    After 4 years of Silence, BARBAROSSA UMTRUNK is back with à New full lenght album

    «Devchirmé : Le tribut du Sang» takes inspiration and pays homage to Janissaries Ottomans troopers, these elite warriors from the balkans trained for war since childhood. Janissaries were connected to Bektashi Sufi Order which were the inheritors of Persian & Arabian Spiritual Chivalry called Futuwah with rites close to Free Masonry and a secret heretic gnosis belief with Shia roots (Twelve Imams Gnostic faith of the Iranians) but also old Tengriism paganism/Turkish Shamanic heritage. Bektashism was also connected with tradition of asiatics bards and trobadors called Ashoks and Alevis heretic community from Anatolia. Historically Janissaries elitist troops were the first to make Martial Orchestral’s battlefield inspired Music. This new album of Barbarossa Umtrunk deserve an hymn dedicated to them with 72 minutes of Balkanik/Turkish Ottoman Martial and ritual music based upon Janissaries elitist troopers from the past, spiritual chivalry (Futuwah), Albania, Shia Gnosis, Alevi/Qilzibah gnostic sects and Anatolian Sufism with mystical lyrics & quotes taken from writes of Alain Santacreu, Rumi, Hadji Bektash Veli, Rudolf Von Sebottendorf and many others declaimed in french language with the well known specific style of Barbarossa Umtrunk. The compositions make by Baron Vonstein with guests T S I D M Z -ThuleSehnsucht In Der MaschinenZeit- Dolorism, Gregorio Bardiniand Sven Phalanx are sometime close to old Der Blutharsch, Karjallan Sissit, T S I D M Z -ThuleSehnsucht In Der MaschinenZeit- or Rukkanor with some oriental/east european influences and vibes who deserves ritual orchestral apocalyptic climates, martial hymns, atmospheric and military pop and even Dungeon Synths , Neo-Classical or Sufis and Tribal influences from the East.

    Il regno di Agarttha imprendibile, inaccessibile, divenuto sotterraneo più di seimila anni fa, data dell’inizio del Kali Yuga o età nera, l’Età del Ferro degli antichi Occidentali, l’ultimo dei quattro periodi nei quali si divide il Manvantara; la sua ricomparsa deve coincidere con la fine di tale periodo. (x2)
    La sua ricomparsa deve coincidere con la fine di tale periodo.

    Barbarossa Umtrunk – Septimia Bathzabbai Zénobie
    Music, Composition and Vocals by Baron Von.S. Released at Bunker Alamut, Summer 2022.
    Lyrics by Hejer «Agar» K. (taken from his poem «Zénobie»).
    De son vrai nom araméen, Bathzabbai, reine Arabe à Palmyre, l’épouse d’Odenat
    S’autoproclame impératrice, elle, qui, sans peine,
    Nomme empereur de Rome son fils Wahballat.
    Cléopâtre du Levant, son pouvoir s’étend De l’Égypte à l’Anatolie, ébranlant Rome.
    Régente à l’Est, dotée de la beauté d’Orient,
    Elle est l’amazone dirigeant une armée d’hommes.
    Certes, Augusta érige en cité florissante L’oasis palmyrène, qui se voit saccagée Par l’empereur Aurélien.
    Captive, Septimia Connaît une fin obscure et controversée.
    Depuis des lustres, sa virilité virginale
    En fait des patriotes syriens l’égérie.
    Al Zabba subjugue par son aura martiale
    Et sa chasteté, inspirant de grands génies.
    Hejer K.

    Muhammed, the Beneficence of Ali, our Pir the head sultan Haji Bektash Veli,

    Barbarossa Umtrunk – L’Aigle Sacré du Caucase
    Music, Samples, Composition & Vocals : Baron Von S. Released at Bunker Alamut, Summer 2022.
    Lyrics : Hejer «K» Agar ( taken from his Poem «Aigle Sacré de la Oumma»)
    Aigle du Caucase, Shamil El Daghestani,
    Le sheikh Naqshbandi, fut un héros et un ascète Soufi.
    Il représente la chevalerie Initiatique, dans sa plus grande pureté.
    Des savants le surnomment «sixième calife»
    Tant il porta au pinacle la sainteté
    Et l’héroïsme islamique, lui, leader rétif
    À toute mollesse et mujahid sanctifié.
    Dès sa tendre enfance, pétri de science et de foi,
    Il garda les troupeaux de moutons familiaux,
    En son village. Garçon chétif, il fut la proie
    De jaloux, le battant et blessant au couteau.
    Dès lors, il se métamorphosa en guerrier Montagnard incomparable.
    Promu grand savant
    Et guide soufi, il rejoint la lutte armée,
    Après son haj, élu suprême combattant.
    Là où Napoléon, face aux Russes, échoua,
    Il devint leur plus redoutable résistant,
    Fédérant les clans caucasiens, par la Sharia.
    Cette guerre des mourids dura vingt-cinq ans.
    Shamil Effendi et ses vaillants kshatrias,
    Si érudits et spirituels, fondèrent Leur théocratie.
    Versés dans la guérilla,
    Ils humilièrent la Russie tsariste, si fière.
    Chef d’État révolutionnaire, il gouverna
    Son gazanat avec sagesse et charité.
    Mécène des sages, il créa des madrassas.
    Charmés, moult chrétiens rejoignirent son armée.
    Féru de l’amour conjugal le plus sacré,
    Il irradie le modèle muhammadien.
    Trahi par ses proches, astreint au traité de paix,
    Le tsar l’assigne à résidence, avec les siens.
    Ami de l’Emir Abdel Kader, on l’accueille
    En grande pompe, où qu’il aille.
    Faiseur de prodiges,
    Il est encensé par les Ottomans.
    Au seuil De Médine, on l’inhume à Baqi, saint cénacle.
    Hejer K.

    À Daria Platonova, notre Hypatie

    Chère Daria, que la terre te soit légère.
    Rose blanche, tu incarnais l’âme de la Grande
    Russie, lys pur ensanglanté par une bande
    De malfrats, t’ayant diffamée, avec ton père.

    Pétrie des beaux préceptes de ton géniteur,
    Éclairée par la Tradition, tu appliquais
    Ses enseignements. C’est, à présent, sous le dais
    Du Ciel que tu reposes, avant l’ultime Heure.

    Telle Hypatie, ton égérie spirituelle,
    Tu fus nimbée du noble ésotérisme antique,
    Versée dans le néo-platonisme : de Jamblique
    À Plotin, toi qui fus docte, noble autant que belle.

    Spécialiste en relations internationales,
    Journaliste hors-pair, politologue, militante
    Eurasiste et philosophe, tu prônais l’entente
    Sacrée des fidèles contre l’axe du mal.

    Mélomane et dotée de sensibilité
    Artistique, ayant baigné dans le mysticisme
    Orthodoxe, tu fus le pont entre Christianisme
    Et Islam, face au libéralisme enragé.

    La douleur et la force de ton valeureux
    Alexandre nous a bouleversés. N’aie crainte :
    Ton martyr pour le vrai et le bien sera l’enceinte
    Qui verra vaincre tous les chevaliers de Dieu.

    Verso la fine dell’Età oscura i ladri deruberanno i ladri. Gli uomini perbene si ritireranno dalla politica. Nessuno vivrà la durata normale della vita. I riti decadranno nelle mani di uomini senza virtù. Gli uomini si uccideranno l’un l’altro e uccideranno i bambini e le donne. Solo i beni conferiranno il rango. Solo movente della devozione sarà la salute fisica. Solo legame tra i sessi sarà il piacere. Sola via di successo la falsità. I meriti ottenuti in un anno nel Treta yuga potranno essere ottenuti in un mese nel Dvapara, in un giorno nel Kali yuga.

  • The Ever Sounding Sea Of Grief by Philippe Blache

    « The ever sounding sea of grief » is a cathartic and spiritually uplifting musical journey. Partly abandonning the lyrical component which was central in previous releases of his musical project «Day Before Us» Philippe Blache introduces here a slight new stylistic turn. This album makes incursions within the world of avant gardism, noise ambient and modern classical minimalism with a subtle cinematic edge. It can be appreciated as a purging ritual mainly built around harrowing reverb piano key, blackened skies of droney textures, then majestic organ patterns within a foreboding sonic spectrum. Those lengthy tracks feature additional arrangements as spoken words. As for the last «Day Before Us» album to date the striking visual imagery is provided by forward-thinking artistic collaborator and multi-talented Natalie Ina. «The ever sounding sea of grief» is a thrilling and colossal poetical/musical drama of overwhelming expressive intensity.

    Lyrics from Anna Kingsford (1848-1888)

    Reeds in the river! reeds in the river!
    O deep in my heart like the reeds in the river,
    My thoughts grow in darkness, far down out of sight,
    And over my life passes shadow and light,
    Like sunshine and cloud on the breast of the stream,
    But I sit by the banks of my river and dream,
    For day after day, they grow silent and strong, ––
    The reeds of my Syrinx, the reeds of my song!
    ____________________________

    Slowly athwart the grey empurpling heavens
    The bearded evening clouds swept slowly by
    With ghostly arms outstretched, and shadowy robes
    Curling around them; one by one they passed
    In sad procession, solemnly and still;
    A crowd of phantoms following to the tomb
    The fair departed Day.
    ______________________________

    All the sweet odours of silence, that rise
    Up from the world to the musical skies,
    And the voice of the waters that swell and sink
    Speaks through the distance, and dimly I think
    Of that fathomless ocean of Time and Fate
    Bearing us onward and on without cess
    Into the dark mysterious Never,
    Spirit to spirit, the small and the great
    Into the Sea of Forgetfulness,
    The sea that rolls and rolls for ever!
