Power Of Soul (band)
Power of Soul is a Soul music, soul/funk band from Argentina. In 2006, after A.N.I.M.A.L. disbanded, Titi Lapolla (then A.N.I.M.A.L.'s bassist and background vocalist) kept on composing material, which later became the material in Power of Soul. It was by chance that the songs were recorded, as Titi's friend (and producer) Sebastián Subirana listened to the songs and proposed him to record them. By the end of the year, this album was already in the market, and albeit being completely independent, it is also available in important music retail chains as Musimundo and Yenny. Their only album to date was recorded almost exclusively by Titi Lapolla, with guitar solos on six songs by Mariano "El Conde" Vanrafelghem, who later became the official electric guitarist of the band. Martín Carrizo (former A.N.I.M.A.L. drummer) provided sequencing on one track as well as drumming for the band on its early days, to later become the official drummer. All songs on the first album are in the E ...

Roots (Sepultura Album)
''Roots'' is the sixth studio album by Brazilian metal band Sepultura. It was released in Europe on and in the U.S. three weeks later on March 12 by Roadrunner Records. It is the band's last studio album to feature founding member and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Max Cavalera. Following the shift to slower tempos and Latin-tinged rhythms on the album '' Chaos A.D.'', ''Roots'' delves even further into Brazilian musical textures and features significant contributions from iconic Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown, who guided and arranged the sections throughout the album that feature ensemble percussion playing. Both in sound and overall aesthetic, ''Roots'' is also a conscious nod to Brazil's marginalized indigenous population and cultures. The song "Itsári" features a Xavante chant that re-appears on the song "Born Stubborn" and serves as a loose thematic thread for the whole album, which on the whole showcases the band's increased affinity for experimentation and collaboration. ...

Millennial
Millennials, also known as Generation Y or Gen Y, are the Western demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996. Most millennials are the children of baby boomers and older Generation X; millennials are often the parents of Generation Alpha. Across the globe, young people have postponed marriage. Millennials were born at a time of declining fertility rates around the world, and are having fewer children than their predecessors. Those in developing nations will continue to constitute the bulk of global population growth. In the developed world, young people of the 2010s were less inclined to have sexual intercourse compared to their predecessors when they were at the same age. In the West, they are less likely to be religious than their predecessors, ...

Rap Metal
Rap metal is a subgenre of rap rock and alternative metal music which combines hip hop with heavy metal. It usually consists of heavy metal guitar riffs, funk metal elements, rapped vocals and sometimes turntables. History Origins and early development (1980s–early 1990s) Rap metal originated from rap rock, a genre fusing vocal and instrumental elements of hip hop with rock. The genre's roots are based both in hip hop acts who sampled heavy metal music, such as Beastie Boys, MC Strecker Cypress Hill, Esham and Run-DMC, and rock bands who fused heavy metal and hip hop influences, such as 24-7 Spyz and Faith No More. Scott Ian of Anthrax (who helped pioneer the genre) believes Rage Against the Machine invented the genre. However, Urban Dance Squad (formed in 1986), fused rap and metal before Rage Against the Machine; nonetheless, Rage Against the Machine is considered to have refined the sound, giving rap rock an edginess and grit that would define the genre for years t ...

Drop C Tuning
Drop C tuning is an alternative guitar tuning where at least one string has been lowered to a C, but most commonly refers to CGCFAD, which can be described as D tuning with a 6th string dropped to C, or drop D tuning transposed down a whole step. Because of its heavier tone, it is most commonly used in rock and heavy metal music. Variations * CGDGBE – Dropping the low E string to a C, and the A string to a G, to make a fifth chord. The rest of the strings remain the same. * CADGBE – This is achieved by taking standard tuning (EADGBE), and dropping the low E to a C. All other strings remain in standard tuning. Artists that have used CGCFAD *Alter Bridge (on some songs such as " Isolation") *Arch/Matheos *Black Stone Cherry *Chimaira (on most songs after their first album) *Dååth * Dope *Escape the Fate * Heaven & Hell (on "Follow the Tears") *King's X (most later material and live performances, also used on some songs since '' Dogman'') *Nickelback (on some songs) ...
