Never again

July 22, 2016 by Line Evensen Leave a Comment

Today is a day of mourning here in Norway.

It’s been 5 years since our government quarter was bombed. 5 years since the Utøya massacre, where a right-wing extremist executed 69 people – most of them teenagers – at the Norwegian Labour party’s summer camp for youths. It’s our 9/11. It is almost impossible to imagine the horror these youths and children experienced, trapped on an island with a terrorist and his semi-automatic weapons and expandable ammunition. He laughed as he walked around, shouting “you are going to die today, marxists!”. They had nowhere to hide.

77 people died that day. Hundreds were injured and traumatized. And the terrorist was one of us.

Today Utøya is a memorial and a center for learning about what happened there on 22nd July 2011. The Labour youth party still arranges summer camps on the tiny island, shaped as a heart.

I’m writing this as I’m listening to Harakiri for the Sky and their heartbreaking song ’69 Dead Birds for Utøya’. You should to.

 

Is it true, that we are nothing but handprints on a misty pane?
How can we fall asleep while the world is still burning?
How shall I sleep, when I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders?
How shall I sleep?
How shall I sleep?

Everytime you think the most stupefying incident in this world already happened,
there comes one more.

 

If you want to learn more about what happened, I recommend reading these:

The book, which was originally released in his native language polish back in 2012, was called ‘Spowiedź Heretyka. Sacrum Profanum’, and became a bestseller. We’re pretty sure it will repeat the bestselling now that it will be available in english. The biography contains all about Nergal’s life, including love life, musical career, religious views, and his battle against life threathening cancer.

While waiting for the release, we urge you to check out Nergal’s teaser trailers here:

Krist Mort Inlumaeh

The book contains 90 pages of color aswell as black and white photographs from 2011 to present. It comes with a special CD which Russian esoterist Lamia Vox exclusively recorded for this project, and is limited to 450 copies. The textured hardbound cover has a gold foil debossing and a matte varnish, and is designed by our fellow Norwegians Trine+Kim. Everything has been released by Cyclic Press – a new division of Cyclic Law, a Canadian Record Label.

Krist Mort Inlumaeh

Krist Mort tells us that the word ‘Inlumaeh’ relates to the connection and interaction of light and darkness.
– Where there is illumination a shadow is always cast and therefore all shadows originate in light. This kind of symbiosis is, what all of my images are about – the strange connection between two things so utterly different, yet they still relate to each other and cannot be without the other. Life and death, creation and destruction…
