Die Weisse Rose - As The Last Of the Rose Petals Are Shattered (Video)





Once again Giorgis Kormikiaris edited a beautiful video. The song As The Last Of the Rose Petals Are Shattered is taken from the album A Martyrium Of White Roses.





Die Weisse Rose is founded in 2001 in Denmark, by Thomas Bøjden.Formed  This musical project was formed as a creative output for documenting various historical events, through what Wagner called “Gesamtkunstwerke” - a total work of art. Combining electronical elements, fieldrecordings and real instruments through an optic that resembles a kaleidoscopical view of history, thus making the music of DIE WEISSE ROSE as indebted to the History Channel and litterature as they are to Throbbing Gristle and Richard Wagner. 






Die Weisse Rose has Hover the years collaborated with: Foresta Di Ferro, Allerseelen, :Of The Wand And The Moon:, Blood Axis, Rome

More than concerts, Die Weisse Rose’s live performances ( of Thomas Bøjden and the Misantropical Tabernacle Choir)  should been seen and celebrated as elaborate rituals, where element such as uniforms, burning torches, snippets of old schlägers, segments from documentary films and philosophical proclamations are carefully wowen together by orgies of electronic sounds, violins and accordion and drum beating like a military parade gone terribly astray.

Lux Interna - Nida





Lux Interna crafts aural altars to the inner light. Formed by Joshua Levi Ian and Kathryn Mary, the project has hosted a shifting constellation of talents over the years, each leaving their trace upon the musical landscape. Through tapestries of minor chords, voices, delicate drones
and violent sprawls of sound, Lux Interna has continued to hymn the hidden god with impassioned intensity, seeking fire in the tension between transcendence and immanence.



The song Nida is taken from the album  There Is Light In The Body, There Is Blood In The Sun
Video edited by Giorgos Kormikiaris





Lyrics:
Into the heart of the woods
the light of the sap the face of all things good
in a blue church in Nida
I held Your hand

Your fingers entwined with mine
listen! they are bringing fire
from the next world and songs to sing away
the grey mask of Time
circling I saw the birds weave
together the broken body of G-d

re-membering the Divine
re-membering the Divine

and there crosshatched in
amongst the pooling shadows
I could read the names in the grain of the wood
by the light of Your body
and the flame of Your Tongue

a soft skin of silence
covered over all sad things
and I held You close
looking into the Face of
ALL THINGS GOOD

a gift given
from the heart of the wood
a gift given
from the heart of the wood

and the birds have left the fields but not Her heart
and the birds have left the fields
but not her heart

Christian Death - The Drowning



New video for the classic song The Drowning from Christian Death, edited by Giorgos Kormikiaris. Vocals by Rozz Williams, who committed suicide on April 1, 1998 



Christian Death is an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1979 by Rozz Williams. With their debut album Only Theatre of Pain (1982), they became a highly influential act, heralding the American gothic rock and deathrock movements.
After having booked a European tour, Christian Death broke up amid band in-fighting and drug abuse. Williams assembled a new version of the band in 1983 by merging with their scheduled opening act, another L.A. rock band, Pompeii 99. This lineup included guitarist Valor Kand, vocalist-keyboardist Gitane Demone and drummer David Glass. The band went on to record their next two albums, Catastrophe Ballet and Ashes, under this lineup.



In 1985, Rozz Williams left Christian Death, in part due to his increasing interest in experimental music and performance art. Valor Kand took over leadership, serving as lead vocalist and songwriter.
During the late '80s, Rozz Williams resurrected his own version of Christian Death, with his wife Eva O contributing guitar as well as vocals. Billing themselves as the original Christian Death, they were rejoined by first-album guitarist Rikk Agnew for a 1989 tour of Canada. The band was signed to Cleopatra Records, and released The Iron Mask, Skeleton Kiss EP, The Path of Sorrows and The Rage of Angels under the Christian Death name.

Up for three days
Up for three days
Down under ground for six more
Incisions cannot penetrate my feet
Tripping, gliding, falling numbly
Hands held together with unwanted skin
Ripping, hiding calling dumbly

You, in houses of mud
You, in gutter sleep-love
You, born to slaughter-swathed gloves
You dressing daughters and sons
Like you, I am broken and fragile
Like you, I am tasting my heart for the first time
Like you, I am feeding on slumber
Like you, I've left my eyes far behind me
Down for the count I'm still drowning
I'm still drowning

The eighth day
Sleep, the eighth day
Clawed my way back to the first
No gentle fingers collapse on my eyes
Weeping, prying, struggling blindly
There's no sanity standing me back on my feet

I'm in an empty room
I'm burning books from you
I'm lost in bed with you
Breaking these mirrors to end all I've seen

Like you, I am broken and fragile
Like you, I am tasting my heart for the first time
Like you, I am feeding on slumber
Like you, I've left my eyes far behind me
Down for the count I'm still drowning
I'm still drowning
I'm still drowning
