metal
Distorted guitars, crazy rhythms, dense bass, and insane vocals. What it means to be a metal head.
Halloween Heavies
Halloween is a time for soaping cars, vandalizing your neighbor's house with toilet paper rolls, playing with Ouija Boards, trespassing into graveyards at night, and who knows? maybe committing mass human sacrifice at some hitherto undisclosed location run by a drug cartel in Buenos Aires and presided over by a huge, skulking, black-clad woman named Juanita. It's all fun and games until someone loses a soul.

Dio, Holy Diver, and Hexagram 10 of the I Ching
Was Ronnie James Dio a student of ancient Chinese wisdom? There’s no question that many of the archetypes which are pervasive in Western esoterica surface in Dio’s work. We recognize the Lady of the Lake and the chivalrous knight from Arthurian legend. We come face to face with wizards, witches, dragons, and the wandering fool who might just be a god in disguise.
