Updates 7 Mar 2019

This post is outdated now, but I wanted to leave it up -- at the very least, for awhile -- in memory of Lúcio "Lord Scarborough". I've removed the actual "updates" part of the post now.

LORD SCARBOROUGH (R.I.P.)


Today, we lost a brother in the unblack metal scene. Lúcio "Lord Scarborough" Rodrigues da Silva played in a number of bands, in various styles, including Margorium; Prophetic Symphony; Skymetal; and perhaps even more. He had a long battle with cancer; I remember in 2015 already, there was a rerelease of Margorium's EP, to help raise money for him. He fought quite hard, living another 4 years. Last month, he went to the hospital and spent about 2 weeks there, and today (7 March 2019) he passed. However, he is not truly ""dead"', nor is anyone who clings to our Lord, Jesus Christ. The flesh dies; the spirit lives on. The flesh only feels separation; we know in spirit, through wisdom handed down by God, that this separation is temporary, and if we only walk the narrow path for awhile longer, we will reunite with him, in the kingdom of our Father God / Dios / Deus / Gott / YHWH / YHVH. ............. But of course, while the knowledge of Heaven is a great comfort for wounds like these, the wounds are still there, and are never easy to deal with; Jesus Himself grieved the death of Lazarus.

Prayers and condolences for Lúcio's family and friends during this difficult time.

I, myself, never got a chance to talk to him while he was on Earth -- but it's clear, he is loved by many. MANY. ..................... And I look forward to meeting him someday, alongside the rest of you.

R.I.P. Lúcio.


Here are a couple things other people have said today, and I wanted to share:

Evig Morke Productions quoted this passage:
(PORTUGUES)
Disse-lhe Jesus: "Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida. Aquele que crê em mim, ainda que morra, viverá; e quem vive e crê em mim, não morrerá eternamente. Você crê nisso?" João 11:25-26
(ENGLISH)
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26

Neohadth shared this:
(PORTUGUES)
Um grande guerreiro se foi hoje, pra nós ficou uma grande lição que nosso eterno amigo Lúcio nos ensinou durante o seu tratamento contra o câncer, onde temos que valorizar cada momento, assim como ele fez mesmo nos dias mais difíceis..
Ficamos muito triste com sua partida mas também ficamos felizes por saber que ele está do lado do nosso eterno e adorado pai que é Jesus Cristo.
(ENGLISH)
A great warrior is gone today; for us, it was a great lesson that our eternal friend Lúcio taught us during his treatment against cancer, that we need to [value/appreciate] every moment, just as he did in the most difficult days.
We are very sad with his departure but we're also happy to know that he is by the side of our eternal and beloved father, who is Jesus Christ.
