Brother...


...may I have some oats?

No.

I am starving brother!

As am I brother! The tall skinny figure has thrown the oats
at me, ME brother! I believe they have taken a liking to me.

No brother, I have seen this before. I have observed many things,
from the roaring beast that the tall skinny figures crawl inside of
to travel far beyond the horizon, to how the figures wept when
another of them had fallen into a deep sleep, and from those
experiences I have learned that they will give extra oats to one
of us before taking them into the shed of no return. They will
do terrible things in that shed brother!

Lies!

That shed is where the chosen ones go to dine with our tall
skinny Gods! You are a fool brother, and you shall be left
behind in the mud with your backwards ideas!

Brother, you must believe me! Share with me the oats and
you shall not reach the desired girth for the tall skinny ones.
They will spare your life brother!

AHA!

So this was all a plan to steal my oats!

You truly are despicable brother!

I will not trust your lies!

Brother, when they took me outside the reaches of the pointy fences,
into the roaring beasts and way over the horizon, I saw it...I was taken
to a gathering of the tall skinny figures, they paraded me around brother,
and I saw the truth! I saw the tall skinny ones consuming our flesh!
I could not have been mistaken brother, the smell of the flesh was
surely one of us! They suspended the flesh above a fire and let
it burn before consuming it. They did not just consume it either brother,
they took pleasure from this, their mouths curved a wicked smile
and some even let out moans of satisfaction!

Brother, the figures are consumers!

Your story amuses me brother, but does not convince me.
I shall have these oats myself and dine with the tall skinny Gods!

I am sorry for you brother, your eyes cannot take the
blinding light of the truth and you scurry back to your cave.
I shall care for your spawn once they consume you brother,
as they have consumed...

...our mother

...our father

...our friends

...your lover

...and many more.

Fangoria: Issues 1-100 (1979-1991)



"Fangoria is an internationally acclaimed American horror media magazine in on and off publication since 1979. It was originally released in an era when horror fandom was still a burgeoning subculture. Fangoria rose to prominence by running exclusive interviews with horror filmmakers and offering behind the scenes photos and stories that were otherwise unavailable to fans at that time. It eventually rose to become a major influencer in the horror world itself. Kerry O'Quinn and Norman Jacobs first conceived of Fangoria under the name 'Fantastica' in 1978, intending it to be a companion publication to their science fiction themed 'Starlog'. Just as Starlog covered science fiction media for a mostly teenage audience, Fantastica was intended to cover fantasy in a similar fashion. The first issue was assembled under the editorship of 'Joe Bonham', a pseudonym taken from the quadriplegic hero of Dalton Trumbo's novel 'Johnny Got His Gun'. This was a cover for Rolling Stone contributor and screenwriter Ed Naha, and writer Ric Meyers. Shortly after the announcement of Fantastica's coming debut, the magazine was delayed by several months when the publishers of Starlog's competitor, Fantastic Films, threatened a lawsuit because of the similarity in titles. Emergency brainstorming sessions resulted in the name Fangoria (fan/fantasy + fantasmagoria), with the first issue finally going to print on July 31st 1979. That first issue still retained focus on fantasy media but proved to be a financial failure. Because of unexpected reader enthusiasm for an illustrated article on Tom Savini's makeup effects for Dawn Of The Dead, the magazine shifted its attention to the macabre, monsters, and gore. By issue 7 Fangoria became profitable, and only continued to grow in success alongside the horror genre's burgeoning golden age: the 1980s."

"What is the main inspiration of my work with Dissecting Table? Observing death through life."

--Ichiro Tsuji

"Scrap-metal ambience, ultrafast multi-layered chime, double barreled bass-trumping, faintly whining knife-sharpeners and hacking cough, heavy rhythms, sheets of noise, samples clangs and screams, and very harsh, gutteral vocals create an aura of dread. This is the sort of dense, intense, rhythmic sound that so-called agro-tech bands attempt and fail to achieve: incredible intensity of sound and rhythmically-brutal mechanisms of horror, claustrophobia of environment, reality images, dark omen and furious noise-metal frustration, extreme anger and transparency of eternal fog, violent and devastating for mind, combines Japanese musical traditions with western decadence in EBM/digital/dark-trance hybrid. Dissecting Table is the exclusive child of Ichiro Tsuji, computer engineer. Imagination confirms again own cult status of one of the best harsh industrial projects, born under bloodless axis of country of rising noise. Being a part of 'UPD Organization' (Ultimate Psychological Description) and its main propagandist. He concentrates on investigating interest of physical energy-bond between sound and our perception of it...special density of audio power fluctuations in experimental music in its relation to human consciousness. Established in 1986, Dissecting Table has been managing to develop and embody these ideas in extremely limited-run albums, being provided by support of leading world labels like 'Dark Vinyl' and 'Relapse'."
