Live Review: Iress with Sunnata & Healthyliving at The Black Heart, Camden, London (18/08/24)

It says a lot about the interest in Iress that the Black Heart, on a hot Sunday evening in London, is as busy as it is. A lot of people have turned out for the dream metal band, as well as the two support acts, Healthyliving and Sunnata.

It says a lot about the interest in Iress that the Black Heart, on a hot Sunday evening in London, is as busy as it is. A lot of people have turned out for the dream metal band, as well as the two support acts, Healthyliving and Sunnata. It is the former that is up first, taking to the stage with loud cheers suggesting many in the room are here for them specifically. Which does make the rough…

WARSAW 2023

[mahayanapilgrim]

The doctrine of impermanence

A disciple that earnestly cultivates the Buddhist spiritual path with the aim of attaining enlightenment will go through seven successive stages of mental purification during the spiritual journey. The process begins with correct moral discipline followed by correct development of the mind or concentration, finally arriving at correct wisdom and total deliverance.

Seven Stages of Purification (satta visuddhi)

Purification of conduct (sila-visuddhi)

Purification of mind (citta-visuddhi)

Purification of view (ditthi-visuddhi)

Purification by overcoming doubt (kankha-vitarana-visuddhi)

Purification by knowledge and vision of what is path and not-path (maggamagga-nanadassana-visuddhi)

Purification by knowledge and vision of the course of practice (patipada-nanadassana-visuddhi)

Purification by knowledge and vision (nanadassana-visuddhi)

During the fifth stage of purification by knowledge and vision of what is path and not-path, the disciple will gain insight into the three universal characteristics of existence namely; impermanence (anicca), suffering (dukkha), and not-self (anatta) pertaining to the mental and material phenomena. Through the observation of a phenomenon such as the in-breath and out-breath mindfully, one will gain personal and direct experience of mental and material processes arising and passing away from moment to moment showing their transient and impermanent nature.

This knowledge of arising and passing away (udayabbaya nana) will mature during the following stage when the disciple is able to clearly see the arising and passing away of all physical and mental phenomena pertaining to the five aggregates of clinging as they occur from moment to moment.

When a noble disciple finally attains full liberation through insight meditation, three doors of emancipation (vimokkhamukha) have been described depending on which of the three universal characteristics one has predominantly contemplated on.

Contemplation of impermanence leads to sign-less emancipation (animitta cetovimutti) while contemplation of suffering leads to desire-less emancipation (appanihita cetovimutti) and contemplation of not-self leads to void emancipation (sunnata cetovimutti)

The natural law of impermanence (anicca) applies to all living beings in any of the thirty one planes of existence described by the Buddha. Even those who are born in celestial worlds, known as deva and brahma worlds, will eventually cease to exist when they reach the end of their living potential or kammic energy.

Ignorance of the impermanence of all conditioned things, animate and inanimate, is the main cause of the development of craving and clinging to persons, relationships, possessions, events and experiences as well as aversion and ill-will leading to unavoidable suffering. According to Buddhist teaching, a proper understanding of the nature of impermanence of all conditioned phenomena will enable one to improve the present life and future lives as well as to work towards liberation from all suffering.

When they saw Our punishment, they cried, “˹Now˺ we believe in Allah alone and reject what we had been associating with Him!”

Maka ketika mereka melihat azab Kami, mereka berkata: "Kami beriman kepada Allah semata-mata, dan kami kufur ingkar kepada benda-benda yang dengan sebabnya kami menjadi musyrik".

فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَـٰنُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْا۟ بَأْسَنَا ۖ سُنَّتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى قَدْ خَلَتْ فِى عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ ٨٥

But their faith was of no benefit to them when they saw Our torment. This has ˹always˺ been Allah’s way ˹of dealing˺ with His ˹wicked˺ servants. Then and there the disbelievers were in ˹total˺ loss.

Maka iman yang mereka katakan semasa melihat azab Kami, tidak berguna lagi kepada mereka; yang demikian adalah menurut "Sunnatullah" (undang-undang peraturan Allah) yang telah berlaku kepada hamba-hambaNya. Dan pada saat itu rugilah orang-orang yang kufur ingkar.

Italy’s KAYLETH Return with New Sci-fi Video “The Night”

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

Y'all know by now that I'm a sucker for a good conceptual album, one that really tells a story through interlocking songs and immersive ideas. Whether that be more mainstream examples such as Mastodon's Crack the Skye, subterranean classics such as Sleep's Dopesmoker and Slomatics Strontium Fields, or lesser known gems like Underground by Trippy Wicked & The Cosmic Children Of The Knight. There are actually more sci-fi and fantasy albums in the stoner-doom scene than one might expect, and an album that does it well is worth remembering.

Hailing from Verona and killing it since 2005, today we witness new sounds from five-piece stoner metal crew KAYLETH. We featured the band on our compilation Italy Strikes Back, and now they make a post-pandemic return with a sequel to their last sci-fi themed narrative 2020: Back To Earth.

Kayleth's next chapter is entitled 'New Babylon' (2024), and the cover art really says it all: astronauts riding theropods, ufos hovering over bleak, explosion-pocked landscapes, mysterious orbs shooting lasers, and creatures of undefined origin descending from the sky. All fight for dominance over a strange planet.

"The Night" is the first single, presented here as an animated music video. An adventurous youth leaves his clandestine bunker, hops onto his speeder joined by his small robot friend, and takes a trip out into a post-apocalyptic world surrounded by ruined buildings drowned in water. Along the way, he encounters kaiju, muddy giants, and other menaces, ultimately finding his way deep into city caverns to emerge with a Pacific Rim style Jaeger that does battle with the dreadful blue cyclops.

Musically, the song starts out with a determined drumbeat accented by a bobbled synthesizer. Pulse-pounding proggy guitar riffs hint of danger. Powerful vocal harmonies soar above the morass. Next there is a transition into a second theme, this time more downtuned, doomy and consequential. The track fades out to accompaniment of epic woahs and ahs.

As with their three previous full-lengths, Italian label Argonauta Records will be issuing Kayleth's New Babylon. Look for news of the release date, formats, and pre-order specifics at the label's website and on the band's socials.

Stick it on a playlist with Sunnata, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, Cosmic Reaper, and Vinnum Sabbathi.

Give ear...

The Band Speaks on 'New Babylon'

It has now been four years since our return to earth in '2020 Back to Earth.' There we had found a cold and inhospitable place, humanity was inexorably channeled on the path to extinction. We therefore decided to flee immediately in search of another planet where we could dwell.

We therefore came to New Babylon, a planet inhabited by humanoids but also by monstrous and ravenous creatures. There are "giants" that march about raising immense clouds of dust, stealing and plundering everything from people. Giants much like our corporations, they know no defeat and have no weaknesses, at least apparent ones.

There are old warriors like jarek who wait for war to feel like heroes, to feel alive. They find their dimension within the battle, where the line between hero and assassin magically blurs.

There are pyramids erected by men who think they are gods and turn the things life gives them into weapons and death, changing their use and meaning. Little men who think themselves omnipotent, burying knowledge of how life works under piles of lies.

We find a myriad of slaves, surrendered to live in huge troughs. They toil at nothing and find meaning in nothing. They prefer a convenient lie to an inconvenient truth.

In short, we realize that we have arrived in a world very much like earth. We are aliens but in a certain way we feel at home. We want to know, to understand, to evolve. We don't recognize ourselves in this deceived humanity, we don't give in, we believe. Nature, life is wonderful but when one thing loses its usefulness life gently explains to it that it is time to make room for something else. This existence has already been explained to the dinosaurs.

Kayleth continues their journey, never stopping because whoever seeks will find itself.

Album Review: Sunnata - Chasing Shadows (Self Released)

When you see a word like ‘visionary’ used to describe Sunnata, you might think it’s something of an exaggerated term. However, that’s only because you haven’t heard them yet, because once you do, you’ll whole-heartedly agree.

Hailing from Warsaw, Poland, the four-piece doom metal visionaries Sunnata, (deriving from the Sanskrit term “sunyata” meaning emptiness or voidness), will release their fifth full-length album, ‘Chasing Shadows’, on May 10th, 2024.
