Welcome to Baroque Sunbursts, a new series from Zer0/Repeater on Music, Culture, and Philosophy. For our inaugural episode Adam and Kyle are joined by Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix; Artist, philosopher, theologian, and musician most known for her seminal work with LITVRGY. Ravenna joins us to look back upon the opening salvo of her musical philosophy: 2009’s Transcendental Black Metal: A Vision of Apocalyptic Humanism. We’re going to be talking about the teeth-grinding, fist clenching experience of musical intensity, the Blast Beat and its Discontents, and how ideas spanning from Christology to Nietzsche and German Idealism have inspired her work up until today. Liturgy’s latest EP is As the Blood of God Bursts the Veins of Time, and their next album 93696 will be out in March 2023, by the time this comes out they’ll most likely still be on their US tour so go and see them! We talk about German Idealism, Operatic style, Negarestani's Neorationalism, Blast Beats vs Burst Beats, and Ravenna's takes on eschatology and dogmatics in the search for new religious epistemologies.
