The Execution of King Minos
ARTIST: UNKNOWN (CIRCA. 20TH-22NDc.)

#ULTRAKILL

King Minos from ULTRAKILL, screaming and writhing on the ground after being impaled through the forehead, chest and hand by several holy spears. A glowing cross stands in the middle of Minos' head, his crown cracked, as blood pours out of him. Gabriel stands atop his beard, holding another spear. He is bathed in holy light from above. Below him and Minos are husks, reacting in horror and grief. Several of them cling to Minos' face and hand in his pools of blood. One of them is outstretched towards Gabriel, as if asking "Why?!" Gabriel, unmoved, appears to be looking in their direction.

The Ryukishi07 experience begins.

When 54's middle section added the steady determined percussion & chimes, it got me pretty choked up the first listen.

Coincidentally I first listened to 57 when I was very angry-
The furious dancing connected and its slow cool down to an ember actually helped calm me down.
Awesome work as always!

I haven't watch the Spielberg version yet but hopefully will someday. Personally I really enjoy the interpretation by Henrique Alvim Corrêa. The idea of using water towers as technology coupled with the cartoonish eyes and long human legs make them feel pitiable, hollow and creepy.

Reading the original H.G. Wells War of the Worlds and losing my mind that the author hated the artist's tripod illustrations so much, 3/4s in, the book detours into an entire paragraph where the protag complains about how shit these tripod drawings are and then just continues on

Its motion was so swift, complex, and perfect that at first I did not see it as a machine, in spite of its metallic glitter. The fighting-machines were coordinated and animated to an extraordinary pitch, but nothing to compare with this. People who have never seen these structures, and have only the ill-imagined efforts of artists or the imperfect descriptions of such eye-witnesses as myself to go upon, scarcely realise that living quality.
Illustration

I recall particularly the illustration of one of the first pamphlets to give a consecutive account of the war. The artist had evidently made a hasty study of one of the fighting-machines, and there his knowledge ended. He presented them as tilted, stiff tripods, without either flexibility or subtlety, and with an altogether misleading monotony of effect. The pamphlet containing these renderings had a considerable vogue, and I mention them here simply to warn the reader against the impression they may have created. They were no more like the Martians I saw in action than a Dutch doll is like a human being. To my mind, the pamphlet would have been much better without them.

At first, I say, the handling-machine did not impress me as a machine, but as a crablike creature with a glittering integument, the controlling Martian whose delicate tentacles actuated its movements seeming to be simply the equivalent of the crab's cerebral portion. But then I perceived the resemblance of its grey-brown, shiny, leathery integument to that of the other sprawling bodies beyond, and the true nature of this dexterous workman dawned upon me. With that realisation my interest shifted to those other creatures, the real Martians. Already I had had a transient impression of these, and the first nausea no longer obscured my observation. Moreover, I was concealed and motionless, and under no urgency of action.
