A Good Day To Die
A good day to die (or today is a good day to die) is a phrase historically associated with certain Native American cultures, although it appears to mischaracterize the historical sources, and its actual origin is unclear. The phrase has since been appropriated into other cultural contexts. For example, in the ''Star Trek'' franchise, it occurs several times as a Klingon saying, with ''Star Trek'' writer Marc Okrand proposing several ways to say the phrase in the Klingon language. '' Starship Troopers 3: Marauder'' also features a patriotic song called by the phrase. In another example, Jun Guevaru from the anime '' Baki Hanma'' always says the phrase before a fight. The film A Good Day to Die Hard also appropriates the phrase. In 1849 the phrase was reported to have been said by Willbur Fisk, a Methodist minister who had actively proselytized among Native Americans and helped secure a translation of the Bible into Mohawk, twelve days before his death (in 1839): "In the morning ...

A Fine Day To Die
''Blood Fire Death'' is the fourth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory. It was released on 8 October 1988, through Music for Nations sublabel, Under One Flag. The album, although mostly black metal, includes some of the first examples of Viking metal. According to the book ''Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult'' by Dayal Patterson, ''Blood Fire Death'' began a second trilogy, an era Quorthon described as the "pre-Christian Swedish Viking Era". Background and recording The lyrics to "For All Those Who Died" were taken from a poem by Erica Jong, first published in her book ''Witches'' (1981), while the first three verses of "A Fine Day to Die" are taken from "Cassilda's Song" of Robert W. Chambers' '' The King in Yellow''. The front cover comes from the painting ''The Wild Hunt of Odin'' (1872) by Peter Nicolai Arbo. The painting as well as the opening track "Oden's Ride Over Nordland" use the Wild Hunt motif from folklore. ''Blood Fire Death'' established this ...

Crazy Horse
Crazy Horse ( lkt, Tȟašúŋke Witkó, italic=no, , ; 1840 – September 5, 1877) was a Lakota war leader of the Oglala band in the 19th century. He took up arms against the United States federal government to fight against encroachment by white American settlers on Native American territory and to preserve the traditional way of life of the Lakota people. His participation in several famous battles of the Black Hills War on the northern Great Plains, among them the Fetterman Fight in 1866, in which he acted as a decoy, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, in which he led a war party to victory, earned him great respect from both his enemies and his own people. In September 1877, four months after surrendering to U.S. troops under General George Crook, Crazy Horse was fatally wounded by a bayonet-wielding military guard while allegedly resisting imprisonment at Camp Robinson in present-day Nebraska. He was honored by the U.S. Postal Service in 1982 with a 13¢ Great ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Force of Habit'' is the fifth studio album by American thrash metal band Exodus (American band), Exodus, released on August 25, 1992 by Capitol Records.
