TERRORIZE THE FUTURE_

In our inaugural issue we find ourselves pinned between encroaching possibilities and shattered pasts. Explorations of fascism and resistance, insights from the darkness of history, and imperialism on the backs of dragons. Plus, a mission statement.

THE_BLOOD KNIFE

Media as symptom, disease, idle fascination, purgative, and cure. A message of welcome to a bad idea, and heartfelt gratitude for those making the same mistakes as ourselves. Welcome to Blood Knife.

MUSIC FOR DISCOMFORTED CIRCUITRY.

A magazine should be more than just the words within it—it should be its own experience and aesthetic, every bit as essential to the content.

Each issue, we provide a short selection of songs reflective of the content, theme, and tone. This month we’ve selected electronic music for electronic times: repetitive synths, whimsical algorithms, twisted strings, and ambience.

``YOU CANNOT_BUY THE REVOLUTION. YOU CANNOT MAKE THE REVOLUTION. YOU CAN ONLY BE_THE REVOLUTION.``

FEATURES_

Fiction holds a mirror up to life, sometimes presciently, sometimes imperfectly. This month we bring you a series of essays on the interplay between our art and our reality, and the times of change and conflict – cultural, social, economic, military – in which we find ourselves.
