Formed only in 2007, Fleshgod Apocalypse are at the vanguard of Italy’s extreme metal movement. No other band in the country’s history has taken ownership of and innovated on death metal quite like the Italians. Inspired by greats Morbid Angel, Deicide, and Cannibal Corpse as well as renowned composers Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven, Fleshgod Apocalypse have fused disparate genres and crafted a sound that’s powerful, impressive, and unique across three full-lengths, the latest of which was 2013’s critically-acclaimed Labyrinth effort. However, the group are only getting stronger. Add in film score composers such as John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Howard Shore and melodic death metal—Carcass and At the Gates—and there’s clearly no stopping Fleshgod Apocalypse’s creative ambitions.
“Fleshgod Apocalypse’s music is orchestral music,” says frontman/guitarist Tommaso Riccardi, blurring the lines between classical refinement and metallic bombast. “This means that drums, bass, guitars, and vocals are elements of the orchestra, together with all the other sections, [such as] strings, brass, etc. This means that in the process of composing new songs we always consider all these elements together. Of course, sometimes a guitar riff could be the starting point, while sometimes the song could come to life with the idea of a main orchestral theme or a drum rhythm, but it’s going to be a very organic process in which all these elements are written and arranged together during the evolution of the songwriting.”
What Riccardi is saying is that when it comes to writing music for Fleshgod Apocalypse, the spark of inspiration can come from anywhere on any instrument. For new album, King, a song like “Gravity” started with a riff, while a song like “In Aeternum” kicked off with an orchestral motif. Then again, “The Fool” was informed by both Classical and death metal. As with Labyrinth so too with King, the Italians focused first on melding their influences and second on writing songs that would be immediately recognizable yet have a wider and deeper cinematic scope.
“[The songwriting was] very stressful as usual,” the frontman laughs. “We are extremely meticulous about everything, especially the songwriting, and I think this is what made us grow up so fast and gave us the chance to play so many great stages over the years. We are hard workers and we never settle on anything. King’s songwriting and arrangements took almost nine full months—plus all the recordings—so it was actually very challenging. But we are so happy with the results.”
To date, every Fleshgod Apocalypse album is built on the album before it. They’re a synthesis of the music and mentality of what came before. Labyrinth took from and expanded upon 2011’s Agony. The Mafia EP was an extension of debut album, Oracles (2009). King is, therefore, cut from the same cloth as Labyrinth, but in the three years between albums, Fleshgod Apocalypse have matured greatly.
“[King] is much more than the sum of its parts,” says Riccardi. “I think we reached the perfect balance between all the aspects of our music. Besides that, I really believe that we simply wrote our best songs so far. Every riff is mind-blowing and the way we managed the arrangements and song structures is great; I really feel that everything is in the right place, when I listen to it.”
Fleshgod Apocalypse are no strangers to concept albums. Agony was about all the ways our painful feelings can lead us to be violent and hurt others; Mafia was about the way the Italian mafia uses fear to control the weak and perpetrate their dominion on the populace; while Labyrinth centered on the labyrinth of Knossos, the legendary maze made by Daedalus. King, however, moves the band forward lyrically. There’s real commentary behind the stories of a collapsing world.
“King is about an old world that is slowly coming to an end,” Riccardi informs. “The king himself is, in a way, the only positive character of the whole story. He represents justice, integrity, and wisdom that are slowly being corroded by ignorance and mediocrity spreading everywhere. We thought this could be a perfect way to describe our indignation about the unrestrainable downfall of our own society in an era that looks more like the Middle Ages rather than the 21st Century. Obviously, in this story there is a positive message: that the king could be inside every one of us. It’s up to us to recognize the King and find the courage to stand for what we believe in. We should all hail the king we have inside!”
Recorded across two studios—Kick Recording Studios and 16th Cellar Studios—King is easily Fleshgod Apocalypse’s most forceful yet. Pre-production was handled by Stefano Morabito at 16th Cellar Studios—a session Riccardi called “really comfortable”—whereas the full production was completed at Kick Recording Studios with Marco Mastrobuono (Hour of Penance). The sessions for King were, as the frontman tells it, an “amazing time.” The ultimate goal was to give Fleshgod Apocalypse a firm foundation from which to build their complex yet savage music.
“I think working with Marco has been the very first step towards the realization of a very high quality product,” says Riccardi. “We are extremely satisfied about the work we did on the album sound, both during the recordings with Marco Mastrobuono at Kick Recording Studio and of course during mixing and mastering with the almighty Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios.”
Speaking of Bogren, the Italians felt it was absolutely necessary to take King out of the norms of their homeland. They opted to hire Jens Bogren (Soilwork, Symphony X, Enslaved) for his sonic expertise. Their reasoning was this: if Fleshgod Apocalypse had a gem in King on their hands they weren’t going to tarnish it. The group’s hopes were answered when they heard the first Bogren mix, actually. Fleshgod Apocalypse had something massive on their hands.
“We were looking for people who could really interpret our music and put it in a way in, which with all the things going on, where it could be intelligible and still extremely heavy and powerful,” the frontman says. “And we definitely succeeded. We finally obtained what we had in mind since the beginning: a great sounding album.”
If Fleshgod Apocalypse are at the pinnacle of classically-inspired death metal—King is a pivotal album—then where will the Italians take the genre next. For certain, they own it. More orchestration. More death metal. Superlative bluster from all angles. Thankfully, they can first put their efforts into King before deciding where they’ll take the genre in the future.
“This is a very hard question to answer,” Riccardi admits. “It is never easy to predict something like that. What I can say is that on our side, we are trying to push ourselves more and more into something that is grandiose, but at the same time heavy and sharp; something violent, obscure and dramatic!”
We can certainly live with that. Hail to Fleshgod Apocalypse! Hail to the King!
This is a photograph from the finish of the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 27th August 2016 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 11:00. This is the fourth year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
We have a large set of photographs from the start and the finish of today's race on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157669860212434
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was warm summer weather for the entire race which made for warmer than usual running conditions There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each.
As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

The recognisable structure of Issey Miyake's 'Bao Bao' bag is achieved with a series of triangular tiles that shift as the bag is moved to create new geometric forms. The versatile nature of the surface resembles origami and makes the bag changeable, moulding to the shape of its contents as well as to the wearer's body.

Bags: Inside Out
(July - January 2022)
Bags: Inside Out is the UK's most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the ultimate accessory. With an exclusive look inside the world of the factory and atelier, this exhibition explores our longstanding fascination with the bag, from designer handbags to despatch boxes, vanity cases to military rucksacks.
Bags project bold statements to the outside world whilst concealing our most treasured belongings. Featuring around 300 objects, varying in scale from tiny purses held on a fingertip to luxurious travel trunks, the exhibition explores the function, status and craftsmanship of these highly covetable objects from the 16th century to today.
The first section of the exhibition examines bags as practical objects designed to hold our belongings – from holiday outfits to confidential documents, make-up to money and even gas masks.
Titled Status and Identity, the second of the exhibition sections looks at the central role of the bag in celebrity culture as well as its notoriety amongst the political and societal elite.
The use of bags as a blank canvas for slogans, personal statements and political messages and their role as a public platform to share beliefs and convictions is represented through objects including an anti-slavery reticule bag from 1825, the 'I am NOT a Plastic Bag' tote by Anya Hindmarch and a 'My Body My Business' handbag by artist and activist Michele Pred.
The final section of the show will look at the Design and Making process from sketch to sample, sewing to selling. A 'maker's table' will allow visitors to get up close with bag making processes and materials, alongside newly commissioned interviews with designers and makers.
A hotbed for collaboration, the bag offers an opportunity for experimentation and statement designs. A 17th-century purse in the shape of a frog, Thom Browne's handbag in the form of his dog Hector and a Chanel bag transformed into a milk carton will explore the surrealism and humour evoked through accessories.
The exhibition finishes with designers experimenting with innovative and environmentally sustainable materials.

Funding for this Carnegie library was granted on March 31, 1905 in the form of $73,900. It stands at 10 Garden Street on the Radcliffe Quadrangle and is known as the Schlesinger Library.
Radcliffe College was a women's liberal arts college in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and functioned as a female coordinate institution for the all-male Harvard College. It was also one of the Seven Sisters colleges, among which it shared with Bryn Mawr College the popular reputation of having a particularly intellectual, literary, and independent-minded student body. Radcliffe conferred Radcliffe College diplomas to undergraduates and graduate students for the first 70 or so years of its history and then joint Harvard-Radcliffe diplomas to undergraduates beginning in 1963. A formal "non-merger merger" agreement with Harvard was signed in 1977, with full integration with Harvard completed in 1999. Today, within Harvard University, Radcliffe's former administrative campus (Radcliffe Yard) is home to the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and former Radcliffe housing at the Radcliffe Quadrangle (Pforzheimer House, Cabot House, and Currier House) has been incorporated into the Harvard College house system. Under the terms of the 1999 consolidation, the Radcliffe Yard and the Radcliffe Quadrangle retain the "Radcliffe" designation in perpetuity.

Mandarin Duck. I think this is a new arrival in two senses; the first I've seen at Stover but I suspect it may be a juvenile. The colours don't seem complete on the head and breast. Let me know if you agree or not.
Le fort Boyard (prononciation : /bwajaʁ/ Écouter — plus rarement : /bɔjaʁ/ Écouter) est une fortification située sur un haut fond formé d'un banc de sable à l'origine, appelé la « longe de Boyard » qui se découvre à marée basse et est situé entre l'île d'Aix au nord-est, l'île d'Oléron au sud-ouest, avec l'île Madame au sud-est et l'île de Ré au nord, appartenant à l'archipel charentais.La Longe de Boyard est rattachée au cadastre de la commune de l'Île-d'Aix, dans le département de la Charente-Maritime.
Si la construction d'un dispositif défensif sur la « longe de Boyard » est envisagée dès le xviie siècle, le projet n'est concrétisé que dans le courant du xixe siècle. Édifié afin de protéger la rade, l'embouchure de la Charente, le port et surtout le grand arsenal de Rochefort des assauts de la marine anglaise, il est transformé en prison quelques années à peine après son achèvement. Surnommé « fort de l'inutile » par la population locale lors de sa longue période d'abandon, l'édifice est, dorénavant, essentiellement connu dans le monde entier grâce au jeu télévisé du même nom, tourné sur place depuis 1990.
Le fort Boyard fait partie intégrante de l'Arsenal maritime de Rochefort qui s'étend tout au long de l'estuaire de la Charente. Il est la propriété du conseil départemental de la Charente-Maritime depuis 1989.
Il fait l’objet d’une inscription au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 1er février 1950.
Le fort est construit sur un banc de sable nommé « longe de Boyard », située à l'origine à 4,50 m de profondeur sous les Plus Basses Eaux, qui a donné son nom au fort5. Dans un premier temps, la désignation sur des cartes hollandaises du xviie siècle de ce banc de sable sous l'appellation Banjaert Hollandis a laissé penser à une origine néerlandaise de ce nom. Ce terme, prononcé banyard, aurait pu se transformer pour devenir le Boyard connu aujourd'hui. Cette origine a été réfutée par des études ultérieures qui ont conclu que l'emprunt s'est certainement fait dans l'autre sens et que l'appellation originale viendrait du nom commun boyart qui désigne une partie de charpente dans une écluse de salines. La saunerie étant une activité historiquement installée sur l'île d'Oléron proche viendrait expliquer cette étymologie.
De forme oblongue, le positionnement du fort est situé à 2 900 m de l'île d'Aix et à 2 400 m de l'île d'Oléron. Il mesure 68 mètres de long dans l'axe sur 31 mètres de large, pour une superficie au sol de 2 065 m2 et totale de 2 689 m2. La cour intérieure mesure 43 m de long dans l'axe, 12 m de large et sa surface est de 565 m2. Les murs d'enceinte culminent à 20 mètres depuis les fondations. Il est visible depuis Fouras, depuis l'île d'Oléron, depuis le pont qui relie le sud de l'île au continent, depuis le phare de Chassiron par beau temps, à l'extrême nord de l'île ainsi que d'une bonne partie de la côte est de celle-ci, notamment depuis Boyardville, mais aussi depuis la ville de La Rochelle et bien sûr de la côte ouest de l'île d'Aix, où de nombreux touristes et enfants viennent en été voir le fort de plus près.
De 1995 à 2002, dans le cadre d'animations organisées par des groupements de communes et le conseil général, appelé les « Sites en Scènes », un feu d'artifice y était tiré à la nuit tombante depuis son couronnement supérieur, le 14 juillet, visible depuis toutes les plages des alentours. Ce feu d'artifice contenait des milliers de fusées et durait, en moyenne, une trentaine de minutes avec, en simultané, la 1re version (1989) du générique de l'émission (composé par Paul Koulak), diffusée en boucle sur une radio locale.
L’île d’Oléron (en saintongeais Ilâte d’Olerun) est située dans le golfe de Gascogne, en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, au large des côtes de la Charente-Maritime dont elle fait partie, à 1,5 km de la pointe Espagnole et à 14,5 km au nord de l'estuaire de la Gironde. Avec les îles de Ré, d'Aix, Madame et Nôle, elle fait partie de l'archipel charentais ; elle est séparée de la presqu'île de Marennes par le coureau d'Oléron, au nord, et de la presqu'île d'Arvert par le pertuis de Maumusson, au sud.
Plus grande île française métropolitaine après la Corse, avec 30 km de long sur 8 km dans sa plus grande largeur, elle a une superficie de 174 km2 et plus de 21 000 habitants permanents.
Au cours de son histoire, elle fait partie tantôt de l’ancienne province de l’Aunis, tantôt de l’ancienne province de Saintonge, au gré des nombreuses guerres, surtout pendant la période médiévale.
Administrativement, l’île d’Oléron correspond au canton de l'Île d'Oléron, depuis 2015. Sa capitale actuelle est Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron, principal pôle commercial et artisanal de l'île. Jusque sous l'Ancien Régime, c'est la ville du Château-d'Oléron, siège de la subdélégation et abritant la garnison de l'île, qui remplissait cette fonction.
Depuis le 19 mars 1966, l’île est reliée au continent par le pont de l'île d'Oléron, long de 2 862 m, troisième plus long pont de France après celui de l’île de Ré et celui de Saint-Nazaire, et est le plus vieux pont de France à relier le continent à une île.
Célébrée par Pierre Loti, elle est surnommée « Oléron la lumineuse » en raison de son fort taux d’ensoleillement tout au long de l'année.
Île d'Aix
