Talk about black metal insanity within the realm of the extreme bands especially like Marduk on Panzer Division, but more variety exhibited here which gives the album more depth. Here we have a combination of amazingly orchestrated black metal frenzy that's apparent on every aspect of this album. If there's a true hell on Earth, this album reflects that killer type of vibe and just annihilates the listener with yes some experimental components and variety, not just a black metal album that's all about blast beats and you cannot hear the guitar too well because it's just a pure blur. Gorgoroth captures black metal on this album so transiently and fills it with such utter perfection.
Solid, crisp, melodic, intense, variability is apparent here and Gaahl just annihilating the scene with his utmost high-end screams which personifies a hellish demon of tronka that never loses it's extremity, Even when he's not spewing out lyrics, he's still screaming like a sheer madness and hatred towards mankind. A true album that one has to hear if you're a major fan of black metal played at its utmost finest. Even though the album starts off with craziness and black metal intensity, it mellows out on the latter tracks and becomes spoken word blasphemy mixed with moderate paced guitar work to back it up.
So yeah, what we have here in dissection of sheer brutality is black metal at it's utter demise and never to be replicated because of it's sheer Satanic hero-worship of the demons that lurk around in the afterlife. Gorgoroth blissfully captivates listeners because they're not afraid to reveal what they're all about. The guitars are like no other and the riffs just flow so well with the music it's like utter insanity; We may not know consciously what Gaahl is saying really when his spouts of blasphemic tone dynamites just as his high end screaming exasperates his heart fueled hatred upon the metal scene.
This album from start to finish never lets up in intensity and the music is so original and spellbinding. It is a true gem of an album just put on ear plugs obviously if you want to blare it out of your speakers. Really a domination within the black metal realm, Incipit Satan is an album never to be forgotten by this band. I don't think that any Gorgoroth album can ever duplicate a vibe so invigorating and captivating. It's truly a masterpiece in it's complexity and an dynamites your speakers causing utter blast in the speakers as well as your eardrums. This album is like no other in this scene, although Mayhem's De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas ranks up there too in utter black metal anti-Christianity and evil.
Experimental yes, but still driven with intensity no doubt. The guitars are a series of complexity and exoneration of brutality in riff writing that doesn't die out. Gaahl just overall makes the album more devilish by spewing out this utter evilness never to quit. Obliteration of mankind in a black metal realm. Guitars so much like no other, their distorted tone is so full of crunchy riffs that mainly are melodic at times, yet still intense not only that but utterly captivating. At the beginning of the album you would think that oh no this is another black metal album that just is like pure noise. With Incipit Satan you have variety as previously stated. Variety on vocals, guitar and synthesizers.
Overall damn good 36 minute black metal deception and Christ at the mercy of death because this band just rips your ears apart exposing the weak to overall deathly sounding outputs we will say instead of just songs. I would call them amazing outputs because you're not getting much else here, you're getting evilness upon the extinction over mankind. They don't want to let up either, they just blast you away most of the time and keep you within the realms of hell and demonic hatred. The band gives us it all, with no deceptions just exaggerations of utter unconventional kind of chemistry that's omitted when you have this album. Get it, it worth it's wait in hell to hear a blasphemous and relentless nemesis of utter apocalyptic end of humanity as it exasperates.
Judging from my title, you might be wondering why I've rated it so highly. Well, whether it was the mood I was in when I first listened to the album, or the multiple chances I've given it since then, it seems to have grown on me. While every song isn't a winner and the album as a whole is far from perfect, quite a few are listenable, and the tone of the album is very well done. It's kind of warm, which is a tad odd and pretty different for Norwegian black metal. It isn't too warm, though, which is a good thing, as that could make things muddy or less aggressive.
To compare for just a moment, I think Destroyer [the Gorgoroth album, not the Ezrin produced Kiss album] is very cold, in your face, and noisy. For Destroyer and most if not all black metal in general, I think it works very well. Cold environments and evil themes kind of go hand in hand with a cold sounding production. This album, however, is slightly more subdued and a touch warmer. Tonally as well as production wise, it is closer to Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam. In relation to other Gorgoroth albums, Incipit Satan is much more diverse and dynamic.
The drumming is pretty par for the course as far as black metal drumming goes, but there are parts where it definitely a stand out part of the song. For the most part, the drumming doesn't get in the way of the songs, but also doesn't piss you off because it isn't double kicking and blast beating like it should. There are nice fills here and there, and the cymbal work about half way through on the title track is very nice. I especially like the way the cymbals punctuate the song at about 2:15 in the song and it continues to be intriguing throughout the rest of the song.
The guitars are pretty nice and I catch a few things here and there that hint that Infernus and Tormentor can really play, whereas some black metal guitarists seem like they can barely execute what they are trying to get across to the listener. Another nice aspect is that the riffs aren't just constant tremolo picked riff after tremolo picked riff. Some of the riffs are kind of thrash-y, and I'm quite a fan of thrash-y punk riffs. There is also a decent amount of melody in a few of the tracks, which is not only well done, but a nice addition, as most -- though certainly not all -- black metal seems to prefer aggression over melody.
As for the bass, there is nothing to write home about, so to speak. It's almost non-existent and ...And Justice For All'd for the most part. You can hear a little thump added by the bass, but it mainly follows the root notes of the guitars and is usually lost in the chaos. This is pretty prevalent of most black metal, though. And I'm not sure if black metal as a whole or this album in general would be better served by more prominent bass or more proficient bass players.
Incipit Satan, as already mentioned, is pretty different from the rest of Gorgoroth's catalog, while still keeping very many elements of what makes them Gorgoroth. They aren't pulling a Cold Lake here. Industrial elements and sound effects are quite entertaining. Unchain my Heart has a very interesting piano intro. I can't describe it perfectly, but it's kinda gothic and I think it'd fit in perfect with a Castlevania game. Will to Power is pretty ambient, with reverse vocals here and there, sound effects, echoes and an electronic drum pattern similar to a heartbeat.
The vocals on Incipit Satan are also moderately "experimental", but nothing too annoying or distracting. I think all of Gaahl's chokes, raspy screams, gutteral howls and other vocal acrobats are well represented here. He even does a few clean parts in the form of a rather interesting and moody low tone, particularly an incantation during Litani til Satan and a similar vocal technique used on An Excerpt of X. The use of this vocal technique is quite enjoyable while fitting the mood and pacing of these songs very well. That said, it can be tedious and boring if you aren't in the right mood, as they're mid tempo affairs as opposed to the faster stuff Gorgoroth is known for. In regards to Litani til Satan, if you find this song boring, repetitious or tedious, well... that's because it's supposed to be. Litany is defined as "a tedious recital or repetitive series" which describes this song to a T. Depending on the person and the mood they are in, this can be a good thing, lulling you into a semi-dreamlike hypnotic state, or a bad thing, and boring you to the point of skipping these songs.
Some of the songs could be arranged a little better on this album, but then again, even the Mona Lisa is kind of ugly in a way, yet people accept it and even view it as a masterpiece. That's not to say that this album is a masterpiece, especially not on the level of the Mona Lisa, but it's blemishes are acceptable. I think that the title track in particular could have been arranged much better. The stop/start parts punctuated by the snare drum with the guitars in lock step with them are not very powerful and in my opinion, it is because it is overused. It also seems to be done just because they can. That said, the order of the tracks is almost perfect, those it might have been beneficial to record another song or two and/or swap A World to Win and Litani til Satan, as well as have Will to Power as an intro to the album.
Last, but not least... When Love Rages in my Heart is strange. There is some melodic playing from Infernus or Tormentor and strange singing from Gaahl, though I could be wrong, as I seem to remember reading that one of the other members of the band sang on this song. There is enough "Gorgoroth" here to make it listenable, but it's a rather interesting song nonetheless.
All in all, a great album, but you might not like it or "get it" the first time around. I suggest giving it a few listens with a few days between each listen to really determine if you like it or not. Detractors of Gorgoroth and those dissatisfied with Incipit Satan could argue that Gorgoroth had an EP worth of ideas and stretched it out to have a full length release. I think one or two more songs with the ambient track Will to Power as an album intro would've made this album almost perfect.
Stand out tracks:
Incipit Satan [yes, even despite all the criticism I gave it]
A World to Win
Fin Eim av Blod Og Helvetesild
Hearing this album straight through from the first track doesn't help give quite an open impression, so I recommend this to you: hear the last track, have a good laugh, and then go hear the rest of the album. You could call this by far Gorgoroth's most experimental work, but I feel that it mingles just fine with the later recordings thanks to Infernus' trademark style of sinister showmanship. Say what you want about Micky Faust and his fat-ass Elvis impression (I find it hilarious), but hearing that first tremolo riff (the one accompanying Faust's vocal introduction) is like taking a spear to the heart; it sounds so evil, vile, despicable, and heartless that you know this is Gorgoroth bringing Satan 'round the mountain.
All over the album I hear some of the most perilous riffs fluttering like locusts (tremolo), building up into a colossal wave (akin to later albums), and actually nailing melodic death metal without becoming contrived. Gorgoroth on this release become more of an idea rather than an entity – they don't belong in one tangible form, but shape themselves accordingly to trial and error. If they fuck up, they can go back and fix themselves within seconds – no points knocked off, no paparazzi, no strikes against them, nothing. The process becomes more fluid and less focused / attentive while still remaining something that isn't shy of our perception.
For instance, "An Excerpt Of X" is merely a catalyst towards a feeling… an invigorating mood that forms a connection between the listener and not Gorgoroth… but a collective set of ideas that we can only think about. The second that song ends, we are thrust back into a world we know, a world we live in, a world that feels less special because it doesn't always seem as serene as that song. This isn't Gorgoroth with the sick riffs and sadistic attitude like in the 90s, but in comparison this seems more like a set of tracks that would split the band apart.
There's definitely a distinguishing feature here – everything was done on purpose for a reason: the type of vocals performed, the way the guitars churn in a grindy fashion, why bass is at its jazziest, and so forth. Infernus can only give you a real answer, but I'll just say that it was done to give another face to black metal. Sure, you can probably outwit me on this one, but the point is that we're meant to react to this kind of music a certain way. Many people feel differently about certain albums, even if they like it, but Incipit Satan binds us in only one scripted form. We're meant to listen to it a certain way, interpret it a certain way, and praise it a certain way. Does it not make sense that King and Gaahl took inspiration for the two subsequent albums from this album? All they had to do was take the same aspects and strip it of any free range. Notice the two King and Gaahl albums sound most akin to this album by far, and I believe it's because both of them found a way to exploit this direction. I mentioned that this album could be looked at as one that has the potential to split the band apart – guess I wasn't too far off on that (even though there's much more to it).
Regarding the regular instruments (guitars, bass, drums), the culmination isn't too instigating. It's the arrangements and nature that keep us in check so that we don't go judging this album the wrong way. "Will To Power" on one end just sounds like a waste of time, but if that's someone's line of thinking then they wasted their time looking for the wrong resolutions. Guitars have this intriguingly distorted pitch that chew up the playing field like barbed wire – very sharp, crispy, and wicked. To me, the sound of the guitars here are more twisted than on the debut; they aren't cold, but they're done right and with more cynical consequences. I can't blame King either on his bass lines, which sound incredible as they sit opposite of Infernus; they sound chunky, fat, and inquisitive amongst Infernus' more warped playing. If anything, he brings in more of a finishing blow, since the distorted guitars have a ton of bite…but less of a bark. Guess that's what King is good at… blowing.
Gaahl's singing reminds me of Kvarforth in how he does anything but sing in a familiar way. His style hear is very unpolished and unfocused, but more expressive than on the others. You'll get to hear his nasty screams, but he also caters to other vocal forms from speaking to grunting. Infernus kind of has a vocal role, but its limited to just speaking – surprisingly, it goes well and adds this very supernatural touch to its respective song, "An Excerpt Of X." Micky Faust I found to be the shit because I rarely get to hear such cheesy vocals in black metal. The song itself is a lesser form of black 'n roll, but he doesn't seem out of place at all. Drumming I can describe all day on how supportive it is, but it plays the least important role in the music. In fact, it sounds quieter in the mix than anything else (aside from the double bass), though I think it fits better this way. If the riffs go berserk, drumming does the same; if the rhythm prods along, then the drums have some form to fall back on.
Wow, what a read; you're bound to get confused by at least one sentence up there. If anything, just check out the album and listen with open ears. Don't go in hoping for Pentagram - Part II or a contender against Under The Sign Of Hell. Nay, this is a Gorgoroth that wishes for simple respect and shows little desire to compete with the other albums
You hear that cliche 'too many chiefs, not enough Indians.' Actually, since we're talking about Gorgoroth here, a more appropriate way of saying it could be 'too many Odins and not enough beserkers'. In any variation, it's an old saying but a good one to describe some of the band's output in the last ten or so years and in particular, Incipit Satan.
This is one of those strange albums that I liked when I heard it the first time and then could have sworn I heard something else the second time but not so much in an all bad way. I think it's because Gorgoroth has always sounded so consistent prior to this album. I would describe this record as an interesting misfire. Technically, Destroyer Or..is the debut album for Gaahl in the band and since I wouldn't be alone in viewing that full-length as little more than a glorified compilation album, Incipit Satan can be better looked back upon as the one where Gaahl is better evaluated on. As stated before about the directional issues on here, it doesn't surprise me that a tribal falling out would later ensue with this band because this album sounds awkwardly experimental in some places and comfortably black metal-ish in others.
The song called Incipit Satan is not very good at least for a beginning track. It actually sounds more closer to a death metal song than black metal. Gaahl even does pure death growls in the middle of it. The riffing is slower and there are a couple different sets of power chords chugging along to predictable beats. Sersjant Erichsen was brought in for this record and he's alright but I miss the beast blasting of Frost or Grim. Erichsen is more of a death metal drummer and that's probably one of the reasons why they used him here.
After that then comes the track A World to Win which made me go "yeah, now this is more like it!" I am an avowed Deströyer 666 fan and this song sounds very much like something from them. This still isn't typical Gorgoroth but that's perfectly alright if they can play this kind of stuff too! If you ever see this band live, watch out for this track. It's an essential live cut and one of the reasons why Gorgoroth led by Infernus and Tormentor is preferred but kudos to King Ov Hell for doing a fantastic job in writing the bass lines for this song because FOR ONCE the four strings play an integral part in giving a great black metal song much power in contributing. A World to Win is the tall and confident standout track on an otherwise wandering-around-lost album and as it so happens, the song is one of the band's finest moments too.
A World to Win is motivating but you can chalk the next song into the loss column. Gaahl is a good vocalist and front man. Litani Til Satan serves as little more than a showcase for his deadpan delivery and coldness. It's a very industrial tinged song. It sounds like Gorgoroth trying to do Rammstein. The only part I like about it is the cutting slow drum beat that guides the track.
I didn't quite know what to make of Unchain My Heart but after many more listens, I think this song is pretty damn horrendous once you get down to it. It starts out with a brief old saloon style piano part that tries to be ominous but is cheesy. The first stanza once the aggression blasts out hints at more of their ordinary sound but then the song quickly goes to complete shite! It contains pinch harmonics timed in which is a big no-no in black metal even if the black metal album flirts with industrial and death metal at times. You would do well to just get forget this song ever happened. The people upstairs at Nuclear Blast probably had something to do with encouraging it but shame on whoever thought it up. The track really stinks up the joint.
It's a rollercoaster ride, this album. Unchain My Heart was the vomit inducing turn in case you had to ask. An Excert of Ex brings things back to higher ground and reason, thank Satan. This is purely an Infernus track. It's beautifully morose and depressive side trip even if it doesn't help bring a consistent tone to the record. Then comes Ein Eim Av Blod Og Helveteslid. Awesomely brutal, this is easily the most identifiable black metal style that Gorgoroth plays but it also reminded me of the songs found on King's solo outting Jotunspor. I think King originally wrote the chaotic structures for the Gleipnirs Smeder album of Jotunspor and then some more traditional Gorgoroth speeds were added along with Gaahl's frightening screams. At least that is how it sounds. The drums cleverly start out with some death rolls and Sersjant then kicks into Norwegian black metal blast beats galore.
If Unchain My Heart was the skip-it track then Will to Power is the forget-it track. It's an electronica (read writer's block) piece that's phoned in as if someone dialed up Maniac and asked if they could borrow something left out of Grand Declaration of War.
The record ends with an unusual but mostly good song(that dreadful pinch rears it's unwelcomed head again though, fuck!!). The opening Celtic Frost-y riff is salivating! The riffs keep it going well throughout the heart of the cut and it ventures into the upbeat territory. Michael Krohn of the Oslo rock band Raga Rockers does the vocals on the track. It's pure clean style singing that sounds like Leonard Cohen. This song is called When Love Rages Wild in My Heart and it's the only pure experimental track that works on the album. At least they got it right in the end-for the most part.
Incipit Satan contains one of Gorgoroth's best songs (A World to Win) and one of their worst (Unchain My Heart). There's two maybe three other good songs on here. If you put the LP on a scale though, the balance is left hanging and the needle finally rests on failure. Besides the lack of hegemony, I'm not sure what went wrong here. Perhaps the band took too much time to write and record this. Maybe there was even too much experience between them. Sometimes that can work against you in a new lineup.
Gorgoroth have never been an open minded group, they have always stuck to brutal Norwegian black metal. Even though this album has many noise and industrial elements thrown into the mix, Gorgoroth still remains "True".
The title track "Incipit Satan" is one of Gorgoroth's heaviest songs, and a great way to open an album. Like all of Gorgoroth's songs, the vocals are completely indecipherable, except the two words "Incipit Satan!" which clearly highlights Gorgoroth's message; Gorgoroth have really never been about the music.
The album's other songs are a lot of the same, same structure, same everything, though "Ein Eim av Blod og Helvetesild" was very interesting, as well as "An Excerpt of X" which features Infernus' vocals. At first I was worried that "Unchain My Heart!!!" was a cover of the Ray Charles song, but it is actually the third best track on the album, after "Ein Eim av Blod og Helvetesild" and "When Love Rages Wild In My Heart".
The last song on the album is "When Love Rages Wild In My Heart". Neither Gaahl nor Infernus sing on it. The vocals are in a conventional rock style, sung by someone credited as Mickey Faust. Though some Gorgoroth fans will reject it as being "not heavy enough", this song is actually the darkest song on the record. A great way to wrap up a black metal album.
Gorgoroth have always loved to shock, and confuse, and create fear. Ways that they have done so on "Incipit Satan" are quite obvious to me, just looking at the song names. They have long used Satan's names in their music as something of an advertisement, so they will receive more media coverage and so real Satanist people will pay to see their live shows. What's more, many of their song titles are in Norwegian, which gives quite a mysterious feel to the music.
Overall Incipit Satan's good points outweigh the bad. If only every Gorgoroth album was this good. This black metal album was one of the first of the new millennium, and is certainly one of the best.
A bold album above many, specially for a band so 'underground' appealing as Gorgoroth. This is most definetely their most experimental and alien sounding work. It's quite brave to make such an album... and it's a good album, let me tell you why.
This album contains a rather mediocre production. Someone forgot King Ov Hell, bass gets smothered in the music. But after the nice riffing, you'll forget about it. The music is clean, the vocals arent to sunk into the sound. Yeah, yeah, the last track is strange, the bass sound seems unaudible, but overall it's a good, strong work.
Incipit Satan: The title track comes in first, pounding and straight to your face. Complete with fast, consistent drum work. A few breakdowns throughout structure, with some electronic effects around the one minute mark before it starts again... The vocals are good/decent, and together with a set in the chorus sound nice.
A World To Win: My second favorite from this album. It has probably the best guitar riff on Incipit Satan, galloping throughout the song untill it reaches this solo-ish nature towards a pseudo blastbeat. The vocal work is slower [take that however you want, some say BM vocals are supposed to be incomprehensible]
Litani Til Satan: This song... it's slower and ballad-like. It resembles the name clearly 'Litany For Satan' it seems as a bit of a prayer. The vocal work is plain and spoken; It has a few growling intromissions. It's a lyric focus song, so the instruments are boring and monotonous
Unchain My Heart! ! !: My favorite song on this Incipit Satan album. It starts with a piano/electronic sound intro. Vocals kick in with a roaring scream, mid/fast paced drumming with some breakdown, the guitar continues steady, even though bass has no prominence in the album, the pedal drums are decent. It's a rather echlectic song.
An Excerpt Of X: Dont expect metal to start anytime soong... a long guitar/sample song, compared to the others [5:50, longest in Incipit Satan]. Again, resembling Litani Til Satan, with a few samples here and there.
Fin Eim au Blod Og Helvetesild: Brutal song, 'blackmetalest' in the album. Gorgoroth's Destroyer style, you could say. This song, drumming, guitar work, vocal work [and i assume that the unaudible bass too] pour down like a rain of spears. Excellent for die hard violent black metal. Accurately, the shortest, due to it's brutality.
Will To Power: You may wonder 'What the fuck is this?!' it's not a song anyway... it's several industrial noises with a few samples. A must skip, unless you expect the same throbbing sound.
When Love Rages Wild In My Heart: This song starts with some eerie sounds. It looks up like a metal song up to the 1:10 minutes... when a strange Deathrock like voice kicks in... a deep voice, [to some it sounds like Elvis, to me it's Sisters of Mercy], Here, apparently the only song where bass makes an appearence [at laaast!!]. Excellent riff around the 3 minutes. It's a good, well built experimental song. Song which makes them true owners of a bold, courageous status. At the 4th minute, a more epic air begins to blow. It's got decent drum work, good vocal work, accurate riffing.
I haven't heard "Under the Sign..." or "Destroyer", I admit, but I can't imagine that any of these releases would be better and more interesting than this one. "Incipit Satan" is full of experiments, which makes this album so unusual and interesting. Every song here brings something new, but it's not a matter of different riffs - it brings something new to Gorgoroth and even to black metal. I don't know any other release of this kind, I would love to know...
"Incipit Satan" has its own sound, based on heavy, fuzzy guitars, that play sometimes simple, but sometimes complicated riffs, melodies or just make noise. Bass is rather hard to hear, so I can't say what is it like. Drums play either extremally fast or slowly. Vocals range from great, wild growls to clean, spoken or sung quotes (I can't name it, actually) and they make a very strong point of the album.
"Incipit Satan" - variety of songs. We have more typical "Incipit Satan" or "A World to Win" here, though both of them have electronical moments in them. We can also hear here few concept songs, like maybe simple but very effective "Litani til Satan", great and different "An Excerpt of X" or "When Love Rages Wild in my Heart" - a song that is definitively not a black metal one. We can find here also an industrial\electro\whatever track - "Will to Power".
The whole album is spectacular at least for me, and though I hadn't heard it for a long time, when I returned to it I was amazed by it. Generally - "Incipit Satan" is for everybody that likes black metal that evolves and turns to something new - something fresh. I would even say that if black metal cannot go the path Emperor or Naglfar, my favourites, have gone, it should go this way.
Don't get me wrong, I love Gorgoroth, but I just wanna know one thing. Who the fuck is that singing on When Love Rages Wild in My Heart????? It sounds like an evil Elvis. And what the fuck kind of song title is that, especially for a band like this??
Anyway, this album is very experimental. There is a lot of samples and keyboards. The song Will to Power is nothing but weird noises and a little bit of techno, but not techno like you're thinking. The guitars also sound a lot like traditional metal at times, but that is not a bad thing. The riffs are excellent, especially in A World to Win. The opening song, the title track, is very much your typical Black Metal, but with some extra things added in, i.e. noises, a weird break in the middle with just synths and samples. I can't really say this is bad, because I really like this song.
Gaahl's vocals aren't piled up with effects either like on their latest, Twilight of the Idols, and he sounds really vicious on this album. Litani Til Satan is a very heavy, slower paced song, with Gaahl's vocals consisting of him doing spoken word in German. A very interesting song. Unchain My Heart has some really catchy riffs.
The drumming is at times fast as hell, and other times it is slow, but they are always catchy and technical at points. A lot of cool fills are thrown in on the songs. I especially like the drumming on the title track and A World to Win. The bass is mostly inaudible, sadly.
Overall this is a good album, and not as bad as some have said. I really like it. This may not be 100% true Black Metal, but it is a very good release from this legendary Norwegian Black Metal horde.

Local Government and Traditional Affairs MEC Mlibo Qoboshiyane ended his visit to circumcision schools in the Nyandeni local municipality area with a heavy heart, following his exposure to the poor condition of some young initiates in the bush.
The MEC's visit was sparked by the increasing number of deaths of initiates and the growing commercialisation of circumcision by some bogus traditional surgeons.
Speaking during one of the interactions with the Amampondo aseNyandeni, King Ndamase Ndamase, local traditional leaders, representatives of the Provincial House of Traditional Leaders and members of the provincial Traditional Circumcision Forum (TCF), Qoboshiyane said that government, traditional leaders and communities should work harder to curb the illegal practices linked to circumcision.
"We need to make sure that young boys, of 20 to 30-something years of age, are not allowed to practise as traditional circumcision surgeons because they lack the experience, reputation, skill and compassion needed in ushering young boys into manhood.
"I am concerned that the real and reputable ingcibi (traditional surgeon) who have done this for many years, seem to be scarce, with these upstarts of ingcibi mushrooming and masquerading as the real surgeons," Qoboshiyane said.
Qoboshiyane visited circumcision schools in Flagstaff, Lusikisiki, Ngqeleni and initiates who had been admitted to hospitals for urgent medical attention.
"I was perturbed by a report I received in the Lusikisiki and Flagstaff area, that one surgeon is charging young boys R1600 to circumcise them. He had at least 61 boys in his school. It is wrong for this man or anyone to commercialise part of our tradition. We cannot accept this because in such cases, as we have seen here, the lives of our young boys are put at risk, as the surgeons rush to make money," he said.
Qoboshiyane visited Ncanzibe, Holy Cross and Nelson Mandela Academic hospitals.
"When I spoke to these young men, they told me that they were beaten up by some young man while they were in the circumcision school. Some of the graphic details of genital mutilation of some of the initiates are too sensitive to divulge. It was clear also that many parents in the Ngqeleni area were not part of the circumcision of their children and this is wrong, because parents have a responsibility towards their children," added Qoboshiyane.
However, in the Flagstaff and Lusikisiki areas, at least 1300 young boys enrolled in the traditional circumcision school. Out of those, only one died – the cause of death unrelated to circumcision. At least 602 traditional circumcision schools in the OR Tambo district were illegal, while 74 were legal. At least 47 initiates had been admitted to district hospitals, with five deaths recorded.
The MEC said the government was committed to work with traditional leaders, all provincial departments, municipalities, schools, churches and parents.
"Though we regret the death of few initiates at this stage of the circumcision season, we are happy that the hard work of social partners in the Flagstaff and Lusikisiki area ensures that correct procedures are followed in circumcising our young boys."

Fip Buchanan
1035 Garnet Ave.
San Diego, CA
3039 Adams Ave., 2nd floor
San Diego, CA
With more than 30 years of tattooing under his belt, Fip Buchanan is one of the most experienced artists in southern California—an old-style tattooer with no boundaries whose repertoire ranges from Japanese to realistic to traditional pieces. After a fateful first experience with tattoos in 1979, he decided to dedicate his life to creating unique art pieces on skin. He cofounded Avalon Tattoo in Pacific Beach, San Diego, and then opened Avalon Tattoo II in North Park, San Diego. Buchanan is humble artisan with the demeanor of a workmanlike tattooer.
INKED: How did you start tattooing? Did you have any mentors?
FIP BUCHANAN: I started in Altoona, PA, in 1979. I was interested in tattooing already, and while working as a sales clerk at a lumberyard, I met a couple of people with fresh tattoos. At that time, there were no tattoo shops in Altoona. I asked who did the tattoos and they both told me Mike Luckett. Within a month or so I was getting tattooed at my kitchen table by none other than Mike Luckett! I asked him if he was willing to help me learn to tattoo, and he was. He ended up loaning me his equipment, and soon I was tattooing out of my house. I probably did about 50 tattoos over a three-year period, and then I moved to Pittsburgh to go to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. While there, I met a local tattooist named Red Schuster, who helped me out a lot. He had already been tattooing for about 10 years and knew way more than I did about it. He had a van equipped for tattooing and had been tattooing at local county fairs. I ended up doing that with him in the sum- mer of 1983 and 1984, along with Duke Miller. Duke helped me a good bit too. The fairs were my boot camp, and those two guys were like my drill sergeants. I became good friends with them, and we had lots of fun together. It was all a great experience for me.
Did you have other influences?
My main tattoo influence would be Ed Hardy, for sure. Other than him, Jack Rudy and Bob Roberts also had a big impact on me. When I met Red Schuster, he had photo albums of pictures he took at some of the early tattoo conventions of the late '70s and early '80s, and the work of those guys blew me away! It really made me aware of what you could do with tattooing. I met them all years later and am actually good friends with Jack Rudy and Ed Hardy, and got to work for both of them. I got tattooed by Jack in 1985, and I learned from him by observation, and also by asking questions. In 1987 I was tattooed by Bob Roberts, and paid careful attention while he was tattooing me and picked up some things that way. In 1991 I was tattooed by Ed Hardy for the first time and that was a real experience. He is so intense when he works—it's obvious he goes to another place. It's simply amazing to watch him work.
Which are your biggest influences in figurative art?
I was always a big fan of underground comics of the late '60s, and also the poster art of the period. Favorite artists of that period would be Greg Irons, Rick Griffin, S. Clay Wilson, and [Alton] Kelley and [Stanley] Mouse. I also love van Gogh, Rembrandt, and da Vinci, although I don't think they impact my tattooing much, if at all. As far as contemporary artists, I like Eric White, Owen Smith, and Glenn Barr.
What came first, the pencil or the tattoo machine?
I've been drawing since I was 2 years old, so that definitely came before tattooing! My mother never throws anything away, and I still have drawings from when I was a little kid. She's a good artist, and is still doing art at age 86. She was for sure my initial reason for starting to draw.
Do you think that drawing skills are essential to be a good tattooist?
Yes, of course it's essential to have good drawing skills to be a good tattooist, now more than ever. Clients never come in and pick a design off the wall anymore. In fact, we don't even have any flash in our shop, except in the restroom. It's important to know how to manage tattoo machines and inks as well. You have to know your medium, whether it's tattooing or painting, to be able to do anything worthwhile with it. Tattooing presents unique challenges too, because of variations in skin. It's a bit different on everyone, and even varies by body part. There's also the "talking canvas" aspect of it, which you'll never have in any other medium. I do enjoy meeting and talking to people, though, so that's very rarely a problem for me.
How would you describe your style?
I do a lot of kind of Asian work that someone recently said had a "pop art" feel to it. Another artist friend of mine said it seemed very southern California, although he's from Canada and I'm pretty sure he was just joking with me. I do realize my take on Japanese tattooing is not nearly as traditional as many other current tattooists, and to me, that's a good thing. There's a ton of great Japanese-style tattooing going on now by lots of artists, but the only problem is that it often looks the same. The artist's stamp isn't on it. My take on it may not be as authentic as others, but at least it looks like I did it, you know? Other than that, I like doing portraits in black and gray and all sorts of other tattoos. The variety keeps it interesting to me; my clients push me to try new things. I think my tattoo style is pretty traditionally based, as far as using linework, black shading, and color all in a strong way, whether I'm doing an American eagle or flowers across a woman's back.
Tell us about the guys you work with.
Mike Stobbe is a good all-around tattooist and has been with Avalon since 1990. Dave Warshaw has been with me since 1999 and specializes in hyper- detailed black-and-gray work. He loves doing weird little creatures of his own design and also does really cool ballpoint pen drawings on wood. He also plays in a popular local band called the Creepy Creeps. They play music that's a cross between surf and haunted house music, and they have a wild stage show. Denny Besnard is originally from France, has been with the Avalon team since 2005, and is an amazing Japanese-style tattooer. I've never seen a faster tattooist than Denny either! Alessio Ricci is from Florence, Italy, where he worked with the master Maurizio Fiorini. He has been with Avalon since 2007. He is a very precise tattooist who does beautiful traditional American and Japanese-style tattoos. Chris Cockrill has been with us since 2009 and does a wide range of styles—he can draw anything. He always does tons of cool watercolor paintings. We all have vastly different personalities and art styles, but somehow as a group it works. It's a delicate balance, though. We've tried a few people who just didn't work out—the balance was upset. But maybe that's just a nice way to say they were jerks anyway.
You used to be a regular guest at Ed Hardy's Tattoo city in San Francisco. How was it working alongside him?
I really enjoyed working at Tattoo City. Ed Hardy is an amazing tattooist and a really wonderful person in general. He's super intelligent, witty, and pretty damn funny too. Any time he was in the shop it had a totally different energy—very positive, and it always kept me on my toes. I hope that the younger generation realizes what an impact he had on the whole tattoo scene, beginning in the early '70s. There's a movie out now called Ed Hardy: Tattoo the World that features some of his epic work from the '70s and '80s that is still quite impressive today. His concepts and design sense are amazing.
What's the oddest request you've had from a client?
A prepared-for-cooking chicken body with a chimpanzee head on it. The guy I tattooed it on said the chimp was the first chimp in space, and he always liked the picture. The chimp had this weird grimace-smile that was priceless. And he worked at the poultry department at a grocery store at the time, hence the chicken body. Pure genius!
What do you like to do on your days off?
I enjoy hiking, going for a nice meal, playing guitar, watching movies, and of course, doing art.
Do you travel a lot? Do you like going to conventions? I like to travel and see new places. I went to China last year—that was a lot of fun. I've been to Japan, Europe, Canada, and Mexico. There are still plenty of places I'd like to see. I don't do that many conventions because I really prefer tattooing in my own shop, my own environment. I like being in my comfort zone; it's just so much easier. But I did recently tattoo at the Queen Mary Ink-N-Iron Convention on a couple of friends—I prepared all the art- work in advance—and that was fun. I do enjoy meeting new people and spending time with old friends at conventions, though. It's always interesting.
Have you seen any changes in the tattoo industry that concern you?
There's been a big improvement in the artwork overall, which is a good thing. There are so many people tattooing now that there are still way more mediocre—and just plain bad—tattooists than good ones. And there are just so many people doing it now. When I moved to San Diego in 1987, there were about six shops. Now there are about 160. That's the way it goes. What are you going to do?
What do you think of the tattoo reality shows?
I am not a big fan of all these tattoo reality shows because quite often they present an unrealistic idea of how long a tattoo will take. On the other hand, I think that helps people get more prepared for the whole tattooing experience and [see] that a tattoo artist isn't someone to be afraid of. In that respect I think it has expanded the number of people who are getting tattooed. Of course, it has also increased the number of tattoo shops because everyone thinks what a fun and lucrative career it is. Tattooing is still fun, but not nearly as lucrative as it used to be, due to the quantity of tattoo shops now. I'm thankful that I'm so well established; it really hasn't affected me much. I'm still as busy as I want to be.
What would you say to an aspiring tattooist?
I think people wanting to tattoo should seek out a proper apprenticeship and realize anything worth- while takes time. Be willing to take the time to do it properly. This occupation needs to be your passion to succeed in it. It consumes your life, so don't go into it half-heartedly. If you are only vaguely interested in it or are only into it because you think it's cool and you'll make a ton of money at it, you better figure out what your true passion is. To succeed as a tattooist, tattooing has to be your passion.

Kino-Pravda, nos. 1–8
1922. USSR. Dziga Vertov. Approx. 71 min.
Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 6:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
Kino-Pravda, nos. 1–8
1922. USSR. Directed by Dziga Vertov. The 23 issues of Kino-Pravda that Vertov made between 1922 and 1925 are among his most radical cinematic experiments. All but one issue survive (though some in fragments), and this retrospective offers a rare chance to follow the entire three-year cycle of newsreels. The reward for doing so, as Yuri Tsivian writes, is to witness "a time-lapse movie showing the growth of Soviet avant-garde cinema (born in 1922, not in 1924 as we are normally told)." In the first eight Kino-Pravdas, Vertov begins to play with then-novel film techniques, including dialectical editing (thesis-antithesis-synthesis), to transform "facts" into political statements: the complicity of the Russian Orthodox Church in the terrible famine of 1922; and the sensationalism of Russia's first Show Trial, in which the Bolshevists brought 47 Socialist-Revolutionary leaders, their bitter rivals, to court while crowds gathered in Red Square to await the inevitable verdict. Silent. Approx. 71 min.

About Martin Dzurjanik
'The photography should capture the best possible atmosphere and become a unique memory, which will not disappear even after many years.'
I started with photography and learn how to use aperture and shutter speed in childhood on my father's camera - Zenith. After a long break, I returned back to discover secrets of the photography.
I have purchased my first classic SLR - CANON EOS 300V and photography became my hobby. With the coming of digital photography I received fresh impetus and motivation, but on the other site, I have spent hundreds of hours sitting at the computer. Post processing of digital photos requires perfect mastering of photo editing programs as well as aesthetic sensibilities. I went into the world of digital photography with DSLR OLYMPUS E-330 DZK.
Currently I take photos with the mirrorless camera - Samsung NX200. I hope, you enjoy my work. If you are interested in something or you have some questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail or leave a comment on my page.I will be happy about it.

Tuesday, January 03, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After dropping a tough, 81-75 overtime loss at Jacksonville on Monday night, the Lipscomb women's basketball takes on North Florida at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon at UNF Arena in Jacksonville.
The Lady Bison (3-11, 1-2 A-Sun) are looking to rebound after Monday night's loss that saw Lipscomb turn the ball over 31 times. To do so would mean the first win for the Lady Bison at UNF Arena having come up short in five previous attempts. The Ospreys hold a 10-1 advantage in the all-time series between the two schools.
Lipscomb junior wing Hannah Phillips continues to lead the Purple and Gold with a 12.4 point per game and 5.4 rebound per contest average. The veteran is followed just behind in scoring by senior guard Anna Bowers, who is averaging 11.8 points a night after a 20-point effort against Jacksonville.
The opponent: North Florida (4-9, 1-1 A-Sun) is coming off a 54-37 loss to Belmont that snapped a four-game home winning streak for the Ospreys.
UNF senior guard Brittany Kirkland leads the way for the Ospreys offensively averaging 12.5 points per contest while junior forward Larkira Jones is a force on the glass for UNF hauling in 7.2 rebounds per contest.
Up next: The Lady Bison continue road action on Saturday with a 7 p.m. contest down the "Boulevard" against Belmont at the Curb Event Center.

Father's Day is this Sunday and some of country music's biggest stars also happen to have a soft spot for the women in their life – namely, their daughters. Tim McGraw has three daughters with wife Faith Hill. In a household full of women, he has learned a thing or two.
"I think that probably the biggest thing that I'm still always working on is having a house full of women is learning patience," he said. "I've never been a very patient person so I think either I'm getting mellower with age or they're teaching me patience. It's one or the other. I'm not sure which one it is. Probably a combination of both."
As for Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts, his two daughters, Brittany, who will be 14 in August, and Brooklyn, 10, keep him on his toes. "They surprise me every day," he said. "Brittany being 13 years old, just her knowledge of life and her common sense. She's so smart and it's like talking to an adult."
While band mate Jay DeMarcus jokes Brittany gets those traits from her mom, Gary couldn't imagine his life without them. "My daughters, they've molded me into the man that I am today," he said. "They are truly the greatest gifts that I ever could've imagined being a part of. I'm so blessed to be their father and they're just a wonderful part of my life, and the biggest part of my life."

Voters in Camillus and Marcellus are headed to the polls today to decide which candidates will be on the Republican ballot come Election Day, Nov. 7.
Primaries in both towns have been highly publicized and controversial, setting the tone for a particularly active and exciting election season.
In Camillus
In Camillus, voters face the unusual situation of primaries in two wards. Incumbent David Callahan, fifth ward councilor, is being challenged by Donald Fittipaldi, whose extensive political resume includes two terms as town supervisor.
David Cooke, sixth ward councilor, is challenged by Richard Griffo. This is Griffo's first run at public office.
Adding to the unusual season in Camillus was the Conservative's decision to endorse a range of incumbent and challengers from both Republican and Democratic parties, including primary candidates Fittipaldi and Cooke.
Five objections to the Conservative endorsements were filed with the Board of Elections, and two will be heard by the Onondaga County Supreme Court Sept. 17.
In Marcellus
Longtime Marcellus Councilor Bernie Montgomery lost the Republican endorsement, and began a fierce primary campaign. Voters will decide today whether they support the Republican's picks - incumbent Councilor Tom Lathrop and new comer Kathleen Carroll, currently a member of the planning board - or want to see Montgomery keep his seat on the board.
Voting for districts 4 and 6, normally held at Marcellus High School, will be moved to Driver Middle School auditorium.
Check back with cnylink.com tonight to see the final tally.

Read any of the reviews of Tom Ford's long-awaited women's wear show on Sunday night, and you'll start to notice a few patterns. The first is that all of them warble about how handsome he is, the second is that all of them gush about the intimate, glamorous setting. And when they get to the clothes, the universal reaction has been shock, pleasure, amazement and envy all rolled into one — even the famously hard-to-please Cathy Horyn of The New York Times seemed genuinely impressed, saying simply, "The other night he showed some great fashion."
We wish we could share in the joy.
But Ford is re-purposing the notion that fashion should be something exclusive — he rejects the spirit of immediacy in this industry that has drives photos of runway collections straight to people's laptops and phones. He didn't allow photographers other than ones he hired (Terry Richardson included), though Horyn managed to snap a few pictures with what we're guessing is her phone. He later explained his resistance to allowing people to photograph his collection openly to Horyn:
Mr. Ford said that fashion had become overexposed in recent years, in part because of Internet technology and a focus on celebrities. "I want fashion to be fun again, like it was in the '60s," he said. "You couldn't wait to get the clothes and put them on, and I think we've lost that."
In fact, Ford's control of the clothes' image goes a lot further than "no flash photography allowed." WWD's Bridget Foley found out just how far Ford is going to preserve a feeling of exclusivity and excitement about his clothes. The rules:
• No full-look photos to run alongside fashion reviews. And, by the way, he no longer gives a hoot about fashion reviews.
• No complete run-of-show anywhere on the Internet.
• No magazine coverage until January issues, to whet the consumer appetite for February deliveries.
• No celebrities wearing the clothes until December.
Luckily enough, there are intrepid people like whoever it was Fashion Copious managed to get photos from, and people like Horyn who take photos at places where they know no photos are allowed. And while they're not as slick as the official photos are sure to be, it's the best we're going to get until next year.

Hundreds participate in Relay for life in East Huntingdon
"I do this for my mother who survived cancer," said Christie Dyer of Yukon, who participated in the annual Relay for Life held Saturday at the Regional Family YMCA in East Huntingdon.
Dyer was a member of the team Angels of Hope.
"I like doing this and helping. It's important," she said.
Dyer's story was a common one among the hundreds of participants, most of whom took part in the event because either they, a family member or a friend had been lost to cancer or been affected by the illness in some way.
"I lost my mother last year to cancer," said Dana DiBasilio, a member of Panucci's Promise, a team that has participated for five years. "We have so many family members who have suffered with cancer. This is a good event, and it helps."
The intermittent rain showers did little to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowds that shared the same goal — to fight for a cancer-free world.
"No one ever wants to hear those words, 'You have cancer,'" said Rachel Davis, Relay for Life event director. "This event brings us all together with one common goal — to one day have a cancer-free world."
Thirty teams took part in the 22-hour event that began at noon Saturday and concluded at 10 a.m. Sunday.
Proceeds from the event go to the American Cancer Society for research and education.
"This was a great event," said Dawn Keefer, American Cancer Society income development manager. "The gross amount raised to date is $128,000, and that is wonderful."
Teams can continue to raise money through August, then the final totals will be tallied.
"Our gross goal is $138,000, and to have $128,000 already is great," Keefer said. "We lost a few of our stronger teams this year, but we also welcomed several new teams, and everyone has done just an amazing job."
Many of the teams at the event held different fundraisers throughout the 22 hours. Keefer said several did really well in their efforts.
"These teams are incredible," Keefer said. "Some of these teams raised $1,500 during the event."
Many teams took advantage of the theme 'Rodeo of Hope,' incorporating the theme into their camp sites as well as into their fundraising efforts.
Cameron's Angels, which is the first-place team in overall fundraising with more than $11,000, set up a jail in which selected inmates sat out a designated time until they could raise the needed funds to be released.
"This has been going great," said Marvin Coffman, who acted as sheriff. "It's been really popular."
Several sites held basket raffles, offered games, sold Chinese lanterns that were released into the sky and even offered the public a chance to kiss the "Stanley Cup," a cup passed along to a winning Relay for Life team.
"I think everyone stepped it up this year," Keefer said. "The threat of rain may have kept our numbers down a little, but overall, this was a great success."

LongArm Quilting a Bargello Quilt
// Having just completed my first quilt on a Longarm Quilting Machine I think I am sold on this method of quilting. Granted it did not have the same look of a hand quilted quilt completed by a skilled quilter. My grandmother's quilts are beautiful! However, I would like to complete more than one quilt in my lifetime and my life is too hectic to even consider being able to spend the time. Using a Longarm Quilting Machine is a great option for me to be able to complete my own quilts and ex
