中央社记者黄慧敏台北四日电
曾於一月号以「2007年话题乐团」称呼台湾闪灵乐团的英国知名音乐杂志「Terrorizer」
,在刚发行的四月号中再次以两页大篇幅报导闪灵,并独家刊出闪灵先前在海德公园拍摄
的宣传照。
报导的标题以「Why does their music soundso beautifully sad?」点出闪灵音乐华丽
却悲伤的特色,在文中不仅单就闪灵作品探讨,更深入探讨台湾受殖民统治的历史以及背
後累积情感所孕育的创作能量,让英国青年读者透过闪灵能深入了解台湾的历史文化背景
。
除了跨页大篇幅的报导以外,Terrorizer更在本期第一页的目录页中独家刊登一月底闪灵
在海德公园拍摄的宣传照片,让本期杂志成为许多闪灵欧美乐迷的收藏指标。

#156 - EDITORIAL
With the obvious exception of 'Chinese Democracy', it's unlikely that any
album this year will have as much to prove as Mayhem's 'Ordo Ad Chao'. This
is a band who are central to the black metal mythology, whose 'De Mysteriis
Dom Sathanas' stands as one of the genre's highest standards, and yet for
almost a decade have been suffering a crisis of identity. Their last two
albums ' the diffuse, experimental 'A Grand Declaration Of War' and the
unspectacular attempt to get back on track that was 'Chimera' ' showed a band
unsure how to further their legacy, whilst the nihilistic edge that had
resulted in the murder and suicide of lore had subsided into addictions to
drugs and drink that not only sucked the life out of many of their gigs, but
threatened to tear the band apart. Mayhem were lost, their power squandered,
and any further disappointments would have cast them as an irrelevance, a
hangover to be shrugged off.
As it turns out, 'Ordo Ad Chao' is just the revelation we needed. It's not a
'good Mayhem album', it's difficult, demanding, devoid of relief, a turgid
miasma like descending to the river Styx only to find that it's in the
process of congealing into sludge. With the return of fearless former
vocalist Attila Csihar to the fold, Mayhem have rediscovered the vast, barren
spirit of 'De Mysteriis...', only to let it loose amongst new, unfathomable
terrain. Perhaps they've caught some of the monged-out wrongness of Blut Aus
Nord and later Meshuggah, but they've withdrawn it into their own dark night
of the soul, touched on black metal's nerve centre and made it resonate once
more. Will 'Ordo Ad Chao' prove just as divisive as 'A Grand Declaration...'
or a new era for Mayhem? One of the central tenets of black metal is at
stake, and inside we get up close and personal with the band as we get the
inside story of the tempestuous years that gave rise to such a monster, the
internal ructions that led to the departure of Maniac and the personal trials
that have been articulated in such disturbing fashion ' a tale not for the
faint hearted.
This month also brings our Art Special to a close as we look at the
psychedelic world of poster art, and get a revealing insight from the revered
illustrator, Dave McKean.
We also bring you the remarkable story of Taiwanese
black metallers, ChthoniC, a band steeped in the turbulence of both ancient
and modern history, and next month we take you even further afield to reveal
how metal thrives in the harshest of climates; all proof that extreme music
plays by the highest of stakes.
