Led’s Lense

The Other Kashmir

A Valley’s Physical Graffiti

By Faisul Yaseen

In the Himalayas, where the murmurs of the Jhelum weave through the lush valley, Kashmir has been a muse of poets and painters. Its name invokes both enchantment and anguish, a duality reflected in Led Zeppelin’s iconic song, Kashmir. Written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant with contributions from John Bonham over a period of 3 years with lyrics dating to 1973, the song featured on their sixth studio album Physical Graffiti in 1975. This timeless ode transcends physical geography, yet its mystical allure inadvertently mirrors the very soul of Kashmir.

It would seem rather bold, and even a little farcical, to compare Led Zeppelin’s ‘Kashmir’ with Kashmir valley. Yet tracing how the song born in the deserts of Morocco finds an uncanny kinship with a paradise mired in its own metaphoric deserts spurns curiosity.

Verse 1: Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face

If the sun could speak, it might recount the shadows it has witnessed in Kashmir. Led Zeppelin’s yearning for the sun’s warmth feels alien to a valley where winters are not just meteorological but political, where warmth is siphoned by fear that has reduced its famed sunlight to a pale glow that barely pierces the haze, casting a chilling pall over a land that once basked in idyllic harmony.

Chorus: I am a traveller of time and space

The stories in Kashmir are great works of fiction, sold with the finesse of the best of salesmen. Tourism hoardings show lakes as pristine and houseboats as inviting travellers to rediscover paradise. But the real travellers of time and space in Kashmir are not Instagram influencers but locals wandering in search of existence.

Governance in Kashmir functions on paradoxes - the claustrophobic presence contrary to the wide open landscapes. For every tourist sipping Kehwa on a Shikara, there is a youth piecing together the fragments of his shattered life. The spaces may be the same but the experiences are universes apart.

Bridge: My Shangri-La under the summer moon

Kashmir is Led Zeppelin’s Shangri-La, the mythical utopia nestled in towering peaks. Utopias are subjective, though. One man’s heaven is another man’s hell or purgatory. The beautiful valley becomes cruel irony for its denizens, who usually cannot savour its magnificence because it’s always reminding them of its perils.

All the rhetoric about Kashmir sounds almost hollow. Promises ring as empty as the deserted streets. In this dystopian Shangri-La, progress is measured not by prosperity but by publicity. New malls are inaugurated. Old memories erased.

Verse 2: Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails

In Kashmir, the winds carry stories instead of sails. The winds carry the whispered prayers of a generation that has known nothing more than nothingness. The winds also carry the spirit of the people. Art adorns the walls. Poetry and music flourish. And, youth navigate censored spaces to tell their stories. Under relentless hopelessness, the spirit does not break.

Coda: When I am on my way, when I see

How many moons away is Kashmir from its road? This is a haunting refrain that never ceases ringing around the region.

When one beholds, Led Zeppelin puts forth a dreamy vision. What do we see when we behold Kashmir? A crown jewel? A problematic periphery? A land to own? People to love? All such answers decide the region’s dismal destinies.

The Unfinished Symphony

Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir ends with a sweeping, open conclusion, just like the region itself: untamed and mysterious. The music reflects the Valley’s breathtaking panorama. However, the underlying tensions and the lived reality of its people is another story. Rober Plant’s vocals and Jimmy Page’s guitar lines echo the paradox of its beauty and hopelessness. Kashmiris are left to wring out their purgatory alone, their voices buried in the cacophony.

Encore

Perhaps Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir should be the anthem adopted for the Valley. It is after all an attention-grabbing song. The majestic orchestration could go with the snowy passes and evocative lyrics could narrate the daily grind of Kashmiri life. If nothing else, it would be a fitting irony for a region where beauty is wrecked.

Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir is a call to rise above the mundane. It is a hymn to transcendence. However, the valley it shares a name with is still waiting for its transcendence. Until that day, Kashmir will remain an unfinished melody, its notes heavy with longing and defiance, resonating against the mountains that keep its secrets and sorrows.

New album for Italian Doomsters DVM SPIRO

My Kingdom Music and DVM SPIRO, great Italian Doomsters, have signed a new deal that will lead them together to the release of "MMXXV - Grave". This is the title of the successor to their successful and acclaimed debut "MMXIX - In Frigidvm Lectvm" released a few years ago. The new album will be released in Autumn and has been completed in these days.

With songs that never go under 11 minutes, DVM SPIRO, formed by members of NIHILI LOCUS (Max, Roberto, Valeria), an Italian cult band from the 90s, are going to give life to an extremely gloomy, heavy album even if their dark and arcane Doom Metal often is caressed by more Atmospheric, sometimes horrific and even symphonic elements. A general feeling of dark desperation, mixed with the natural funereal atmospheres of Doom Metal, is what emerges from the second album of DVM SPIRO and you will not waste a moment to let yourself be enchanted by their music and the sabbatical pace of their compositions! Heavy riffs, female voices and very deep growls, ancient atmospheres and even classical music enrich a unique sound that will surely be a must-listen for fans of My Dying Bride, Funeral, the first Paradise Lost, Shape Of Despair!

Roberto introduces us to it with this dark declaration of intent that has a strong sense of a harbinger of death: "There are things that as soon as they are born you already know they must die. A sublimation, an invisible caress that blurs life, and finally becomes a cold detachment. It is an indistinct death, in which follies shine in the dark. Without peeling frames, and funereal paintings of intangible prisons. We draw on a discontinuous salvation, through moments lost among infected wounds of withered bodies and adorned with the filthy rags of others. Disappointing, woven complaint of this life. So full of beauty, beyond the ravines, turbid, of useless prayers. While the vague leads us back to the gentle torture and infirm will. Among the asymmetries of a last daily spasm. As if it were a game of dexterity to die early."

DVM SPIRO are back and the magic of their sad Art is ready to drag you into the deepest abysses.

🎉Nephylim - 🎶Circuition

Melodic Death metal outfit Nephylim releases their second single and lyric video: “Circuition”.

The title track of the album “Circuition” – “The act of going around” - elaborates the endless, wandering circulation while being lost in life, which could happen when one encounters a large personal loss like losing a partner, a dear family member or other loved one. In time, the accompanying grief and pain will make place for a restless strive for a way to resume your life as before: the act of bringing back the motion in your cycle of life. Resulting in the creation of opportunities to pave new paths.

Advanced nanobot engineers have finally hooked up the brains of two people to act as one! They can’t think for themselves – only echo what their programmers have jammed into their skulls. Science knows no ethical bounds – yay! Remember The Terminator? I’ll be back … yes, we all thought that was a fun movie … but nein! It vass nein a movie! That’s your kids and grandkids. Why make robots of steel when you can just use what already exists? A human being has better systems than any MIT grad can make in his robot laboratory. And, Holy Pinocchio, are they making them! The Israelis are already making robots that know kung-fu and can distinguish between an Israeli and a Palestinian when it pulls the trigger – and never makes a mistake (as far as Israeli news outlets will tell you). Russia and America and China and everybody else who is trying their darndest to fuck up this planet are horny for AI. Those two little letters will be the end of humanity as we know it. When evolution takes too long (I don’t have 1 million years to grow gills, dammit!) then science will propel evolution to light-speed! Your brain will be hooked up to other brains and you will be told how to think and what to think about and what to love and to hate and what to buy and whom to hate and whom to love. Emotions are commodities. Did you catch your son trying on mommy’s nylons and liking the feel? Not to worry, that’s not where MIT wants the kid to go. Instead, he will take daddy’s crossbow or AR-15 and pretend he’s a soldier on the hunt as he skulks through his neighborhood at night … that’s a good little “evolved” future human. Without free will, the human being and the AI robot, or Terminator cyborg, is essentially the same thing! But the human has a lot less metal, but, alas, more injuries … so Elon and Gates and others will transform parts of the flesh of Homo sapiens into steel so when they’re sent into a war zone (Semper Fi injected straight into their brains) then they will last longer than a regular human who might get scared and run from the unjust war. The MIT geeks can abide cowards! And when we’re all robots for the future 10 people who own everything … paradise will finally be lost. https://lighthousenewsnetwork.com/terminating-homo-sapiens-for-paradise-lost/?feed_id=11065&_unique_id=674b7ede27b91

- I adore the piano and so I am here for this video of a guy playing the Top 10 Most Iconic Piano Intros of All Time. (Though I quibble with his order...) - Courtesy of Gothamist, this is by turns hilarious and frightening... Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it - If you loved comics in the 80s, the name Frank Miller looms large in your personal pantheon. Well, Frank has had a rough few years, though he’s fortunately doing much better now. "When Death Came For Frank Miller" - A data scientist excoriates the AI hype-train in a piece that just had to be titled "I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again" - A truly wonderful piece from the L.A. Times in which the author rails against the tendency to deify John Barth for his early work and ignore his later work. As a fan of all eras of Mr. Barth, I heartily endorse this viewpoint! - Lastly, as a gigantic Paradise Lost nerd, I was thrilled to see this story: Scholars discover rare 16th-century tome with handwritten notes by John Milton (This piece comes from my newsletter, which goes out monthly.

PB is definitely gonna add more Abaddon nobles alongside the introduction of Asmodeus

I have some theories about they might be like

a fallen angel that was kicked out of heaven for nutting and/or taking off his chastity belt (which was against their rules)

an incubus that can shapeshift between a man and woman

a demon who prefers to fvck humans he still fvcks other demons but only occasionally (he hopes to one day surpass the number of humans Asmodeus slept with)

Someone hornier than Phenix

but those are just theories GAME THEORIES

[chriswick47]

At first glance, Palau is a dream—turquoise waters, jungle-covered cliffs, and a people steeped in tradition. But behind the postcard views, something dark is unfolding. A quiet war is being waged, and the island is the battleground. The United States has moved in quietly, building airstrips and radar stations, embedding itself deep into the heart of this tiny island nation. They say it’s about defense, about keeping the peace. But peace is the first thing to die when great powers start playing games. Meanwhile, strange forces creep in from the shadows. Outsiders with deep pockets and deeper agendas are buying up land, cozying up to politicians, and setting down roots. Casinos pop up where coconut groves once stood. Quiet villages now see drug deals and foreign whispers in the dark. Palau, once untouched and proud, is slowly being pulled apart.
