Return to the St Claire Family House - A filming location for the Granada Sherlock Holmes 'Lasy Vampyre'

Some of you may have come across my write-up of my visit to Baddesley Clinton, the house which stood in for the fictional location of ‘Hurlstone’ in the Musgrave Ritual episode Granada’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series. I had a lot of fun seeing how the property had changed (or not changed!) since the 80s, and how the writers and film crew had used and adapted the house.

Since I’ll take any excuse to learn about and visit more old and interesting buildings, I thought I’d see if there were other filming locations from the series in my local area which could get the same treatment.

The obvious candidate was Guy’s Cliffe House, which stands in for the home of the St Claire family in ‘The Last Vampire’.

[IMG: Title card reading The Last Vampyre in front of the image of a burning house]

There are a few reasons why this was an infinitely more difficult task than my Musgrave Ritual , though:

Baddesley Clinton is a National Trust property: you pay your £15, pick up a guide book and off you go. Guy’s Cliffe House is a slightly dangerous derelict ruin which is privately owned, and used by the Freemasons as a masonic temple. There are occasional tours, but getting on one required finding the correct Facebook page, hoping the stars aligned and making votive sacrificed to the Old Gods. Well, sort of.

I really like The Musgrave Ritual. I can watch Jeremy Brett grumpily swaddled in blankets and Edward Hardwicke making concerned puppy-dog eyes at him all day, so running the episode through a few times to take screenshots was a delight. The Last Vampyre, however, is probably my least favourite episodes of the entire series. Writer Jeremy Paul had to pull the script together in three weeks at the behest of executives, it’s overly long because they said it had to be feature length, and it’s so obvious that Jeremy Brett is unwell throughout the whole thing.

Baddesley Clinton is the showstopping centrepiece of The Musgrave Ritual, around which a fun treasure hunt is set. You can tell that the creators actually incorporated multiple elements of the building into the story. Guy’s Cliffe doesn’t actually appear much in The Last Vampyre. The main scene where it does is honestly just very bizarre, it's a solid minute of Holmes looking at... himself? And squinting from the glare of the sun reflecting on glass? And messing around with a compass?

It doesn't make any more sense in-context, I promise.

The relationship between Guys Cliffe House and The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes is… ummm… awkward. In We’ll get to that in a minute.

A History of the House

Guy’s Cliffe has folkloric ties to the legends of Sir Guy of Warwick, a legendary character once as well known as King Arthur, and there have been a number of different buildings there in the site’s history including a 15th century chapel and a Tudor timber framed house. The house which features in The Last Vampire was built in 1751 by politician Samuel Greatheed using money he generated from his ownership of plantation worked by enslaved people on Saint Kitts’ Island. So, perhaps we shouldn’t be TOO upset that it’s now a ruined husk.

[IMG: A painting of the fully intact house in the 1880s. It is surrounded by greenery and reflected in the nearby river. ]

The house and its estate were passed down to his descendants and was used as a hospital in WW1 and a school for evacuated children in WW2. When the money finally ran out in the 1940s, parts of the estate were sold off to different people and the house was passed from person to person without being used or maintained properly until the roof fell in sometime in the 60s.

[IMG The house today as a ruin. It has no roof and all of the windows have no glass in.]

Now, here’s the awkward bit regarding Granada Holmes. The filming that took place there kiiiiiind of… irrepairably damaged the house? Seeking funds for repair and upkeep, the owners allowed Granada to film there. The crew wanted to stage pyrotechnics in a partially ruined building so that they could make it look like it was being consumed by flames. The problem was that they didn’t realise that there were wooden beams hidden within some of the walls. When these caught light it caused the fire to spread through the site in an unintended way. In other words, the pretend fire became a real one.

To make things even worse, the pumps of the fire engines already on the site failed, and so local fire crews ended up being called in as a last desperate attempt to save the not-already-ruined parts of the house.

If you're wondering where Jeremy Brett himself was during all this chaos, the answer somehow endeared him to me even MORE, which I didn't think was possible:

"I was at home in the hotel. I'm not wild about fire at the best of times and I was worried because a nest of sparrowhawks - three babies - were in the ruins." - Jeremy Brett

It's interesting to compare photographs of the house before the fire, immediately after it, and following several years of expensive repairs.

[IMG Black and white photo of the house in the 1950s, fully intact]

[IMG The house just prior to filming. The roof has fallen in and parts of windows are missing]

[IMG The house immediately after the fire. The entire front of both side bay windows have gone, and much of the upper floor and roof]

[IMG The house today, following the repairs which were funded by Granada's insurance!]

You can see that the repairs were mostly designed to make the building stable, not put it back to looking as it did before the fire, and so some of the fine details and elegance have been lost. It's a real shame.

Exploring the House

All this may clue you into the fact that matching the show shot-for-shot is almost impossible now: some of the building was actively destroyed during filming, and most of the rest of it is dangerous to enter.

I could spot a few familiar things though. For example this shot...

Was filmed here!

And these steps...

Are THESE steps!

But honestly, that's about it for the Sherlock Holmes connection. The rest of the site is utterly fascinating though, and it was actually really exciting to visit somewhere that isn't completely streamlined and visitor friendly. I promised not to post any of the masonic temple stuff online, but I think it's ok for me to share images of this old coach house hewn into a bare rockface which is now full of assorted tables and chairs...

... and this casket. Could it be that the house be home to vampires after all?!!

I'll leave you with this little video of me nosing around before the tour began to see what was down a mysterious underground passage.

The Construction of Rosslyn chapel began on 20th September 1456.

Properly known as the Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew in the village of Roslin, Midlothian, this is just a couple of miles from where I grew up.

The building of the chapel is sometimes incorrectly given as ten years before, but that date comes from the chapel’s receiving its founding charter from Rome.

We are very lucky that Rosslyn Chapel remains intact, as we see it today, you only have to look around Scotland at the ruins of our Abbeys destroyed during the Reformation, Rosslyn was closed from around 1560,The chapel’s altars were destroyed in 1592 but the main structure is thought to have survived and any real damage was avoided.

The chapel was built by The Sinclair family and has been linked with the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, that’s the Knights Templar to you and I, the order was disbanded around 150 years before construction but symbols, such as the “Two riders on a single horse” that appear on the Seal of the Knights Templar, can be found on the building.

Rosslyn Chapel was constructed almost entirely in stone, with no structural timber except within the much later Victorian baptistery added to the west end of the chapel. The chapel is thought to be only part of what was intended to be a much larger church, and it exhibits immense historic, architectural and cultural value. The extent of carved stonework both internally and externally makes this little chapel truly unique. Though incomplete, it took around 40 years to build, and has the largest number of Green Man carvings of any medieval chapel in Europe.

The carvings of the chapel have been the subject of much speculation and conjecture, as Christian symbolism and other references are interspersed throughout the building. In 1630, Sir William Sinclair of Rosslyn was granted the charters from the Masons of Scotland, which confirms that the St Clairs were traditional Grand Masters of the Masons of Scotland. Accordingly, Rosslyn Chapel is of considerable interest to Masonic groups. Other carvings at Rosslyn Chapel are of religious, natural, or decorative nature, such as the Apprentice Pillar and the Seven Acts of Mercy panel.

Following the Reformation, services stopped being held in 1592 and did not begin again until the Chapel was re-dedicated in Victorian times.

Oliver Cromwell had his men stable their horses in the chapel in 1650 when he and General George Monck conquered nearby Roslin Castle.

Queen Victoria visited the site during her reign and was instrumental in restoring the Chapel to it’s original state for worship according to Protestant rites of the Scottish Episcopal Church and was re-dedicated as a place of worship on 22nd April 1862

I remember my mum talking about the Apprentice Pillar and how there was speculation that The Holy Grail is possibly encased within it, she talked about this in the 1970′s, about 30 years before the Chapel became more famous due to Dan Brown’s novel and film The Da Vinci Code.

I got the majority of the pics from the Alamy website, they date from the mid 19the century, some are from around 1852 while the one with the two figures walking through the church is from a book printed in 1859. Note most of these are before Queen Victoria's visit, so it shows the building was still in a good state of repair then. The top pic is from John Slezer's 'Theatrum Scotiae' is an important record of Scottish towns, castles and palaces in the 17th century. For most of these places, it contains some of the earliest views that survive. The first edition was 1693 so I think I am safe in saying it is the oldest depiction of Rosslyn Chapel.

Theatrum Scotiae also included written information on the drawings featured, the noted Scottish physician and antiquarian Robert Sibbald wrote;

Rosslyn Chapel

To the Right Honourable GEORGE Earl of Caithness, Lord Biridall, &c.

Roslin Chapel

This Chapel lies in Mid-Lothian, Four Miles from Edinburgh, and is one of the most curious Pieces of Workman-ship in Europe. The Foundation of this rare Building was laid Anno 1440 by William St Clair, Prince of Orkney, Duke of Holdenburgh, &c. A Man as considerable for the publick Works which he erected, as for the Lands which he possess'd, and the Honours which were conferred upon him by several of the greatest Princes of Europe. It is remarkable that in all this Work there are not two Cuts of one fort. The most curious Part of the Building is the Vault of the Quire, and that which is called the Prince's Pillar so much talk'd of. This Chapel was possess'd by a Provost, and Seven Cannons Regular, who were endued with several considerable Revenues through the Liberality of the Lairds of Roslin.

Here lies buried George Earl of Caithness, who lived about the Beginning of the Reformation, Alexander Earl of Sutherland, great Grand-Child to King Robert de Bruce, Three Earls of Orkney, and Nine Barons of Roslin.

The last lay in a Vault, so dry that their Bodies have been found intire after Fourscore Years, and as fresh as when they were first buried. There goes a Tradition, That before the Death of any of the Family of Roslin, this Chapel appears all in Fire.

What else can be said about Manbo Klemezin besides being a broom-wielding lwa represented by St. Claire found in northern Haitian regions? And is Manbo Filomiz a representation of Lasirenn or a lwa of her own right?

Hi,

Metrès Klemezin Klemey is a lwa who originates in the north of Haiti, but the north has had it's own WIDE diaspora within the country. Klemezin comes with her broom because she is concerned very much with cleanliness, purity, and the out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new stance. Folks often reduce her along with other metrès yo from the north like Filomiz, Severinn, Lovana, and sometimes lwa like Marie Bossou or Madan Letan as small spirits who do not occupy important places in wider practice, and that's a mistake.

In many areas of Haiti, Klemezin is the spirit who makes the kolye for initiates; which is a piece of ritual gear that tells the story of the initiate's spirits and provides important protection. It takes different forms across Haiti, but in most places it is worn in various patterns that denote initiatory status across the the chest and belly of the initiate. Without the kolye, initiation cannot move forward and is not complete. It was Klemezin who created the first kolye and who is responsible for the ceremony of creating them. It is not a ceremony like a fet or anything, but each sosyete has their own regleman for their construction and wear. Her attributes (including her veve in many area) get assigned to Lasirenn a lot, but that is a Mistake.

Filomiz is similarly a lwa who comes from the north. I've seen folks talking about how the Filomiz served in the north is different than the Filomiz served elsewhere, but that's a misunderstanding of the spirit and spiritual diaspora within Haiti. I'm not sure why she would get equated with Lasirenn, unless it's an interpretation that is saying that all female lwa who come from the water (which is a lot of them....almost all the ones I named above are considered lwa dlo in some way or another, and there are many more). In the north, she is one of the female lwa who some say takes the form of a fish in some places, and there is a lakou that has a large basin where folks say she lives as a fish.

Instead of being equated with Lasirenn, I see Filomiz often described as the Ezili Freda of the north or more important than Freda in the north, which is not really a thing. Filomiz and Severinn are very similar to Metrès Freda in presentation, but neither are they more important or less important than the other. Filomiz often arrives as the untouchable woman; she can come across as a bit cold because she doesn't always want to be touched or embraced if she feels the situation is not elevated enough for her. She is often powdered h-e-a-v-i-l-y when she arrives, and receives attention like a queen with folks more often approaching her than her approaching them.

The misunderstanding of importance of Metrès Freda versus Metrès Filomiz or Metrès Severinn or as there being multiple spirits named Filomiz often relates back to a misunderstanding of Vodou in the north. It is strongly lakou-based in that the lakou does not share the same regleman as the lakou down the road, which is a divergence from the asogwe line of Vodou, which is what most people outside of Haiti are familiar with.

With asogwe temples, of which there are thousands, you can go from one to another and see recognizable regleman in each. Things may vary a bit here and there, but the principles are the same. When you venture to the north, asogwe does exist there but lakou-based Vodou is much more common. A lakou may only serve a very small handful of spirits, like five or less. They may be spirits very linked to a particular place, like Filomiz in her basin or a family spirit that lives in a particular tree or Souvenans or Soukri, or they may be spirits that have chosen to attach themselves to a particular family and that family/lakou may have a very visible presence of serving that spirit only and holding that spirit above everything else.

None of those things mean those spirits don't walk elsewhere and don't present themselves in different ways, it just means in that very visible lakou, that spirit is held in a different way. That's something we learn with discernment and instruction, so it takes time.

I hope this answers your question!

@domaystic: #11, that neighbor Fandom: Daredevil, Matt Murdock / Claire Temple and the neighbor

The neighbor two doors down?

Matt knew she was an old lady living with a lively canary as a pet. He knew Claire chit-chatted with her: one, because she was her source for gossip; second, because Claire'd always wear the smell of St. Agnes old wood closets afterwards. As he walked down the stairs, Matt knew they’d cross paths for the first time.

He didn’t know why or how he lost balance, but the lady quickly took hold of him with her thin hands, just until Claire arrived. "Claire's here," she reassured Matt, patting him lightly. "She's got you now."

#slowly I'm getting there #domaystic2022 #day11 #Daredevil #clairedevil #100 words #sfw #Matt Murdock #claire temple #I wanted to use those words yes YES I DID #and they make me emotional as well #it actually two points that move me TT_TT

New Fiction 2023

I struggled with the idea that I need to keep up with everything new, when it's evident that I don't want to. Movies are easy thanks to subscription services like A-List (and a pathological need to get out of the house), but I was consistently happy to dwell in the past for reading and video games.

So I think I'll be more chill about fiction this year. Just follow what feels right.

Sunday Reading Wrap-Up

What are you currently reading? M.T. Clanchy - From Memory to Written Record: England 1066-1307 47% read. I've said this before - this book was written to be written, not to be read. It's utterly fascinating but it's a serious slog DK Publishing - SuperSimple Chemistry 18% read. I picked this up on the Libby app, I didn't realise it was a bite-size revision guide LOL but I've been on a science kick lately and it looked interesting. It is. Imogen Edwards-Jones - The Witches of St. Petersburg 65% read. I'm feeling a little meh on this one. It has some good bits but mostly interspersed with blah. I don't really care about the characters but I'm kinda curious where it goes. Mostly reading to fill the Russia prompt on a Round The World reading challenge. Claire Heywood - The Shadow Of Perseus 49% read. Picked it up from the library, and I am loving this, y'all. It's being told from the women in his life, so far I've read Danae and Medusa, and moving to Andromeda. So much love! Stel Pavlou - Decipher 40% read, still absolutely batshit and I fucking love it! grins a bit like Matthew Reilly's Temple, it has all the best bits of crazy sci-fi & pseudoscience & pseudohistory, with just enough of the actual stuff… kind of Ancient Aliens. LOL Matthew Reilly - Ice Station 35% read, not loving it quite as much as Temple but it's still a thoroughly enjoyable read. Maybe a little similar plotline-wise in places to Decipher but a very different approach.

I think my goal for the weekend is to finish either Witches Of St Petersburg or The Shadow of Perseus

What did you recently finish reading? Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone - The Warlock of Firetop Mountain 4/5 Li and I discovered we both loved Choose Your Own Adventure & Fighting Fantasy books when we were kids, so naturally we checked this out of the library and had a super nerdy date night. It took us 4 attempts to get through - Li drawing the map of our adventure while I read the book out. Raynor Winn - The Salt Path 4/5 This had been on my TBR for ages, I saw one of her other books in the library so checked to see if they had this one, which they did and it was bloody brilliant, I could barely put it down. Janna Levin - Black Hole Survival Guide 3/5. Like I said, I've been on a science kick recently, this was actually one of Li's library books but I ended up reading it as well. I understood about 60% of the actual science, but could follow what Levin was saying about 90% of the time. Throughly enjoyed my trip into a black hole grins Kris Hallenga - Glittering a Turd 4.5. I picked this one up on Libby purely based on the title, didn't look to see what it was about. And I'm glad I didn't, because I probably wouldn't have read this, if I'd known it was a memoir of someone living with stage 4 cancer. But it's amazing and highly recommended! Angela Kelly - The Other Side Of The Coin 4/5. Another random Libby read (I love the app for that LOL) but I couldn't resist it. A memoir of the Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Personal Advisor, Curator, Wardrobe and In-house Designer, filled with so many lovely anecdotes and fascinating details about what goes into dressing The Queen. And lovely never-seen-before candid photos. I thoroughly enjoyed it - and Li knows I did because of how much I read out loud to her LOL

What do you think you’ll read next? Meik Wiking - The Little Book of Lykke Katja Pantzar - The Finnish Way: Finding Courage, Wellness, and Happiness Through the Power of Sisu Both books I picked up from the library based on how much I loved the Hygge books. I don't know if I'll enjoy them, but I'm curious and they're due back next week so definitely moving to the top of the pile LOL

WELCOME TO LUNAR COVE, JASMINE ST. CLAIRE

Jas St. Claire, born by the name of Jasmine Chamberlain, held little memories of her mother, but there were two that seemed to be seared into the back of her mind, like a flicker of a flame that couldn’t be put out no matter how hard she tried. The first was of her mother’s soft finger tips, not rough to the world around her or littered with calluses like Jasmine’s would eventually be, brushing back that of the young girl’s curls. The sweet coos of her mother’s voice rang in her ear as the woman kissed the plumb tinted bruises beginning to emerge along her skin marking one many repercussions from the rigorous black magic lessons.

Don’t worry, Darling. It’s going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. Only, fate would tell a different story.

Jasmine’s father, Silas Chamberlain, with his deep blue eyes, fair complexion and sandy hair, was a man who once belonged to another - her mother’s best friend at that- and didn’t seem to care about much of anything outside of himself and his growing desire for power. He was obsessed with being remembered. He wanted to be not only a great witch, but the best their ever was and, to do that, he was convinced that he would have to surpass that of the Reapers- the original dark coven that created vampires long ago. Maybe a part of him truly did love her mother, Violet St. Claire. Maybe as the pair of witches began to spend more and more time together, the boundaries that once had been so clearly defined began to blur and the next they knew they were consorting behind closed doors. Or maybe he had seen an opportunity to take advantage of Violet and managed to seduce her into joining the ranks of the Dark Coven he had been recruiting behind his own wife and children’s backs. Either way, the story remains the same.

Silas might have started out attempting to keep the dark coven he was forming a secret, but as time went on and the more powerful these Reaper Wannabes began to be, the less careful he became and the less and less he seemed to care about abiding by the accords or bothering to hide what he was up to. He was becoming a liability- not only putting a target on his back in the eyes of the hunters but also becoming a threat to the Council as his actions could potentially expose the species identities to the world. In fear of what might become of her children, Silas’ wife finally left him, packing up her children and fleeing to the Cove. While Violet remained. The pair married and she practically placed Jasmine within Silas’ grasp for him to mold little Jas into the dark magic prodigal daughter he so desired. And oh, did she learn.

It started with pain infliction. She’d hurt herself in minor ways to leave victims of her father writhing on the ground having suffered excruciating pain and agonizing migraines. Her mother would help her bandage up her cuts and bruises, give her a light kiss on her temple and send her back on her way only for Silas to tear away another object from her possession to sacrifice in some sort of spell. Life went on like this for quite some time until she eventually grew to stop caring about personal objects or possessions all together which brings us to memory number two...

Her father had just been arrested for his crimes. Something the dark coven had been expecting seeing that Silas had chosen to turn himself in. He was a killer whom had not only broken the law, but the accords. The Council wanted his head for having exposed what he was to a small handful of humans and, if they didn’t take his head, the hunters soon would. He needed to buy himself time and so he escaped his death sentence from the Council by getting himself locked up behind human bars instead. Safe behind his cell, he would be able to continue to lead his Dark Coven and operate within the other criminal organizations he was tied to. But, low and beyond, without her father’s looming presence, her mother finally began to see reason.

Jasmine remembered the way her mother frantically packed up their things, tossing shirts and shoes haphazardly into a bag as she searched for the family grimoire. She remembered the frightened and yet fierce look in her mother eyes as she told her ‘we can’t stay here’. She remembered her mother taking her to a nearby motel and hastily moving towards the phone to call a friend who would help them.

He’ll help us. He’ll get us to Providence and from there we’ll travel to the Cove and we’ll be okay. Everything will be okay.

And she remembered the way her mother’s body suddenly clammed up as she began to choke on her own oxygen.

The little witch once believed she had known the costs that came with dark magic. Jasmine knew the pain that seared through her veins as she cut herself to perform a spell. She knew the loss that came with watching a stuffed animal she adored or the polaroid or locket she kept close to her chest set aflame. But, nothing, no consequence could even come close to this. Jasmine had only ever performed necromancy twice for her father. She hadn’t thought much of it at the time. But, now at the age of sixteen, she stood there, horrified as Death had come to claim that of her mother as payment for one of the lives she had raised back in the day. The rest of that day was a blur. Her vision misty from the tears that kept on falling. But she did remember how she picked up the phone and called her father. She may have resented him, she may have even hated him and it may have been stupid for her to alert him of where she was and that an old friend of her mother’s was on their way to get her at that very moment. But, she still just a kid. One who was petrified; consumed by pain and the fear of what would happen if she was found there clutching over what was left of the woman who raised her. Only she’d never know, because by the time the family friend of her mothers pulled up to the motel to find her, her mother’s body was long gone curtesy of her father’s lengthy advice.

After that day, Jasmine’s life began to change for the better. Her mother’s friend took her in and adopted her as one of his own. She was enrolled in a high school in New York and, although she was met with judgmental stares and hushed whispers given that her biological father was still a notorious criminal locked away in jail, her life became some semblance of normal. She got good grades, went off to college, became a journalist and, all and all, kept her head down, terrified of what might happen again if she was to get too close to someone again. After all, Death still had one more life to collect from her. And yet, despite her better judgement urging her to stay as far away from Lunar Cove and her half siblings residing there, she found her curiosity getting the best of her as she once again found herself wondering what her life might have been like had her mother still be alive and if the pair had been able to escape off to the fantastical safe haven on that dreaded night.

SUMMONED AND DEFILED

Il faisait encore jour quand je partais de Castres, ville rugueuse d’ovalie, porteuse d’une victoire contre le RC Toulonnais en ce jour du 22 avril 2023. Dans les rues des supporters rentraient à pied, drapeau sur l’épaule, se chambrant gaiement. Des cumulus nimbus offraient un parterre de teinte grisâtre et laiteuse avec des trouées minimale de lumière, comme si des jets venaient à percer dans une obscurité naissante. Bientôt la pluie le long du trajet tomberait, et fera abattre le ciel sur terre dans une nappe de brouillard épaisse, et de crachin que cette nuit en enfer allait offrir à coups de décibel tellurique, de cris perçant et d’hémoglobine sonique. La nappe phréatique de mes émotions remonterait jusqu’à ma paroi nasale en laissant couler un filet de sang, pour une raison que j’ignore encore, mais qui demeure un présage de la déflagration reçue.

L’association Profusion existe depuis 1995, elle a mis en place des concerts dans le Tarn et la région toulousaine. Depuis St Sulpice, la première édition d'Une Nuit En Enfer a été effectué en 2003 où elle avait posé les bases d’une intention fidèle à l’underground oldschool. Pour ses 20 ans c’est « Be there or be dead », PAF 15 Euros. Pas de CB, rien que de la fraîche, à l’ancienne (vise le flyer). Lieu = Salle René Cassin / 81370 Saint Sulpice La pointe.

Les groupes ayant joué dans une nuit en enfer sont Fall Of Seraphs, Iron Flesh, Ritualization, Mercyless, Asmodée, Agressor, Necrowretch, Charnier, Fatal Nunchaku, Graveyard, Hate Wanted, Hypnosis, Hypoptalasias, Inhumate, Les Incapables, Malhkebre, Necrocult, Oldskull, Offending, Ossuaire, Otargos, Ouroboros, Pestiferum, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Putrefaction, Ruins Division, The Bottle Doom Lazy Band, The Seven Gates, Temple Of Baal, Trashnasty, Vorkreist, Withdrawn.

C’est OLDSKULL qui éventre la nuit comme l’on ouvre une parenthèse pour marquer les esprits. Son death metal touille Obituary (mais sans le groove) et Morbid Angel avec une lichette de Bolt Thrower, et parfois des grumeaux thrashy dans les riffs et rythmiques.

Le chanteur avait un t-shirt de Power Trip, et son growl de bons caillots de sang dans la glotte pour projeter son impureté deathalique. Le batteur du groupe avait le son de la caisse claire d'une bouteille que l'on décapsule, car pas de peau sablé. Je dis ceci car un gonze me l’a fait remarquer alors que jusque-là je n’y avais pas prêté cas. L'ingé son a assuré, je ne veux pas dire de connerie, mais il me semble qu’il travaillait à l’ancienne salle du Bikini, au 54 chemin des Étroits à Tolosa, car la façade démontrait un son de gouffre à death metOl. Scéniquement la scène n’est pas immense, les gars font leur set dans un condensé salé de leur sauce dégoulinante, ça envoie une bonne rasade oldschool, avec pour les light, un spot bleu, un rouge, un jaune, un peu de fumée et va chier à la vigne.

Dans une nuit en enfer il n'y a pas de poseurs, pas de kikouyou à licorne, de touristes, de personnes qui vivent dans un trou de hobbit, nannn. L'atmosphère est oldschool, il y a en présence une majorité de gars qui turbinent avec sincérité depuis l'époque des échanges de K7. L’underground c’est une niche, un endroit en marge, reclus, parfois trop, enfin tout dépend comment tu vois le truc. C’est un isolement, et pas du tout à la fois. Beaucoup y trouvent leur compte, du moins un temps, après les époques meurent et les nouvelles prennent leur place, il y a des personnes qui restent fidèles malgré tout. Oui ça existe.

L’underground fonctionne sur le principe du participatif, et généralement en autarcie. Ces passionné.es peuvent passer du statut d’inconnu à culte, mais c’est très rare, et pas du tout l’effet escompté. Le premier c’est d’être libre de créer, de faire émerger un art, une discipline, l’esprit d’une musique, l’incantation du concert, un lieu de vie, une époque. Tu évolues dans un environnement scellé de rite, signe, expression, symbole, représentation, empreinte, d’érudition, d’échange, de transmission, de passion, tu es dans l’ombre, te transformes dans la pénombre, le mystère et l’obscurité sont tes frères. Si tu viens avec une apparence, tu vires vers le soleil très rapidement car le simulacre ne fait pas partie de ta loyauté, de ton honnêteté aux autres et à toi-même. Mais l’underground va t'oublier un jour, comme si tu n'avais jamais existé, tu ne fais que passer, météore.

« Le rock est mort, le punk est mort, le metal est mort » tu entends ça depuis toujours, tout est mort quand tu vieillis, parce que le pain blanc de ta jeunesse est bouffé, et qu’il te reste le pain noir, et peut-être même un sac de clou noir avec des croûtons et des os à ronger. Bullshit, tu le sais, dans ta foi pour ces musiques en marge, tu es, tu vis, tu te sens bien au milieu de ces gens, que tu considères comme ton peuple.

Le rock est mort parce qu’il passe de mode pour certain.nes. La mode elle peut aller se faire enculer, et ce, depuis toujours. C’est ta philosophie.

Dans la salle ce soir, il y a un gars qui a organisé et fait jouer la première date en France et en Europe de Cannibal Corpse. C’était en 1991 à Escoussens, au pied de la montagne noire parce que la salle d'Aussillon n'était pas libre. Le christ de Mazamet, le seul et unique, nom Carlos, comme le chanteur, mais lui n’a pas de chemise à fleur, il préfère les champs de tripes du death metAl. Casquette vissée sur la tête, des cheveux longs, le ventre à bière de Tankard et toujours dans le game, le week-end suivant celui d’une nuit en enfer, il ira au Portugal pour un petit festival, il a son ticket pour aller voir les Mets au stade de France, mais ce qu’il lui tarde le plus, ça fait trois ans qu’il a son billet pour le Maryland Deathfest du 23 au 26 mai à Baltimore.

Le quatuor MISGIVINGS se poste sur scène. Formé en 1991 avec un seul opus à leur actif, je ne sais pas ce qu'ils ont foutu, nous sommes en 2023 ?!

Le bassiste chanteur a un truc dans le visage, la forme de son visage peut-être, mais il me semble que ce sont ses yeux qui me font penser à Tom Araya, d'ailleurs leur musique c'est Slayer mets Deicide. La basse a un son très metallique, le riffing des 2 gratteux c’étaient des frelons asiats aux dards véloces et pestilentiels. Le bassiste a rameuté le pit pas mal de fois, une sollicitation qui a trouvée l'envol de belles chevelures, et a certainement brisé quelques nuques. Le groupe fout un tournis de mur blanc sonique pour fouetter un death metal aux encornures saillantes, dans l'esprit pernicieux du groupe Pestilence. Mon cerveau était devenu un énorme paquet de lingettes mouillées à torcher un putride death metOl que Misginving remplissait sans arrêt, je pouvais faire des mouillettes sanguinolentes avec, cool, cool.

Formé en 2013 CONVICTION est un groupe de Doom Metal avec des membres d'Ataraxie, Temple Of Baal, et un unique album à leur actif.

Mettre un groupe de doom oldschool sur un plateau death metal c'est comme poser de la tisane dans un office de traders. L'ambiance est moins remuante. Attention j'adore le doom, là c'est Saint Vitus pour le doom et du Type O Negative pour le cimetière. Il y a un côté funéraire dans leur set que certains jugeront soporifique. Le bassiste joue avec un nœud coulant autour du cou ce qui annonce en terme de métaphore que le gars va se marier nan ? J'ai noté quelques fausseté dans le chant, ohhh trois fois rien, j'ai surtout apprécié dans le chant cette recherche mélodique, une ligne vocale claire avec du spleen dans son intention théâtrale, parfois même inattendue. Ce qui ressort vraiment de Conviction c’est "... la capacité de s'épanouir dans une douce douleur." (Thomas Mann), mais aussi une visite dans les marécages de l'âme, une cadence rythmique lente, des riffs charbonneux, vraiment intenses avec ce tréfonds doom, et des solis de très bonne tenue, pour finir par une cover de Black Sabbath, hé forcément. Nous étions bercé.es d’une funambule torpeur opiacée et refermions le cercueil sur nous.

Conviction se nourrit d’une noire vision, éviscère ses démons qui tordent l’âme. Il préfère les pierres qui redressent son âme plutôt que les fleurs qui ramollissent son cœur. Il se déploie dans sa nuit et dans chaque respiration de sa musique, en trouvant sésame dans le gémissement du lointain, jusqu'à ressentir le fracas du spleen à côté de lui battre des ailes, éveiller les torpeur jusqu'aux tristesses rédemptrices.

J’ai décidé d’être sensible, car c’est ce que je suis au fond de moi depuis toujours, c’est un prix à payer, il est lourd parfois, mais je laisse rentrer chaque vague et l’écume est belle, la collision sur les roches offre un spectacle étourdissant, et au fond de cet océan se gonfle une vivacité qui s’ancre à une diversité d’émotions. Conviction navigue dans ces eaux tumultueuses, à son rythme, il est vrai.

******************************************************************

Dans la grosse lessiveuse d'internet dont nous pouvons nous goinfrer jusqu’à écœurement de toutes les musiques disponibles, nous devenons des décharges à ciel ouvert, oubliant d'apprécier dans l'instant présent l'offrande des groupes en train de jouer en live, parce que tout est encombré des restes glanés, la contradiction renaît.

VENEFIXION c'est un peu de ça avec un soupçon de ceci, rien de nouveau, j'ai déjà entendu cela plein de fois et je m'en vais. Non, il fallait rester, il fallait se laisser atteindre par cette sorcellerie, par ce fléau de metal noir, cet incurable tourment, qui vient zester ce dégoût secret, mal indéfinissable qui donne tant de torts dont on n’est point coupable. C’était la magie noire d'un concert dans toute sa beauté exaltante, avec lequel Venefixion a frotté son set avec du papier verre et un marteau clouté. Urg !

Le quintette Venefixion a laissé trois opus, "Armorican Deathrites" 2016, "Necrophagous Abandon" (split w/ Possession) 2019 et "A Sigh From Below" 2021 en faisant évoluer sa musique qui irrite les refus et lui apporte tous les feux qu’elle inspire désormais, loin des vieux grimoires bretonnant du bois de Brocéliande d'ADX. Du khôl autour des yeux, du sang sur la tronche, un death black 2.0 qui joue la carte du malin, avec un max de delay dans le chant. Ecole putréfaction avec des restes primitifs de Morbid Angel, du swedeath rock'n'roll de Tribulation, et pour les cris en fond Ghostbath. Il y a le côté black'n'roll de Venom et Midnight surtout en fin de set, augmentant l'enthousiasme d'un public férocement attiré par les puissances souterraines. Oui il y avait de la magie noire, d'ailleurs en fin de set un gars a scandé « Satan » à plusieurs reprises le poing levé, exhortant de la sorte le chanteur à faire de même, et le public de lui répondre. Merci à cet Anton Lavey d'avoir libéré les apôtres soniques de Belzébuth dans la succursale rené cassin, face à la très belle église de St Sulpice la pointe, et de ce set de Venefixion en un petit bijou de crucifix retourné.

Merci à Profusion association, à cette Nuit En Enfer, à Oldskull, Misgivings, Conviction, Venefixion et à ce peuple des ténèbres.
