Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 24 (Part 1): Aaron Carey of Nechochwen (West Virginia)
Manage episode 327826226 series 2912897
For Episode 24, we sat down with Aaron Carey of Nechochwen for what ended up being a THREE HOUR chat about his blackened folk metal features lyrics that address native American history, culture and mythology. While we are no stranger to long episodes here, we decided to do something unprecedented for Lingua Brutallica: split the episode in half. In our first release, we begin with Aaron’s explanation of how his exploration of Native American themes in his lyrics is part of his personal investigation of the lives of his Shawnee and Lenaupe ancestors and his history in West Virginia, and details the incredible lengths he has gone in attempt to preserve the languages and traditions of the land. In particular, Aaron talks about how he works with and integrates resources from historical texts he has collected, some of which date back many centuries, into his lyrics, with Nechochwen’s lyrics straddling the lines between the personal, the instructive, and, of course, the metal, with Aaron also explaining how metal was the only suitable genre to convey the stories he wanted to tell. Stay tuned for the second half of this video next, as well as a full live video of our chat where you can see Aaron display the linguistic and historical resources he discusses throughout this two-part episode.
