[SCP Foundation / Sarkicism] Nälkän Chant #02 'Chant of Life'

"And in sorrow, and in love, we become one - we are the new flesh that will usurp the old. And end this Cosmic Blasphemy once and for all. I hold truth as a flame - may it burn away your falsehoods."

🦌 Quote from An Anthropological Approach to Sarkicism - Case Study 01: The Vaśńa of Sarvi

─────────────

A song about the Ur-Nälkän view on life. About deer, worms, and how living forever is incomparably better than dying because what waits after death is far worse and stuff like that....

Also thank you all for the overwhelmingly positive response on Chant #01! Hopefully I'll have the time and energy to create more of these songs!

About the Language:
The language I am singing in does not exist in the real world. The lyrics are supposed to be in a Finnic dialect of Adytite(Ämärangnä), a fictional language spoken by the Sarkic Cults(Nälkä) in the SCPF universe. Adytite, in universe, is an old Uralic language that is thus related to Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian.

At first glance, Sarkicism seems to just be your typical occult meat monster horror. In reality, it's much deeper than that.

Nälkä has some very tragic undertones. The founders of the religion - Ion and his Klavigars - wanted humanity to use the power of their flesh to usurp the dark gods and create a paradise on Earth. Yet, despite their good intentions, their "own" powers slowly betrayed them and turned Ion into someone no better than the beasts that he once claimed to fight.

I have little doubt that sane Ion would be disgusted at what Nälkä has devolved into in the modern age. While you still have a handful of benevolent Proto-Sarkic groups, most modern practitioners of the craft have turned to practices that would truly horrify the Grand Karcist.

The role of Yaldabaoth and its' Archons in the SCP Pantheon is also super interesting, especially in their relationship to Mekhane. In some ways, the conflict between the COTBG and the Sarkic Cults could be seen as a billion-year-old child custody dispute!

Based on the lyrics I can imagine this being sung to celebrate a childbirth within a proto-sarkic village deep within Eastern Europe

2:10 the moment those sleigh bells come in, I'm a young cub scout staring at a bonfire that is calling me above the voices of my own mother and father, feeling the heat on my face.

[rishiitsharma]

we're getting out of foundation containment with this one

[bruhmemento]

Karcist: Tell us, why do you seek to join our rank? Do you wish to liberate yourself and harness the power of your flesh?
Me: *i-i like your music*

[emissaryfromhell]

dropped 2 bangers and left YouTube Immediately

The first time I read about Karcist SCP, it was mainly portraited as body horror or how a human's fleshly desire can corrupt the entire world
But after reading some tales and SCP, some Karcist worshippers actually teach the power of flesh as a form of self-control and mental improvement through minor flesh manipulations (I don't quite remember the SCP code but the part I like most is when a Foundation agent doing a site interviewing with a local Karcist, the Karcist introduces the agent to their dog which kinda looks like Overgrown Rover in One Punch Man. The agent was, of course, disgusted and ask why they created such an abomination. The Karcist calmly explains how this is actually the perfect dog that can survive on its own in our new environment, and he questions why the agent does not consider The Pug breed as a sin of mankind in creating such creature that suffer from illness that can only be cured by human)

Back to listening to this after Rounderhouse released Bone Proposal. What an unbelievable work it was.

[hahahahahahahahaa]

Holy fuck wait youre THE Niram??? One of the best artists in the community Niram?? The person who inspired me to start drawing again Niram??? YOU MADE SOME OF THE BEST IN-UNIVERSE MUSIC FOR THE SCP-VERSE TOO?? GODDAMN DUDE

[zachialadams]

The original belief in Sarkite mythos revered life and sought to protect it by strength and might. It's modern iterations forget what it was always supposed to be, a sensation. The first song was sung by flesh, the last will be intoned in metal. But in between, let us produce a symphony on bone and brass together.

I’m amused by the prospect that it’s only one vocalist reciting.
Live.

[sirlemonthest]

cant believe it’s been over a year. if you are still reading these comments, please make more

[Слышьты-фю]

The fact that SCP worldbuilding contains a biopunk faction, that isn't hivemind NOR just wants to eat everyone, is already 10/10.

Removing SCP-610 (disease that, like a disease, tends to assimilate everything) from sarkicism hub was a right decision. As well as returning it as anti-sarkik bioweapon.

[timseay]

You know, Sarkicism is sounding much more appealing right now.

[nocturnered]

Sarkicism, artwork and these songs makes me remember visual novel called Athanasy

Here are the lyrics in adytite from niram herself :


Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Sanoja saa Jaan Pelestjä
Pojata śänen Kalmaktansa
(Ai juman-surmaaja täśä jälkävä matsa)
Saavaka südatsi verjä
Etiva le tsilaki tsähkä
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Verjä varta kuunta-vatsja
Kala ui-soleva ranaśa
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Kokse linta tsaske linta
Lome leppe taivas lenava
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Ala aske kuja kutsa
Kuuri-kuusi ja saśa süvi
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)

Puuen kujo kierin kujo
Tä ahka kulo mi antam tsinuta
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Ne kai tsiun sare-velje
Süntejä ükte veriältä
tsä let ne ja ne let tsäksä
Luletsi elät uudesaan
Katsoka mejan maa ja ilma
Vasjuman käjen norkopeita
(Ai kavala vultaaśa mi tsännäm selatsi häijä)
Katsoka kalma elaskea
Aina kojasella maksa
(Ai kavala vultaaśa mi tsännäm selatsi häijä)

Katsoka elä üktereä
Jama-kitsa ja närä-väsjä
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Katsoka vihasatsin alka
Kui südäjänte jumat kurata
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Teetaka kesetsi kutsuksa
E leikka jäksä teräśä ala
Tunnaka sojatsi siipeksa
Kava sukanda…
Sanoja saa Jaan Pelestjä
Pojata śänen Kalmaktansa
(Ai juman-surmaaja täśä jälkävä matsa)
Säüläkä südätsi verjä
Jo se esatta evoja nätsä
(Ai poja rakas mejan nätsä tsilaki anśa)
Ne kai tsiun sare-velje
Süntejä ükte veriältä
tsä let ne ja ne let tsäksä
Luletsi elät..
Künele varta kai kalma ja
Sänen savoita koratsama
Nätsämä ismat änä voima
Tuleka, mejan Ikunaan!

Reading the lore: BIG FREAKING NOPE
Listening to this: Where do I have to sign?

[fvardona]

The funny thing is that I and my friends created a clan named Nälkän in Conan Exiles, the very next day a Clan named Mekhane appeared and they started to fuck with us since then. I did not talk with them to know if they catch the reference, but for me they know who we are that is why they have this obsession haha.

[sinistropteryx]

Robert Bumaro been real quiet since this dropped

[nothereanymore]

Holy crap, I can't believe I suddenly had a spark of interest in Sarkic cults 10 hours after this masterpiece was uploaded.
