Killswitch Engage, Kreator, y Stratovarius en Argentina

Killswitch Engage, Kreator, y Stratovarius en Argentina

Se me había pasado comentar hace bastante, que me hablaron de la venida de KSE a la Argentina, una banda de Metalcore estado-unidense. Aparentemente habían aparecido en una nota en el blog de la Rock & Pop, Jedbangers a finales de Julio.

Killswitch Engage - Reject Yourself

Y otra cosa que me sorprendio encontrar en Taringa, fue a Stratovarius, y Kreator mas Exodus en el mismo día el 14 y 20 de Octubre, respectivamente.
Hay que aclarar que probablemente sea el último show de Stratovarius, dado que aparentemente luego de esta gira la banda se va a disolver, tal como aparece en el blog Metalfromfinald, traducido de la página de Timo Tolkki.

Approximation to the 'hýbris'

Approximation to the 'hýbris'

Edition at September 26: Some things revisited.

So far it has been more than four years since I first heard about the word 'hybrid'. It literally means "The combination of two or more different things". I have tried several times to investigate where does the word comes from, but I never got a satisfactory answer. It appears that it derived from this Greek word 'Hubris' (also sometimes found as 'hýbris'), means something 'disproportionate' and it's the arrogance leading to a punishment by Nemesis.

Nietzche tries to approximate to an explanation of the Greek civilization, and the way they changed from Dionysus to Apollo on "The Birth of Tragedy". If Apollo's the light, then Dionysus was the darkness; if Apollo is balance, Dionysus is ecstasy, and so forth.
It doesn't necessarily has to be with going from Evil to Good. It apparently is the evolution from the flesh to the mind; Rephrased, it fits the way of thinking that was going on the time the Philosophy appeared on Greece, and so did Apollo and Athena.

My first theory (posted in here a couple weeks ago, or one) was that Dionysus was originally associated to this word. I'm afraid after a lot of digging, it's false, though there's one incident that involves Bacchus-Dionysus and some hubris (Pentheus against Dionysus) but obviously no direct relation on it.
It appears that during the Roman empire there was some usage of the 'hibrida' word, on the same aspect of 'god defiance'. By reading Lewis and Short's Latin Dictionary, you can see the Latin word 'hybrida' may be related to the Greek word 'hybris'.
But, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word 'Hybrid' is derived from Latin hybrida, meaning the "offspring of a tame sow and a wild boar".
Maybe the idea of these two beings breeding a hybrid IS defying the god's will, and therefore, a way of Hubris. Maybe not.

Back on my initial theory; Bacchus-Dionysus is usually pictured as an androgynous (a man who looks like a woman, or a vice-versa) god, associated with Centaurs and Ipotanes, both half-human, half-horse entities. There's some sort co-relation between the therms, but with this much of information, I can't be certain if I'm just speculating (Okay, I can be certain. I am speculating).

Nordic Mythology Articles

Nordic Mythology Articles

By looking into some of Therions' lyrics (more specifically, I googled "Byrghal", "Idher" "Sunna" and "Haghal"), I came across a website with tons of information about Nordic Mythology , Ganglieri, which means, and I quote:

"Gangleri" ("seeker") is the name king Gylfi took when he decided to travel to Asgard to question the Gods as you can read on the index page. As we are all seekers, I found this a fitting name

Among the things I have found interesting, you can check the Nine Worlds in the Nordic Mythology, the Rune Cross of Johannes Bureus, and the Christian Cabala.
The first one obviously talks about the different reigns in Nordic Mythology and I'm still reading the last one, which apparently explains the meaning behind the Cabala and a little of history about it.

On the Runic Cross topic; "Byrghal, Idher and Haghal" are all lyrics part of a Therion Song, "T.O.F, The Trinity" (Thor, Odin and Frey), so that's how I came across with it. There's little or no information at all on the internet, and it's unlikely I can get my hands on a Runic manual on a library around here.
Anyhow. 'Byrghal' apparently has a connection with a gate and it's also related to the 'Hospitality', Sunna means 'sun' in the old german, Idher would be 'Ice' or 'Solidity'; And the Haghal apparnetly means 'balance'.

It'd seem like they're all part of this Runic Cross and by looking into this website, the Fuþork runic system, and I'm only just deducing here without any other previous knowledge, that each one has different meanings, much like talking about Tarot Cards. The difference would be that, Runes act as 'mediator between the divine and human worlds'.

On another note, I also came across this website, the Kabbalah Education & Research Institute, which apparently offers introductionary courses about the Kabbalah
