Interesting, especially since I had literally forgotten about it until your post! Looking through the Wikipedia article on it, I guess I can see why it wasn’t picked up much since it doesn’t seem to fit into any kind of narrative.

Are there any books you can recommend about the construction of the whole Christmas “tradition?”

Oh weird - just noticed that Wikipedia lists the track lengths as 6:41, which is also matched by Bandcamp. For some reason my Plex app shows it at 6:42 though…

I’m amazed at the counterpoint between the guitars and bass. And I mean counterpoint like in the literal Baroque sense.

Nice! Weinberg 21 was a revelation for me, and really got me hooked on Weinberg. Love the last movement especially - reminds me of the “ewig, ewig” from das lied von der erde, but produces the opposite feeling - one of uneasiness and a lack of closure.

Last thing I’ll say is that I love the band logo on the album cover. Absolutely indecipherable, like all good logos should be.

And then how the riff constantly transforms throughout the piece so subtly that you almost don’t notice it - but try to hum along and you’ll see what I mean.

And I can’t get over the main riff from the title track - when it hits 4 minutes into the song it feels like all that metal is supposed to be - an absolute “fuck yeah!” moment like a grim reaper riding a spectral horse out of a flaming chasm in the earth.

Asking for real FWIW. I’m open to the idea that he’s actually a leftist, and I agree that people are trying to will him into being a groyper, but I think the Occam’s razor explanation is that he has a grab-bag of weird beliefs and is terminally online, similar to other recent shooters.

I mean, are there recent examples of people using Bella Ciao as an actual anti-fascist anthem? Seems to me like it’s something from a game and not sure it points towards any particular set of politics beyond “online.”
