Eyaculacion Postmortem - Temblad, Temblad Malditos

EYACULACION POST-MORTEM
#Barcelona, Spain#

Genre: Afterpunk/Siniestro/Elektroskuro



"Viva la Muerte por el amor de Dios!"

Band Members: J.Oskura (cien veces bendito) al Theremín y los teclados, Speed Limone (Delincuente y Eyaculador) a la guitarra, Dark Punk (Violento e historiador) al bajo y Guacho (Máquina Eyaculadora) a la batería.
Eyaculación Post Mortem nace en Sabadell con la idea inicial de J.Oscura Nájera de crear un proyecto musical after punk…después de diferentes intentos, aliens y bandas, crean “La Oscura hermandad”; un grupo de gentes dedicadas a la música, el cine, y al arte en general visto de una perspectiva naturalmente terrorífica, amantes del cine expresionista es de ahí de donde nace “Eyaculación Post Mortem”…bajo, secuencias, teclados y guitarra son tan solo la parte de arriba de una base electro. Mejor dicho; elektro.

Una banda que crea para bailar, para mover el esqueleto, donde es imposible mantenerte sereno…Techno, EBM, Elektroskuro! After Punk!!!…Guitarras que abarcan desde metal, hasta el down más tremendo. Sátira de un mundo podrido, sátira de una realidad más enferma que cualquier suposición…siendo definitiva en su música la unión entre el cine y el sonido, secuencias divertidas de películas o psicofonías, el blanco y negro del expresionismo hecho música…

Eyaculación Post-Mortem se describe como un cambio de estado mental a estado magnético sobre pensamientos efímeros víctimas también de ésta transformación de elementos.

Nace en Barcelona como organización con fines maléficos y paranormales recopilando sonidos y malas ideas, pero no es hasta el año 2001 que se decide juntar todo ello por primera vez en un disco llamado “La Oscura Hermandad” que sería editado a principios del 2002 por “La Oscura Ceremonia”, cofradía a la que pertenece la banda desde sus inicios.

Enseguida comienzan los primeros conciertos y hacen falta diferentes manos para llevarlos a cabo, por lo que diferentes miembros de la Oscura Hermandad van dando diferentes formas a los sucesivos directos, hasta que a principios del año 2003 deciden grabar su segundo tratado: “De los Muertos y su Costumbres”, disco que sería re-editado en el 2005 en una sucia versión Navideña con una ouija como regalo para celebrar las fiestas.

A principios de ese mismo año 2005 se editó el tercer album de EPM ahora con mas mala intención, su titulo fue “El Analizador de Espectros”, y dejó reflejar raices e influencias que no habian quedado reflejadas en los anteriores trabajos.

En directo la banda comparte escenario durante todo este tiempo con bandas como Das Ich, Melotrón, Clan of Ximox, Sex Gang Children, Unheilig, In my Rosary, Monster Zoku Onsomb...

En el 2007 sale su cuarto album “Temblad Temblad Malditos”, producido por J.Oskura Nájera como los anteriores trabajos, y actualmente escenifican el directo el própio J.Oskura (cien veces bendito) al Theremín y los teclados, Speed Limone (Delincuente y Eyaculador) a la guitarra, Dark Punk (Violento e historiador) al bajo y Guacho (Máquina Eyaculadora) a la batería.

Happy New Year!

I did not kiss, but tore him?

So it was a mistake. Kisses, bites...
They sound alike, and those who deeply love
Can reach for one as well as for the other...

Punk Temple Faces, Pt 2: May 3, 2003

Photos and text (c) Robert Barry Francos

This, the Punk Temple, of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, was a very loyal scene, supported by a group of kids who went to see shows, no matter who was playing. For this, the got to see the lows (such as Pop Star Kids) to the highs (so many...Miracle of 86 [with Kevin Devine], Monty Love, The Nerve!, and TreePhort, and some unknown bands, like the Plain White T's). Brooklyn was represented with bands local like the Inhuman and Dreams Forever Drowning, but there was also some national touring bands from the whole East Coast that would play.

Because of this support, you may likely see some of the same faces come up again and again.

Amalie Skram

Bergen has its share of statues. As usual they depict politicians and various cultural personalities, most commonly men. One of the few made to commemorate a woman is this one of the female writer Amalie Skram. Wikipedia describes her literary life like this:

In 1882 Amalie Skram debuted under the name Amalie Mueller with Madam Høiers Leiefolk. Her work continued until her death. She dealt with topics she knew well.

Her work can be divided into three categories:

• Novels concerning marriage, which explored taboo topics such a female sexuality, and the subservient status of women in that period. These works was received by many as overly provocative and resulted in open hostility from some segments of society.
• Multi-generation novels, which dealt with the fate of a family over several generations. With these she explored the social institutions and conditions of the time and campaigned for change.
• Mental hospital works such as Prof Hieronimus and Paa St. Jørgen, which deal with the primitive and brutal conditions of such institutions of the period. Her novels created a major stir in Denmark and precipitated improvements in these institutions.

She is recognized as one of the early and strong proponents of what has come to be known as the women's movement, setting the early European early trend. Her works, which had been generally forgotten with her death, were rediscovered and received strong recognition in the 1960s. Several of her works are currently available in recent translations to English.

The Statue was made by the female sculptor Maja Refsum in 1949 and is placed at "Klosteret" on "Nordnes" in Bergen

12 Most Amazing Lost Cities in the World

The breathtaking city of Petra was a vibrant trading hub that vanished from most maps in the seventh century A.D. It lay beneath a thousand years of dust and debris when, in 1812, a Swiss scholar disguised as a Bedouin trader identified the ruins as the ancient Nabataean capital.

Spread throughout a series of remote desert canyons in southern Jordan, Petra arose more than 2,000 years ago at the crossroads of key caravan trade routes between Arabia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. The Nabataeans carved most of the sprawling city's buildings, including temples, tombs, and theaters, directly into the region's towering red sandstone cliffs. Here, a Bedouin walks his camel past Petra's most famous building, Al Khazneh, or the Treasury

The earliest Maya began to settle the dense rain forests of southwestern Mexico and Guatemala some 3,000 years ago. For nearly 1,400 years, settlements arose throughout the region, with some, like Tikal and Palenque (shown here), expanding into large, vibrant city-states.

Although the archaeological discovery of Machu Picchu came nearly a hundred years ago, historians are still unsure of the function of this ancient Inca citadel.

The Inca had no system of writing and left no written records, and archaeologists have been left to piece together bits of evidence as to why Machu Picchu was built, what purpose it served, and why it was so quickly vacated.


Myth, folklore, mystery, and intrigue surround the ancient city of Troy like no other ruin on Earth. Once thought to be purely imaginary, a prop in Homer's epic poem The Iliad, excavations in northwestern Turkey in 1871 eventually proved that the city indeed existed.

In 1871, German adventurer Heinrich Schliemann began digging at Hisarlik, Turkey, (shown here) in search of the fabled city. His roughshod excavation wrought havoc on the site, but revealed nine ancient cities, each built on top of the next and dating back some 5,000 years. At the time, most archaeologists were skeptical that Troy was among the ruins, but evidence since the discovery suggests the Trojan capital indeed lies within the site.

The Indus Valley civilization was entirely unknown until 1921, when excavations in what would become Pakistan revealed the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro (shown here).

This mysterious culture emerged nearly 4,500 years ago and thrived for a thousand years, profiting from the highly fertile lands of the Indus River floodplain and trade with the civilizations of nearby Mesopotamia.

There is evidence that the ancient city of Palmyra, also known as Tadmor, was in existence as far back as the 19th century B.C. Its importance grew around 300 B.C. as trading caravans began using it as a way station between Mesopotamia and Persia. Palmyra's strategic location and prosperity attracted the interest of the Romans, who took control of the city in the first century A.D.

The city of Tanis is relatively unknown among Egypt's wealth of historical sites, though it yielded one of the greatest archeological troves ever found. Once the capital of all Egypt, Tanis's royal tombs have yielded artifacts on par with the treasures of Tutankhamun.

Once thought (erroneously) to be a city of the biblical Queen of Sheba, Great Zimbabwe stands as the most important archaeological site yet found in sub-Saharan Africa. Though historians are still seeking answers about the origin and purpose of the city, evidence suggests the Shona, ancestors of the modern Bantu, built it beginning around A.D. 1250 and that it served as a spiritual center.

Nimrud in northern Iraq was once the capital of the Assyrian empire. Feared as bloodthirsty and vicious, the Assyrians arose around the 14th century B.C. and dominated the Middle East for a thousand years. Nimrud and the Assyrian Empire declined rapidly around 612 B.C., after Nimrud's sister city, Nineveh, fell to the Babylonians.

The ancient city of Persepolis in modern-day Iran was one of four capitals of the sprawling Persian Empire. Built beginning around 520 B.C., the city was a showcase for the empire's staggering wealth, with grand architecture, extravagant works of silver and gold, and extensive relief sculptures such as this one portraying envoys with offerings for the king.

The height of Persian rule lasted from about 550 B.C. until 330 B.C., when Alexander the Great overthrew the ruling Archaemenid dynasty and burned Persepolis to the ground.

Over centuries of study, archaeologists have discovered many truths about the famed Stonehenge monument in southern England. But despite these advances, the basic questions of who built this iconic structure and why have remained unanswered.

More than 600 cliff dwellings made by the ancestral Pueblo people, also known as the Anasazi, are scattered throughout Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado (shown here).

The Anasazi arrived in the region as early as A.D. 550, building their homes and cultivating crops on the soaring mesa tops. Around 1150, though, they began to move their dwellings to the alcoves within the canyon walls. Most houses were quite small, but a few reached enormous proportions, housing up 250 people.
