Have you ever heard someone say ‘music is a universal language’? A language that, regardless of what country you’re from, one that you can communicate with someone from the other side of the planet. And yet, people nowadays seem to completely disregard the music industry, even though music itself is therapy for many people, and one of the greatest forms of entertainment. A quote-unquote sensible person would say the music industry is ‘oversupplied, undercompensated’ and that ‘the ability to earn

American musician, songwriter, arranger, record producer, radio disc jockey and actor Steven Van Zandt stated in his interview 'Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart' (Zandt, 2003). Let's start with the fact that NATO was originally created not only for the purpose of containing the Soviet Union, but

Our hands met with fingers interwoven like a ball of yarn. It wasn't like intimate or anything, more like a power struggle. I felt a warm surge of energy coursing through my veins. There was this faint glow that had developed in the nest of fingers. The fear in my chest was waiting until the opportune time presented itself to propel me into anxiety. Geoffrey, on the other hand, seemed addicted. Maybe he was being a bit over-dramatic, laughing like a maniac as he too felt this surge of energy - wait

Framed I was running, I don’t know where, but any where’s safe, anywhere but here. The wet mud under my feet made my brand new Nike Flex TR’s look as if I had had this pair of shoes forever.

I been dangling for a long while, and nothing but pain, and stress was flooding my mind. I was dangling between two trees, a rope tied around my ankle. I was in serious pain, I felt as my ankle and

A Former Prisoner. I can hear silence. It is pitch black except for the faint light ray, piercing through the closed glassy window. At least, I am free of these shackles now. The shackles set by my over-protective, over-scrutinizing parents that deteriorated with time. These fixed steel shackles that prevented me countless times from escaping. But, I still cannot escape because I am scared to leave the cell and go outside. I cannot even remember the last time I held a meaningful human interaction

Classic rock and indietronica, both contrast each other greatly in basically every attribute. Though both of these sound nothing alike, use of instrumentation can identify their common traits.

Rage Against the Machine's music is a sonic assault on the senses, a fusion of metal and rap that transcends genre boundaries and defies categorization. Their incendiary sound is characterized by Tom Morello's virtuosic guitar riffs, which blend heavy metal shredding with unconventional effects and turntables, Tim Commerford's thundering bass lines that resonate deep in the chest, Brad Wilk's thunderous drumming that propels the music forward with relentless intensity, and Zack de la Rocha's commanding

When it comes to types of music some will appeal to certain types of people, some won’t. For me music is always an art, something that people can connect to, and if enough time is put into practicing, can make art themselves. Metal is what this paper is going to be covering, the sub-genres, and which bands have mastered and become known for these sub-genres of metal.
