CoM – Il Blog di Carlo Becchi Compreresti un Raggio della Morte usato, da quest'uomo?

2gen/07105

Ed ora un po' di sana blasfemia!

La H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society ha prodotto due meraviglie musicali: una coppia di CD di canzoni "natalizie" ma dedicati a divinità meno rassicuranti del neonato Salvatore, che rispondono ai nomi di Shub-Niggurath, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth e ovviamente, l'onnipresente Cthulhu.

La copertina di An Even Scarier SolsticeI due CD, A Very Scary Solstice e An Even Scarier Solstice, sono capolavori che non si limitano a sostituire "Merry Christmas" con "Scary Solstice" nei canti tradizionali, ma presentano testi che non potranno che esaltare gli amanti delle opere dello scrittore di Providence.

E' con preoccupante naturalezza che "Joy to the World" diventa "Death to the World"; "Jingle Bells" si trasforma in "Cthulhu lives" ed in "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" il simpatico portatore di regali viene divorato e sostituito dall'agglomerato bubbonico e divino noto come Yog-Sothoth.

Un esempio di cotanto genio musicale, degno dell'arabo pazzo Abdul Alhazred, ci viene da Carol of the Old Ones che potete scaricare ed ascoltare da qui, mentre seguite il testo:

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here.
They will reclaim all in their name;
Hopes turn to black when they come back.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it's theirs again

Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom

Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice

Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they're all around
They will return: mankind will learn
New kinds of fear when they are here

Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars are now right.
Eons have passed: now then at last
Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!
Madness will reign, terror and pain
Woes without end where they extend.
Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
Where they ruled then: it's theirs again

Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
Bode a returning season of doom

Scary scary scary scary solstice
Very very very scary solstice

Up from the sea, from underground
Down from the sky, they're all around.

Fear

(Look to the sky, way up on high
There in the night stars now are right)

They will return.

Diciamocelo francamente, esiste modo migliore per concludere queste feste, che passarle in compagnia di Azathoth, il dio cieco e demente che gorgoglia e bestemmia al centro dell'universo?
