Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 24 (Part 2): Aaron Carey of Nechochwen (West Virginia)
Manage episode 328456249 series 2912897
This release brings you part two of our interview with Aaron Carey of Nechochwen. In this segment, our topic of discussion turns to particular lyrical practices and how these patterns are connected to Nechochwen's thematic focus on native American history, culture and mythology. Shifts in Aaron's lyrical approach across albums, including shifting from writing from the first person plural to first person singular perspective, reflect different periods of his life where he was feeling relatively connected or isolated from community. Drawing on particular Native American conceptualizations of the passage of time, Aaron explains that even when composing lyrics that detail events that occurred centuries before his birth, he feels personally embedded in the stories he weaves. The detailed descriptions he writes to accompany these songs invite the listener to accompany him on this journey into the past and regain lost knowledge of Native American peoples. As Aaron put it "we lost some stuff and we want it back". And so, this interview poses some important questions about the potential for metal music to serve as a vehicle for language reclamation.
The second part of this episode will be released alongside 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.
