(轉載)攝影師 眼中的末日

At world's end: Artists reveal stunning post-apocalyptic images of cities around the globe
|

從紐約到北京,一群攝影愛好者企圖尋找末日後的世界。
攝影師 Lucie 與 Simon 為了製造孤獨的感覺因此僅在照片中留下1~2人。

From New York City to Beijing, a team of artists are shedding light on what the world would be like at the end of humanity. 
In Silent World, artists Lucie and Simon have taken the world's most familiar and populous cities and removed all but one or two people to create the illusion of a lonely world.
In the thought-provoking work, places like the normally bustling Times Square and Tiananmen Square appear absent of their crowds.

Instead of multiple exposures, the team used a neutral density filter on their pictures to create scenes right out of the Will Smith film I Am Legend or zombie saga The Walking Dead.

Revolution(暫譯:革命) 2012/2013 電視影集



Revolution 為美國NBC電視台預計於2012 九月撥出的電視影集,主要故事內容將注重於末日災變15年後面臨的世界。

末日災變1後地球所有科技產品與電子用品皆失去作用,人們被迫在沒有科技協助下生活。 人類社會開始瓦解、軍閥割據。故事聚焦於握有災變發生關鍵的 Matheso 家庭上, Matheso 家庭不僅握有災變發生的重要線索,也有讓人類重返科技生活的方法。但在所有迷團解開之前必須防止重要線索若入軍閥手中。

此電視影集與陰屍路( The Walking Dead ) 所面臨的災禍不同,陰屍路面臨較科幻的殭屍攻擊,而 Revolution將注重於人類社會與科技的瓦解。

官方網站: http://www.nbc.com/revolution/

Revolution takes place in a post-apocalyptic future. Fifteen years earlier, an unknown phenomenon permanently disabled all advanced technology on the planet, ranging from computers and electronics to car engines and batteries. People were forced to adapt to a world without technology, and due to the collapse of public order, many areas are ruled by warlords and militias. The series focuses on the Matheson family, who possess an item that is the key to not only finding out what happened fifteen years ago, but also a possible way to reverse its effects. However, they must elude various enemy groups who want to possess that power for themselves.

Review Thy Light : Suici.De.pression



Photobucket


Thy Light 為來自巴西的"沮喪黑金"樂團( Depressive Black Metal ),Suici.De.pression為其首發的 DEMO。

樂曲的曲風較偏向早期的 RAW BLACK METAL 但代有點氣氛元素,但比較可惜的是整張專輯氣氛僅用 KEYBOARD 營造,顯得較為單調。
歌詞與其他沮喪黑金相同,圍繞者沮喪, 自殺, 憤怒, 痛苦, 厭世。 但較為可惜的是歌詞讀起來詩意並不是相當完美。

雖然歌詞與樂曲並不是最完美,但是整張專輯相當流暢,部分樂曲旋律也相當鮮明。 是一張值得一試好的專輯。

專輯的第三首曲目A Crawling Worm in a World of Lies ( 謊言世界裡爬行的蛆蟲 ),也許可以帶領聽眾先行體驗末日生活的感覺。

歌詞翻譯:

孤獨,我看者我走過的路...沒有意義、沒有可令我開心的回報。
痛苦擊倒了我,我看者無法忍受的灰色天空。

在慢慢腐敗的現實裡, 我只是在謊言世界裡爬行的蛆蟲。

官方MySpace

----------------------translation----------------------

Thy Light is a Depressive Black Metal band from Brazil. Suici.De.pression it's their first DEMO.

The album is close to Raw Black Metal and full of dark atmosphere. But sadly most of the dark element are create by Keyboard only.
The lyrics like other Depressive Metal is around Depression, Suicide, Hatred, Pain, sorrow. And too bad sometimes is not poetry enough.

Though the lyrics and music is not that perfect. But the whole album is very complete. It's a great Depressive Black Metal that you shouldn't miss.

The third song form the album called "A Crawling Worm in a World of Lies", the lyrics sometimes really give you a hint about how life looks like in Post-Apocalypse situation. 

Lyrics : 

Desolate, i just watch the trail in which i walked to get here...

...all in vain, no reward to make me lift up my head.

Bitter was my defeat, i see the sky covered with the grey smoke that my eyes were never able to stand.

...in the decaying reality... i am just a crawling worm in a world of lies.

Desolate, i just watch the trail in which i walked to get here...  ...all in vain, no reward to make me lift up my head.
Bitter was my defeat, i see the sky covered with the grey smoke that my eyes were never able to stand.
...in the decaying reality... i am just a crawling worm in a world of lies.

Apati - Verklighetsflykt Är Min Verklighet

Verklighetsflykt Är Min Verklighe (逃離現實就是我的現實)為瑞典的沮喪黑金樂團 Apati 所推出的第一張專輯( Eufori )內所收錄的曲目。

歌曲編排較偏向沮喪搖滾,大鼓加上旋律清楚的中速度吉他。主唱 Fredrik Torstenfelt 的黑腔也表現的相當不錯。

歌詞內容由厭世的想法轉化成以吸毒逃避現實,最後夢想永遠活於毒品中...再也不想醒來。
巧的是在這張專輯發行後的兩年,主唱 Fredrik Torstenfelt 就因吸毒過量於 2011年7月23日上午死亡。
主唱 Fredrik Torstenfelt 的故事就如同這首歌的歌名一樣" 逃離現實就是我的現實 "。

我翻譯了這首歌的歌詞,試圖揣摩主唱 Fredrik Torstenfelt 是如何比我們早體認到末日的心境。

讓我作嘔生命有所慰藉
讓永不停息的黑暗停止
讓我忘記必然的死亡
讓我飛過這慢長的生命
在廢墟的城市裡給我希望

淹沒我的夢想、思緒、目標
偷走我的靈魂
刪除我想法中的焦慮
除去我做過的錯誤

帶我去一個我感受不到折磨、焦慮的地方

我建構的世界
從來就不存在
建由不安
造於仇恨

夢的意義是什麼? 當我知道這只是一個可悲的期望

帶我離開生命的領域
讓我的眼淚乾枯
讓我的血液停止

帶我離開還想呼吸的愚蠢夢想
讓我活在人造夢想中

拜託別再讓我醒來了

Verklighetsflykt Är Min Verklighe( Escaping Reality Is My Reality ) is a single from an album Eufori made by Swedish Depressive Metal band Apati.

Verklighetsflykt Är Min Verklighe is more like an depressive rock. Heavy drum with mid speed guitar also the black vocal from Fredrik Torstenfelt is pretty nice.

The lyrics starts with the hatred of life and slowing develop to drug abuse to forget the pain.
The sad thing is the vocal Fredrik Torstenfelt died on 23-July, 2011 due to overdose. Maybe his life just like the name of this song Verklighetsflykt Är Min Verklighe( Escaping Reality Is My Reality )

I had translate this song into Chinese to let more people understand the philosophy of Fredrik Torstenfelt. Maybe he is the one who can foresee the Post Apocalypse coming.

Verklighetsflykt är min verklighet/Reality escape is my reality
(Written by C9H13N, Patient C and Obehag)

Swedish:

Ge tröst i ett äckligt liv
Få ett slut på ett ändlöst mörker
Låt mig glömma en oundviklig död
Låt mig flyga igenom långsamma dagar
Ge mig hopp i en förstörd stad
Dränk mina minnen, tankar och mål
Röva bort mig från mig själv
Ta bort alla minnen som skaver i mitt huvud
Radera alla de snedsteg och misstag jag gjort
För mig dit jag slipper detta lidande
och denna ångest
Till platsen jag skapat i mitt huvud
Som egentligen saknar existens
Byggt utav ångest, skapad av hat
Vad tjänar det till att drömma
När jag ändå vet att det bara är patetiskt önsketänkande?
Låt mig få sväva bortom livets väggar
Låt min tårar få stelna och min puls sluta slå
Ta ifrån mig min löjliga önskan av att fortsätta andas
Låt mig drömma mig bort i konstgjord sömn

Och snälla, låt mig aldrig vakna igen

English:

Give comfort in a gross life
Put an end to an endless darkness
Let me forget about an unavoidable death
Let me fly through slow days
Give me hope in a broken town
Drown my memories, thoughts and goals
Abduct me from myself
Erase all the thoughts that's chafing in my head
Delete all the wrong turns and mistakes I've made
Take me to where I avoid this suffering
And this anxiety
To the place I've created in my mind
Which actually has no existence
Built by anxiety, created by hate
What is the point of dreaming
When I know it's just pathetic wishful thinking anyways
Let me float beyond the walls of life
Let my tears stiffen and let my pulse stop beating
Take away my redicilous wish to keep on breathing
Let me dream myself away in an artificial sleep

And please, let me never wake up again
