The Cyanide Nervecelled Stigmata. ‘Psycho Martyrdom’ – The Revolution is Silent no longer.

      Things have been gearing for some time. The smell in the air.. The sounds I’ve been hearing … NO I mean really. There were voices. Nope…  Not a specter. Real People, speaking in the street, well yeah duuh they do. But the subject. That really threw off me to the air. There were people speaking about Rock. Save Metal and its sub genres, but people are suddenly speaking about a presence of ‘new musical’ genre in this country. Well don’t be surprised, cause like this land is really somewhat late catching up with rock, except for few. But now there are things moving gears changed peddle to the floor.

       I remember a time where Metal was ‘Our Silent Revolution’. It’s not the scene now mates. Just another few flicks here and there and itll be joining the main stream and taking everyone off their steps. All dedication goes to the Bands that toiled hard. Relentless-bleeding-sweating… committing everything they had to offer for the cause. Really guys… you guys can be proud of your selves.

      Somewhat after a year and some months from popular metal band ‘As I Lay Dying’ touring Sri Lankan soil along with Nervecell from Dubai, there came Colombo Open Air last 30th April. Ok you didn’t hear it wrong.. It’s not Waken Open Air... It’s COLOMBO OPEN AIR! there were respectful Sri Lankan Metal bands Fallen Grace, HOLLOW , Mass Damnation Plus The Vedic Band coming down Rudra plus Absence of Sacred from Singaporean lands. OK guys and girls I wasn’t there , I was more like in the Counter Strike 1.6 server when I should be studying for the Java exams. But hey there were lots of sources I got , and by the info goes, things were really awesome and killer.  Mmm yea saw some flicks by Natalie Soyza and Thiva Arunagirathnam who were always making magic stills around the biggest happ’s around town. Damn I somehow feel I missed something dear..

     

      Well hey... Things don’t need to be all bad don’t they? I mean for gosh sakes, there another shit this week end and my java paper is over today. I’ll cut the long words and say the show title is none other than “Psycho Martyrdom”. Yeap that’s it. Why am I so Psyched? Well another two foreign Metal bands are going to hit the Lions Turf. Hell Yeah! Just a week after one here comes another. Somebody pinch me! ! !

    

Nervecell

  Nervecell, A band that toured with along ‘As I lay Dying’ around early 2010 as I recall or very late 2009 Dec. Cant remember.. I have a good memory but frankly its short. Anyway, Nervecell is hitting back once again, they must have really enjoyed our fans last tour and well they are coming back to feel the sensation to roar along with the Lions. What is really a something of a fact is that although the band resides in Dubai beating in the Dustbowl as you’d might imagine... they have a quite a unique line up. Because like their members are from Lebanon , India , Jordan and well a drummer from Australia as I  am informed (Beat up the guys from ‘Encyclopedia Metallum’ if I am wrong). It’s a unique symbol feature of music that It has no boundaries, no care for skin color, no idea about religion.. But it’s all about moving the grey mind domain, beat along with the vein-center.  

Shunq (the Despaired…King of Darkness)... a notable track of their album gets a new video around this time. Quite a band. They have a number of notable tracks and they’ll be here along in the touring process of supporting their latest album PsychoGenocide.

           

Cyanide Serenity with Travis added to the line up

Cyanide Serenity hailing from UK will be also joining the mayhem. The Brits .. Long known in our soils for occupying for some time to warm up around the  tropical sun and well Cricket, is also Famed for Rock and Metal. Releasing their debut EP “Consume Me” in February 2011 which depicted a mix of Metal, Melodic and Death core has earned their own status in UK soils. Their much known act was supporting Iron Maiden  in Bangalore, India for almost a 30,000 strong Indian crowd. Gaining fast crowd, fame, along with adding Travis of Divine Heresy for the Vocalist department. For me a well known track is Facebreaker from him with DH. While a sog that I like of CS is none other ‘Foundations’. The band is due to re-record the album with Travis, but they’ll be giving a sample how it’ll sound like on Lion soil.. LIVE.

Stigmata - Picture by Natalie Soysa

Well... Coming to the hosts... It’s none other than Sri Lankan Metal Giants Stigmata who’ll be whipping the crowd and welcoming the two foreign bands. Stigmata after releasing their album ‘Psalms of Conscious Martyrdom’ last year is fast set in motion increasing their fan-base around the world. Resulting a Australian tour last October where the wallabies got whipped out of their feet. The band entering way back the years with distinct sounds of Thrash Metal , Death Metal now is experimenting Progressive Metal not straying far from their roots.. Adding new color and dimensions. Sri Lankan Metal heads...I know you need no particular introduction. But the non-metal heads.. people around the world. Things are a tough uphill to explain Stigmata to you. It’s very hard to explain guys and girls. Because they have their own notion of sound and things put up together, that even I can’t say they ‘sound like this’. You just have to take a go and see for your selves.

      So like me and my rag-a-tag team is all psyched up and waiting to hit the Gig “Psycho Martyrdom” which is held on 6th May 6 to 11pm on British International College Auditorium, Colombo Sri Lanka. Organizers have released a killer shirt to celebrate the event... And well... It has a something of an artwork too.  Those who’ll be there... catch ya around. Be there though.. I highly recommend it that it’ll Psyche you guys.

      The Silent Revolution is no more .. Things are going to get loud here on… No prisoners…

Cisco releases security, network convergence upgrades for storage switches

Ok this is very out of the way for me to post something like this you might say. But hey Im a tech geek too i follow a IT degree which also covers Networking ... so i better put up some contribution to the IT industry too right  ?? After all Girls love geeks. Because Geeks knows HTML (How To Make Love).

Just a bit of change in word style and the Topic today ...

Just following on CISCO news i found out that Cisco 30th March unveiled security and network convergence upgrades to its line of director-class data center switches, including a new multi-hop Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability for the Nexus 7000, 5000 and 3000 series and MDS 9500 switch family.

The data traffic unification features extend to Cisco's Unified Computing System, its Data Center Network Manager software and to NX-OS, the data center operating system that spans the company's data center portfolio of switches.

Cisco also have announced a new MDS 9000 Storage Media Encryption tool, which encrypts data whether it's being stored to disk or tape and requires no storage area network (SAN) reconfiguration.

The company said it has also completed the integration of its Data Center Network Manager software for SANs with VMware, allowing users a single view of their entire network infrastructure right down to virtual machine (VM) paths.

Cisco also announced a new Data Center Management API that allows third-party network management software to see traffic across Cisco's line of Unified Computer System (USC) blade servers and data center switches. For example, Cisco's hardware can now be viewed through Hewlett-Packard's OpenView, EMC's Ionix or IBM's Tivoli management sofwtware.

The Data Center Management (DCM) API works by using the Storage Networking Industry Association'sStorage Management Initiative Standard (SMI-S), an XML-based messaging interface for unified management of heterogeneous storage systems.

    Sorry for the lack of image... I just don't feel like it…

Accident happen when least expected, Disasters take place uncalled for. Both leaves valuable lives tortured to their very edges of lives. Most of people who meat with a terrible accident and were lucky to still get away with a limb of claim that they were lucky that their lives remains. But have you realize how much of a turmoil and torture they face after losing a limb? Or maybe it's their loved ones, whatever, they do hurt. Hurt a lot. Imagine in a mass scale when that cake gets topped with a cream of natural disaster. It makes you feel it's the Apocalypse ,or maybe walking in hell.

Out of all sudden? Why? Ah yes, you are intelligent enough to realize. Japan mon ami's. J-A-P-A-N… Japan

    What one nation faces today is totally almost the Apocalypse. Believe me, I'm a Sri Lankan (Lions Rawrrr ! ) and we faced a terrible Tsunami down in the end of 2004(correct me if I'm wrong). And things were like hell. Families ruined by loosing loved one's. Some lost not just one, but maybe the whole family. Like Child left after losing brother, mother father… or maybe a Wife left without her loved husband and child. Most of these victims were totally distorted in their psychological entity. Sri Lanka and well, the other countries that were affected back then were I think a little lucky to get away like that. Unfortunately, things aren't the same with Japan out there today.

I mean adding a cherry to that cream cake is Nuke plant mayhem.

    Damn, I'm not there, but I guess people who are there are maybe like, as I said walking in hell. You maybe wondering why I am writing ll this shit. Maybe that I'm a Cute Japanese girl fan, or the pervy Manga's and Anime's.. Sure I'm a huge fan of the Yakuza girls, the Manga, Anime, Sushi and the culture... But what it's all about is feeling towards humans. Last week ago I think, I saw some idiots(a priest actually) and some cahoots of his post claiming this as a payback from God for the attack on Perl Harbor and the killings of Marines in the war Pacific theater of WW2. I was like... Well I was not shocked at first, but more like:

" Oi !!! What the Fuck???".

Seriously this is true and and not a pathetic lie that I waste my time writing a blog. If I don't have juice on my blog I don't write…ok not type wise guy. But surely not lies.

    Where the hell that idiot gets the idea or maybe the imagination to link this with the attack on Perl harbor? And at moments like this? Surely can you call that person as a man of god? What a world we live in.

We are humans, nothing perfect, and nothing immortal in us, subject to all the miseries tha go around the world. And I know there aren't a lest enjoyment like being a sub to another human Master or Mistress. We are born sub's to mistress of nature and boy she hurts a lot when she punishes. And well l, as a human I do feel a huge pain, maybe it's not the same as them in that plight. Still, when humans are hurt, they are.

    But even in that plight we as human can stand shoulder to the others. We have the power. There are numerous stories to standing up together for a cause. And please do get together for the cause. There is huge beach party going at Libya with firecrackers and Noise. But let's forget that for a bit and let the proper people like the army handle that and we humans contribute on whatever we can do for Japan.

Man I do wish for a Band Aid tour in collecting the dollars for Japan …

Tears of a Soldier …

As slowly the wind blows across the fields..
I wonder how is she..
Where have all the young girls gone
the teasing eyes glinting like stars ?
reminds me of her face..like the moon..

Where have all the eagles flown,
Wonder why the crows fill the trees..
Mama told me to sleep under blue skies...
Cant remember when i did last.
Daddy told me to hold tight..
But I'm afraid.. I'm not supposed to be.
Cant smell the sunflowers like a bee.

In my child i used to gaze upon the horizon,
Does myopia surround me ?
I used to have lots of smiling friends,
Crack a joke and laugh with the wind..
Now they all seem to leave me,
I know I’m not supposed to cry, but how can i refrain
as each of them reach the grave before my eyes.

I look up the sky and i see a a ray of hope,
and i resolve,
"I'd fight all I've got too keep my friends alive",
And may be when someday i pass,
like them,
i can have a smile on my face,
like them,
did they think the same
as me...

as slowly the wind blows across the fields..

Voices in a cage

Tied,Bound and gagged ,
In midst the walls that Were raised,
To hear intestines inside,
Scream out for freedom.
To Wish those echoes,
would tear down the walls.
Vain would be that hope
And agony is left to embrace my world

Count the days, yet no day seams to near,
to keep hope on,to cling into salvation,
The burning desire, to fly into horizon,
that dove rests in peace, so long has it withered.

Find no freedom,so is to make this bound a pleasure ?

Birthday cakes for the Angel of Peace …

In the years of monochrome,
While our insignificant lives awaited to breath,
There came Johnnie Ol' boy-The Gandalf the Gray,
The wanderer, the story teller,
The Funny guy at Quarry Bank High School

And Johnnie clad him self in white,
Like Gandalf after the Zirakzigil.
Along with four others,
To make the beat - in name of The Beatles
To spread of love and Peace.

Where is Johnny, O' Where is he now ?
Where does he wander,i do not know,
To whom does he sing - Jealous i am,
But,Aye he might be in better days than
Poor ol' sod's like us.

I only wish there'd be more like you to come,
To spread the word of love and peace...
But i know it will never be true..
For no one will replace Johnnie Ol’ boy
Thats why we so much miss you…

 

Happy 70th Birthday John Lennnon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980)... Simple words above or here does not express how much we miss you…

-Gara-Yaka-

 

“Johnny can't you come out to play in your empty garden…” (Elton John - ‘Empty Garden’)

 

Burning heart and the smiling face…

Beyond the curtain, In front the crowd,
Dance out - beat, float on the clouds.
Joker took a bow, and looked at the crowd,
To see a smile, perhaps a glinting eye,he sought.

All in laughs, none to smile,
Joker all joked,turned as he walked aisle,
Wondered aloud :”Aren't thou have a caring for the maker ?”
“Are these all vein ploys, Of a beggar ! ! ”

Helpless thoughts gnaw the,broken heart,
Though all black,yes it feels pain apart.
Just as the glint of the neon firefly,
"Unjust thou are, cruel world"
Said Joker as many uttered,
Reverted Grim, but a smile on face,
To hide the heart that burned in pain

None saw the Show, in the Monte Carlo
Where the Joker was famed, even around parlor
As he glanced down from the building top,
Hanging the Gov'ner from the antenna top,
It hid the face when lightning struck behind,
It hid the Joker face as it fell a Tear Drop.
