A poem
As you may know, I’ve been working on some poetry lately, and by poetry, I mean some edited versions of my lyrics, as well as some new writings that have come out of my psychiatric treatment.
Today I have a poem for you, one I’ve sent to a literature magazine, I hope it gets published.
Al Alba:
By Ribay HernándezAl alba despunta el fuego maldito,
ojos que observan la aullante oscuridad,
y desgarran con su mirada la piel de la esperanza,
poseídos por el caos impávido, desafiante.
Su flauta seduce mi alma perdida,
y de su mano me conduce por las sombras.
Aire infecto llena los pulmones calcinados;
en esta eterna caída al vacío ignoto.
Cardos nacen de su lecho vacío,
y asfixian con sus espinas la garganta sollozante,
voces pretéritas invaden el aire infecto,
de su perfume pestilente a camposanto.
Entre mis manos su carne se descompone,
y de sus huesos corruptos nacen gusanos de carroña,
todos con su rostro furibundo, inconmovible,
todos susurrando sobre mi piel su despedida.
Mandíbulas desvencijadas adornan este altar,
de manos trémulas y miradas fugitivas,
de esta tierra el fruto lentamente se pudre,
y sus árboles irresolutos, estáticos perecerán.A este mausoleo mi alma pertenece,
aunque el anhelo volar anhele,
al estupor del mediodía, languidece la voluntad,
se tiñe de carne quemada y velas derretidas.Y al alba la esperanza muere,
azotada por el mangual del porvenir miserable,
y en estos ojos esclavizados nace la tristeza,
infinita, como el peso de mi yugo. -
Another photo
Shot this on 35mm, I posted this on instagram with this poem by Hölderlin:
An die Parzen
«Nur Einen Sommer gönnt, ihr Gewaltigen!
Und einen Herbst zu reifem Gesange mir,
Daß williger mein Herz, vom süßen
Spiele gesättiget, dann mir sterbe.Die Seele, der im Leben ihr göttlich Recht
Nicht ward, sie ruht auch drunten im Orkus nicht;
Doch ist mir einst das Heilige, das am
Herzen mir liegt, das Gedicht, gelungen,Willkommen dann, o Stille der Schattenwelt!
Zufrieden bin ich, wenn auch mein Saitenspiel
Mich nicht hinab geleitet; Einmal
Lebt ich, wie Götter und mehr bedarfs nicht.» -
Update on «VI»
~ Cover art for «VI»
My last album, «奴隶制度没有远去 是一个生后黑暗里», marked the beginning of a series that will have other 4 albums on it, is a personal series heavily influenced by my own esoteric journey, and the results achieved.
奴隶制度没有远去 是一个生后黑暗里 by IMPERATORHowever, recent life events have for now suspended the making of «黑度», and have instead lead me into the making of The Sixth Volume of Evil.
As you may know, the Volumes of Evil is a series of albums delving deep into my own personal suffering, and while that is a common theme through my music, the Volumes of Evil are solely focused on that very aspect, leaving outside for the most part any other topics, and having a common theme per Volume, and focusing more on a DSBM/Shoegaze aesthetic.
With that said, this Sixth Volume will revolve around a very painful loss for me, and a very recent one, while taking a stylistic approach more akin to the obscure «Nisz’or karr Naguum»
Nisz'or karr Naguum by IMPERATORI still don’t know how long this album will be, or how long is it going to take for release, but it has a deadline set for may 21, so it must be already be done before that day.
So, I wanted to take a moment to show you an uncomplete track, because what is better than uncompleted tracks to create interest?
There is still a lot of work to be done, as I’m focusing now on the bass and drums, but is coming swiftly.
Stay tuned.

Editing a book
Imperator is an old project, is eleven years old now, and a lot of lyrics have been written, some are good, some others not so much.
But all in all, there is enough lyrical content to write a book with it, and it is precisely what I’m doing, as of now I am working with an editor to translate all this lyrics into proper poetry and release them as a book.
Some have needed more work than others, but overall they make good enough poems for this, a good way to extend my legacy, I guess.
All of it will be released on spanish, though, so everything has been translated, good thing I’m familiar with the source material.
I still don’t have a date for «84 Scars» to be printed and released to the public, but I’ll let you know.

Advancement on «VI» (Reminder)
I was going to upload some samples of the recordings I have for the sixth volume of evil, but I was too drunk to do so.
Antidepressants and antipsycotics get too funny with tequila.
This is a reminder to upload them later. Stay tuned.

A photo
Been shooting on 35mm lately, here’s a photo I liked:
When I first posted this pic on Instagram, I saw fit to add a poem, «La inquietud del rosal» by Alfonsina Storni, it goes as it follows:
«El rosal en su inquieto modo de florecer
va quemando la savia que alimenta su ser.
¡Fijaos en las rosas que caen del rosal:
Tantas son que la planta morirá de este mal!
El rosal no es adulto y su vida impaciente
se consume al dar flores precipitadamente.« -
Finally got the site up
Finally set this thing up, mainly for artistic purposes, this way I can keep some record of the stuff I do, as well as posting some art unrelated to Imperator
