge toner, i selskab med værterne Anders Bøtter og Jakob Trolle. Sort Søndags trofaste "Giro 666 lyttere" byder ind med både nye og gamle numre, "Musiknyt" sørger for at holde dig helt opdateret og hver måned gennemgås et klassisk metal album i "Månedens Mesterværk".

Welcome back to The Great Metal Debate podcast. Today we are looking at the album Terrasite released on May 12th via Metal Blade Records. A band's overall evolution can go in many directions but I feel Cattle have managed to outdo themselves with my personal favorite album Monolith of Inhumanity and they continued to kick ass with their 2015 banger The Anthropocene Extinction. 4 years we have become humanoid cockroaches trying to survive in a bleak uninhabitable world. The first track "Terrasitic Adaptation" is a decent openerbut doesn't really induce much head banging. Probably not a song I would choose to be on a live set list but it's okay. The next song "We Eat Our Young" has a very "Forced Gender Reassignment" feel to it but with a slowed chorus and even a slight soft spot moment when guitarist Josh Elmore clearly taps a foot pedal. Another thing to point out is how well the drums sound in the mix and I've noticed that David McGraw seems to really put those cymbals to great use. His capabilities are on full display in "Scourge of the Offspring" along with Travis showing off his full vocal range. "The Insignificants" begins with more blast beats and the traditional metal riff performed by the band's other guitarist Belisario Dimuzio. Traviscontinues to bludgeon us with his insane gutturals followed by a more haunting sounding spoken word section towards this song's conclusion. One of the heaviest songs on the albums is "The Storm Upstairs". I love how Josh and Belisario work together to bring us their chug riff and a guitar screech during the song's intro. Bassist Olivier Pinard helps to tie everyone's instruments together. The next song "... And The World Will Go On Without You" is a great song but despite the lyrics and vocals not being drastically different from a song from a popular hard rock band, Tell me it doesn't sound like the chorus from the song "Alone I Break" by Korn. The 3rd single and music video released for this album called "A Photic Doom". This song isn't quite as memorable as some of these other new tracks because the instruments have a cluster of noise structure as opposed to better riffs we've heard thus far. There's still no mistaking that this is indeed a Cattle Decapitation song but there's only one thing that seems to stand out about it. The classic stop and start moment during the halfway point followed by the first and only guitar solo on this entire album. I would like the spoken word section at the end of this song a lot more if it didn't sound so faded out. "Dead End Residents" is another track on this album that seems to be another filler track that lacks a lot of quality and disappointingly enough, the same can be said for the first half of the next track "Solastalgia" with the exception of Oliver's standout bass riff. However, there's a dark and gloomy redeeming point after that when the track suddenly emanates a sense of foreboding. The finale "Just Another Body" begins with an eerie vibe only to completely blow us all away with Cattle Decapitation giving us everything they got. Some of David's fastest drumming explodes on this one but obviously not for the entirety. There's a lot to unpack with this one with Travis further expanding his vocal prowess. From the mid-section to the conclusion, he manages to sound like a completely different person. Instead of giving this album a numerical score like I usually do, I have decided to go with a quick tier ranking list. Out of all ten of their studio albums, I would place this one at 7th place which beats out the previous album at 8th place. 9th and 10th place go to the first 2 grindcore albums. This isn't really a bad thing because the four albums I put before it are just my favorites that I have frequently revisited over the years. Terrasite is only worth a solid honorable mention.

We finally tackle our firt tr00 brvtal death metal album about how we're killing the Earth. Now with marginally less politics!

Summer arrives and we go into some classic Album Club territory with Sum 41's moodier metal turn Chuck, Blind Guardian's Nightfall In Middle Earth, Your Demise upset the windbreakers on The Golden Age, and Cattle Decapitation's boundary-crossing look into a dark future The Anthropocene Extinction.This episode was originally published June 2022 on patreon.com/thatsnotmetal.

It's not personal.But it manifests that way —Universally.* * *As promised in the last segment, we will finish this series of five by taking up the remaining pair of combinations — the intersection of the Personal from the Four Spheres, with the Cessation of suffering from the Four Noble Truths, which involves the Eightfold Path previously touched upon. Personal Cessation is the only kind there can be, it seems. Even the Natural Cessation of physical death is not considered the end of suffering in Buddhism, owing to the principle of rebirth. Social Cessation does not seem that germane, other than the relatively decreasing engagement that comes with aging. But ask anyone in assisted living, palliative or hospice care, and you will find most of the issues that arise are social in nature. It must be admitted that if Cessation of suffering can and does actually occur in the midst of life, it must be a Universal phenomenon, as well as Personal. But the only dimension that counts must be the Personal, i.e. how we actually experience and embrace it.The graphic illustrates the correlation of the Four Spheres of reality — the Personal, Social, Natural and Universal — with the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism — the Existence, Origin, Cessation, and Path to Cessation, of suffering, dukkha, a comprehensive model of lay Zen householder practice.The Personal sphere is the bubble in which we sit when we assume the zazen posture. As mentioned, we do not thereby totally leave behind the Social, any more than we can escape the Natural and Universal spheres of influence, notwithstanding ancient claims to the contrary for the powers of meditation. But we can establish some distance between ourselves and others in meditation. Master Dogen hints at this in Fukanzazengi [Principles of Seated Meditation], his early tract on zazen:Now, in doing zazen it is desirable to have a quiet room. You should be temperate in eating and drinking, forsaking all delusive relationships.The operative phrase here is “forsaking all delusive relationships,” which begs the question: Which, if any, of the many relationships we have are not delusive? In another teaching, Genjokoan [Actualizing the Fundamental Point], Dogen lays out four transitions in Zen practice in descriptive, but cryptic, terms:To study the Buddha way is to study the self To study the self is to forget the self To forget the self is to be actualized by the myriad things When actualized by the myriad things your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away No trace of realization remains and this no-trace continues endlessly Another translation says something like: “to forget the self is to be enlightened by all things; to be enlightened by all things is to remove the barrier between self and other and go on in traceless enlightenment forever.” This can be misinterpreted, I think, to indicate that this realization is a kind of “kumbaya” moment, where we see and embrace the fact that we are all alike, all in the same boat, et cetera, and why “Can't we all just get along?” In other words, a Social interpretation of self and others, plural, and removing any apparent barriers. But I do not think this is what Master Dogen is getting at.If instead we “remove the barrier between self and other,” singular, this identifies the fundamental relationship that we have to resolve, above and before all others. Like Bodhidharma alone in his cave, self-and-other are still present. This basic bifurcation in our apprehension of reality is akin to the Fall from Grace in Buddhism. It amounts to a kind of category error, one that develops in early childhood via the natural process called individuation, i.e. becoming aware of ourselves as individual beings separate from mom, the crib, and everything else. This is further reinforced by parents, teachers and peers, in conventional education. Which, in our culture, does not typically include meditation.Not that this growing awareness of separate individuality is not true; it is just that it is not complete. The rest of the story is that we are intricately interconnected to all of our relationships, including with other human beings, but also sentient beings of other species in the animal kingdom, as well as plant life, and the insentient world. In other words, the Personal cannot be isolated from the Natural and Universal, let alone the Social. Master Dogen goes on to suggest that in zazen, however, we suspend judgment about all of this for the moment, at least for the time we are on the cushion:Setting everything aside, think of neither good nor evil, right or wrong. Thus having stopped the various functions of your mind, give up even the idea of becoming a Buddha.Note that “everything,” here, primarily entailing those judgment calls in the Social sphere, such as identifying “good and evil, right and wrong,” are to be set aside, in zazen. And that this kind of thinking represents the natural functioning of the mind, that is, the thinking or discriminating mind, known as citta in Sanskrit, the complement of bodhi, or wisdom mind. I think we can define these terms simply as analytical versus intuitive aspects of the total mind, or bodhicitta. This basic division of the mind into a dyad, or binary, we may take as the psychology or mind science of the times, as compared to the more complex models of the brain and its functions propounded by science today.The main point here is that the ordinary functions of the mind —which we advisedly tend to label as “monkey mind” — reach a point of diminishing returns, though I don't think we can literally stop them. Like a live monkey, citta will eventually wear itself out, lie down and take a nap. Trying to stop the functions of the mind intentionally only turns out to be more monkey business, as in the Ch'an poem Hshinshinming [Trust in Mind]:Trying to stop activity to achieve passivity, the very effort fills you with activityThis is one of the many catch-22s that we find in Zen practice. And not only on the cushion, as Dogen goes on to remind us:This holds true not only for zazen but for all your daily actions.So the Personal Cessation of suffering may be experienced not as a sudden, irreversible event, like a thunderbolt from the sky, but a series of gradual, incremental cessations of our knee-jerk reactions to events. Both in the Personal sphere, particularly in meditation, as well as interactions with others in the Social and Natural spheres. This attitude adjustment may extend to other forces in the Universal realm, such as the effects of climate change. Or something as simple, but potentially deadly, as a sunburn.One premise that has to be reinforced from time to time in Zen and other meditation circles, is that our practice does not, and cannot, reveal anything that is not already true. Meditation does not and cannot change anything, other than our personal apprehension and appreciation of our own reality. The revered Zen Buddhist saint, Bodhidharma, declared that it is not necessary to do zazen in order to “grasp the vital principle.” Which tells us that we do zazen for some other reason, namely to set aside all delusive relationships, for one example. Which suggests that we must be harboring a lot of delusive relationships, whether we are aware of them or not. Otherwise, why does zazen require so much time?As I mention in The Original Frontier, the first reason most people give as to why they cannot do meditation, is that they do not have time. This is mainly because they look for immediate results, and give up when the novelty wears off, and they cannot detect sufficient positive feedback to encourage them to continue. According to the principles of zazen, and Personal Cessation, meditation does not necessarily take any time at all to take effect. Since we are getting in our own way, all we have to do is stop. Aha, you say — but that's how they get you. Catch-22 déjà vu.If the Cessation of suffering writ large is dependent upon case-by-case Personal Cessation of all those habits of thought and behavior that are getting in the way, how do we recognize and identify them, and relinquish our attachments or aversions to them that keep dragging us down? I think one of the key attitude adjustments is to recognize that we are not only receiving, but interpreting, our experience, even at the near-subliminal level in zazen. If we can set aside any interpretation at all — let alone judgments of good and evil, right and wrong, at least while we are on the cushion — then maybe we can move that dharma gate a little.One last consideration before we leave this perhaps overly convoluted analysis of the intersection of the Four Noble Truths with my model of the Four Spheres of Influence, suggests another connection with the teachings of Buddhism. The spheres of internal and external reality correlate with the Three Treasures of classical Buddhism. Buddha, Dharma and Sangha track to the Personal, Universal and Social spheres. Briefly, Buddha — indicating practice on the cushion as a practical matter, but also our original nature, or birthright as human beings — is obviously a very Personal dimension of Zen practice. Of course, in light of its deeper connotations as “original nature,” it has Universal and Social implications. The study of and propagation of Dharma clearly involves a Social program of education — or “sharing the dharma assets,” expressed as a Precept — but also a Personal endeavor, climbing the Zen mountain. Again with Universal implications as Dharma, capital D, as the Way, or Tao, the law that governs the universe. Sangha is most obviously Social in character, but also Universal, representing the entirety of the human species from its origins hundreds of thousands of years in the misty past, to its current manifestation in facing the looming possibility of the Anthropocene Extinction, the sixth such global catastrophe on record. I could go on. But it is time to shift to another paradigm.Meanwhile, please continue practicing in the holistic context of the Four Spheres and the Four Noble Truths, as well as the Three Treasures. Climbing Zen Mountain, and then descending.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

With Cattle Decap's newest album "Death Atlas" on the way, Kayle and OJ spend a bit more quality time with their 2015 epic "The Anthropocene Extinction".

We are joined by very special guest Mr. Brady Deeprose for this deep dive into the seventh studio album by San Diego deathgrind wizards Cattle Decapitation. Considered by many to be the band's best album, Steve, Remfry and Brady discuss the impact The Anthropocene Extinction had on extreme metal and the elements that contributed to this album's influence on the genre since it's release in 2015. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this (late, sorry) episode, Joe and Pete discuss the albums Shake, Shook, Shaken by French-Finnish duo The Dø and the much less catchy Anthropocene Extinction by San Diego deathgrinders Cattle Decapitation. Having already had this conversation once (on some unlistenable, corrupted files), it’s a bit rambly, but hopefully no less informative than usual. Please feel free to share, like, subscribe, all that guff, and help us provide a much needed white middle-class voice in a sea of white middle-class voices.
