Caesthoffe (sometimes stylized in all lowercase), also known as Aurora or Rory is an American artist and online personality. They[a] are not known for doing anything important outside of the small community they occupy.
Caesthoffe was born in 2003 to a narcissistic mother and a father who was no longer in their life. They attended Hazen High School in Renton, and later Bellevue College before dropping out after their second semester. They've since taken many different retail jobs in the hopes of finally moving out.
Caesthoffe uploads acoustic covers of popular rock and metal songs onto Youtube[1] and less rehearsed/produced tracks onto Soundcloud.[2] On Youtube, they have amassed 1.6k views and currently sit at 50 subscribers as of 13 February 2024. Bands that have influenced Caesthoffe include Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against, Nine Inch Nails, The Clash, The Smashing Pumpkins, and many of the grunge bands from the Seattle music scene. They've also been influenced by many of the local bands they've seen at smaller venues, such as sundogs (now Diazepam) from Las Vegas.
Caesthoffe has voiced support for left-wing political views and movements, and considers themselves an anarcho-communist. Raised by right-wing parents, they didn't question their political ideology until discovering online political communities on Youtube and Twitter. Left-wing content creators that were "more palatable" to a young conservative brought them out of the alt-right pipeline, and gave them the room to discover their queer identities as well. They support many different beliefs and movements including the freedom of information, the right to privacy, pro-piracy, queer anarchism, relationship anarchy, anti-amatonormativity, and more.
Whereabouts Unknown (or The Metal March, according to Tim) is the closing track of Appeal to Reason. it's one of the softer songs on the album, and closes the entire thing out on a shakespearien story of heartbreak. about two long forgotten friends, on opposite sides of the battle field.
there's a lot of poetic tragedy in this tale, and i think it especially shines through in the second half of the track. whereas the first part is mostly some exposition about the characters, the second half gives some absolutely fucking gut punches:
Another place, another time
We toed the same side of the line
Yeah, we saw eye to eye
Even then the saddest sounds
Were nothing laughter could not drown
But we are not laughing now
I see your face
In my sights
I hesitate
And then look for a sign
Somewhere in the sky
the juxtaposition between the two is stark; firstly, he talks about his brotherly comradery. toeing the same line, seeing eye to eye, drowning their sorrows in laughter. the last line of the verse, though, brings us back to reality. the protagonist looks down the sight of (assumedly) a sniper rifle, at a friend he once loved and hesitates as he aims. i can't express how great this dichotomy is.
i also want to just higlight the chorus, because it's easily the most impactful part of the song. specifically the chorus after the bridge, the one that closes the track (and album) out. if the verses/pre-choruses are the sort of level headed commentaries on the state of their relationship, the chorus is a plea for the future of it.
Your whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
It's alright now
It's alright now
'Cause all is forgiven
If you could just listen
It's all right
It's all right
even though this song is inherently political, i do like how almost everyone can relate to this in an a-political way. not everyone knows a Christo-facsist soldier, but everyone has a friend that they've lost touch with. everyone has a friend they miss. the repetition of that last line, "it's alright," is filled with desperation but also love. and his final speech, about forgiveness, ends the story unresolved... which leaves the album with a strange unfinished feeling. like there should be more to listen to, more stories of love and war and the weird ways they intersect. overall, it's just a fantastic song and an incredible end to a phenomenal album.
