Here is a global collection of songs from the last 12 years. This is not "best of", but rather a kind of reinterpretation of Zeitgeist. The new compilation is a group portrait of the band that entered a new era for itself in 2008, along with the release of the album "Book of kings". However, "XII" is not a summing up, as the story goes on. https://para-bellvm.bandcamp.com/album/xii-collection-2008-2020

I need some new LJ friends. I started using LJ back in 2001, but I haven't been very active here in a few years. I'm trying to become more active here again, because quite frankly, I always felt that LJ was far superior to any other social networking site out there. And none of my LJ friends from the early years post anymore. Matter of fact, there are ZERO posts on my "friends page", and that is realy sad. :(

Anyway, my name is Ricky. I live in Oklahoma City. I'm 33. I'm the vocalist of a brutal death metal band. I'm a follower of Christ and I try to be true to my faith to the best of my ability (there's far too many "Christians" out there who give Christ a bad name by spewing hate, rather than showing the love of Christ... I try to avoid being one of those hateful people who misrepresent what my God is all about). I was a DJ for a radio station here in OKC for 5 years. I also had my own online radio show for 3 years. I own my own record label. I'm rooted in metal, but I listen to a lot of different things except for country, rap, hip hop, r&b, and pop. I hate that crap. I listen to a lot of goth/industrial music. I LOVE classical music. I like a lot of celtic music. New Age music is awesome! And I'm a sucker for 80's music. As you can tell, music is my passion. I love horror movies and sci-fi movies. Love going to shows. Love playing shows more. And I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

If there are any like-minded people out there who still actually use LJ, add me! :)

Take care, and God bless!

I saw this article in the NY Times online about a play based on the apocryphal Gnostic gospels, in which Jesus is married to Mary Magdalene. Apparently the play isn't very good, but I think it says a lot about our times that ppl are trying to push a false gospel than the truth. It's not like Jesus' actual life isn't interesting, compelling, and full of drama on its own. But people would rather believe a lie that makes Him seem more "normal" and less God.

Anywho, thoughts? I didn't mean to soapbox.

It is the summertime. The time has come for us to escape the stifling heat of the cities, not to mention the choking fumes of the Industrial Revolution..

To the country! To the GARDEN!

Hi, I'm a Christian--just watching the kids while my wife is at dialysis. I've never looked the part of Goth, but I have always loved the music since I was about 13. First thing I ever remember hearing was Depeche Modes Music For the Masses in my cousins ancient toyota supra when I was like 10 or something and slightly before that--when I was at a presbyterian church, at bible school week or whatever I found out some girl--who was miss mack, all dressed in black with rows of silver buttons all down her back(reference to Book of Love song--and I know most guys don't know who book of love is, but this one does), I found out she liked me. So, things progressed and we found ourselves in front of a fence, with holes in it, with a view of the playground on the other side. And she was like, lets not kiss here--she was 13, I was 10 and so on, so we ended up behind a recycle bin newspaper thingy and kiss and it was NASTY. No offence to her, but I didnt know what a real kiss was, but she shows me. Her fave band was depeche mode and she wore all black and that was my proper introduction to Goth. Though, in those days it was called "MOD" or something to that effect.

My testimony--I grew up christian, surrounded by God, but didn't know much about him. Presbyterian church won't really tell you much, cause that's where I went till 18 and I didn't learn a thing about the Lord Jesus Christ or what he had for me and my life. I grew up in a christian Boys home, cause somewhere a long the way I was bad...and at 19 someone showed me--Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are all the same thing. Before that, the whole Jesus thing didn't make much sence to me. Then later on, I began to ask myself--what happens when you Die? I dont know. So, I looked in to Hary Christna (whatever its called) Satanism and Wicca (witchcraft) and I was a witch for a little bit. But, then I saw a demon (for real) or something very evil in my bedroom--black mist that left drops of water on my bed that eventually evaporated. So, in conclusion--I got in to lots of ghost hunting to figure out what I saw and turning back to christianity, I realized, the more you mess with wanting to see spirits, the more you believe--the more you will see. And guess what--its a switch that cannot be turned off now. I can dim the switch, but even though I am christian I see and feel things all the time. More feel than anything and I tell my wife when it happens. Because of that scary thing I saw once I sleep with a shirt over my face, but when a room or area is particularly bad, I get messed with before I try to sleep--its gets darker in front of my closed eyes and it feels like a blanket of evil has been wrapped around me--its very annoying and sometimes, atleast once so far, they, have tried to pull the shirt off my face--other things have happened, I can't talk about that are far more personal, but just don't go ghost hunting k? Promise me--if you want to see, you will...and like a pringle--once you start, it won't stop...

What is a Christian? Well, there was this guy named adam and this girl named eve and both being responsible people then fell in to sin and because we sin--God said we must Die. But, he sent his Son to die for our sins (Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord) Then theres something cool in the book of  Matthew 7:7-8 ask, and it shal be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 
So, all you have to do is want the Lord Jesus Christ in your life. Trust me, if you remain in his will--that is obey his commandments and don't sin habitually, he will reward you--the bible says to pray without ceasing, it says to lay your treasures up on heaven and not here, it says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Which Version of the bible is Correct? Thats simple--The Textus Receptus (latin for received text), the 1611, or the any King James version. And why? Its a matter of the personal pronouns. The NIV is written as if someone were telling you about the word of God. Whereas, the Kings James version is a word for word translation from Greek text--and trust me, they stressed about getting the word of God right, they wanted a GOOD traNslation and werent about to mess it up. The KJVersion of the bible change the way english was written and spoken, because before that everything was Elizabethan super properly written english. So if all the thee's and the thy's and Ye's bug you in the King James verion just look at one statement. thee is a singular personal pronoun meaning God was refering to one person whereas anything with a Y like Ye and God was speaking to more than one person. Just compare for yourself KJV Genesis 3:3 with NIV Genisis 3:3 and you will see that from that, the NIV will throw you way off because it sounds like satan is just talking to EVE. But when you read the kjv, you can see from the proper word for word translation, that Satan is talking to EVE, but is refering to both Adam and EVE. Its the difference in the word YOU (NIV) and YE (KJV)--Ye, meaning both Adam and EVE and yes, it matters--God is not a God of mistakes...

Later--
