metal
Distorted guitars, crazy rhythms, dense bass, and insane vocals. What it means to be a metal head.
The Catman part IV
Peter and Ace saw the opportunity of making good money with the Reunion tour. Ace was not doing much with his band “Frehley’s Comet” and jumped right in without hesitation. If you ever wondered how Gene and Paul got so rich, the “Reunion” tour is the answer.

It's Bliss To The Ears Listening To Music At Night
Investing further in my music fandom, I would listen to music daily. I'll play the CDs I burned through my laptop in the morning. Through the hallways at school, I'll play music at full volume. I'll listen to music after hours when sleep seems nonexistent.

Symphonic Metal Bands: Nerdiness vs Kickassery — A statistical analysis
I love metal, especially the power/symphonic kind. But man — there is some nerdy stuff out there. But does the nerdiness improve or hinder the overall kickassery of the music? Let us analyze:

The Noisy Ensemble of HEALTH's "DISCO4."
Synth/noise-rock band HEALTH have a new album, and it's an echo chamber with a myriad of voices in the realms of the obscure and the accessible, for both those who prefer the rough and the clean. You may know Health’s sound, which weaves seamlessly between the industrial and the electronic (yet rarely strays from the chaotic) via their tracks in video games such as Max Payne 3, Grand Theft Auto, or Cyberpunk 2077 or perhaps their partaking in film/television such as Atomic Blonde or, strangely enough, 13 Reasons Why. But they should not be overlooked in terms of their listenability outside of those other mediums. They’ve released four albums prior to the two-part album that this article is about, ranging from the noise rock to EBM to pure synthpop with no distortion in sight.

I’m Not Your Token
We’re not your tokens. That’s what I always say. Only rock n roll can move my soul. Yes I like Bone Thugs and Outkast every now and then and I love 80s and 90s R&B. But the thing that’s get my blood flowing and the tears streaming down my face is rock n roll. From classic rock to heavy metal, in the words of Joan Jett, put another dime in the jukebox baby.

violent calm
With all the extra stress of the age the chance to escape in to a calm place is essential. A chance to block out the noise with your own noise, decide what's disturbing you. The difference for me is the louder and heavier it is the better it calms me.

The year was 2014. I had only recently come to terms with my new beliefs about the origin of life in the universe and the implications of those beliefs. I was still 23 years old. My brother had passed away only six months prior. I was excited about the upcoming Coheed and Cambria concert, Alice in Chains was just headlining. I was going with my two friends, Shelly and Cory.
Justin Douglas LeePublished 9 months ago in BeatMy Heavy Halloween Playlist
Making a perfect Halloween playlist requires a lot of thought. Obviously the songs should at least loosely follow a Halloween-based theme. I created my playlist with the intention of including a mixture of different artists and different Halloween-related themes. I have to admit that the music I chose for my Halloween party playlist would not appeal to everyone, but I feel like it is well-suited for the purpose of keeping the spirit of Halloween going strong.

Why I'm a Metallica Fan
I've meant to write this particular piece for some time now, but two significant reasons have kept me from doing so. The first is that I needed the timing to feel right to showcase my endless adulation for my favorite musicians. The second is that I wanted to find a good headspace to write about them so I could do them justice. Metallica is approaching its 40th anniversary. In addition, they have recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of their critically acclaimed album self entitled the Metallica Album, better known as the Black Album, so I feel the time has come to write this long-awaited love letter. And as far as finding a good headspace for writing, I have learned that there is no time like the present. So, here is why I became a Metallica fan.
