Death Growl
A death growl, or simply growl, is an extended vocal technique usually employed in extreme styles of music, particularly in death metal and other extreme subgenres of heavy metal music. Death growl vocals are sometimes criticized for their "ugliness", but their unintelligibility contributes to death metal's abrasive style and often dark and obscene subject matter.Sharpe-Young, Garry. ''Death Metal'', Definition Death metal, in particular, is associated with growled vocals; it tends to be lyrically and thematically darker and more morbid than other forms of metal, and features vocals which attempt to evoke chaos, death, and misery by being "usually very deep, guttural, and unintelligible." Natalie Purcell notes, "Although the vast majority of death metal bands use very low, beast-like, almost indiscernible growls as vocals, many also have high and screechy or operatic vocals, or simply deep and forcefully-sung vocals."Purcell, Natalie J. ''Death Metal Music:The Passion and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Black Science (GZR Album)
''Black Science'' is the second studio album by heavy metal band GZR (known at the time as Geezer). It was released on July 1, 1997 by TVT Records. The cover art for the album is intended to represent the Black Sabbath song " Hand of Doom". Geezer about the '' Doctor Who'' connection in the song "Among the Cybermen": "Yes, the lyrics were originally about the death of Doctor Who. The original chorus was "Doctor Who lies dead among the Cybermen", about the final battle of Dr. Who, but was supposed to be symbolic of the end of childhood. I changed it because I thought it sounded a bit silly. Most of the album is about growing up in the era of Sixties television, and its influence on me."

Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania
Mifflinburg is a borough in Union County, located in Central Pennsylvania's Susquehanna River Valley. Mifflinburg was first settled in 1792 by Elias and Catharina Jungman (Youngman) and their two children. They divided the land into 60’ by 120’ plots that were sold to other adventurous settlers, many of them German, and the village of Youngmanstown was formed. A few years later George Rote (Rhoade) laid out a village just east of Youngmanstown, known as Greenville or Rotestown, after George's death. Eventually, the two settlements merged at Third Street.

Aggression Continuum
''Aggression Continuum'' is the tenth studio album by American heavy metal band Fear Factory, released on June 18, 2021. It is the band's first studio album since ''Genexus'' (2015), marking the longest gap between two albums in their entire career.

Bell leaving the band in 2020 after more than three decades as their singer. Despite this, Bell's vocals are present on the album, as they were recorded in 2017. ''Aggression Continuum'' also saw Fear Factory's lineup intact for the first time since '' Transgression'' (2005), with Mike Heller on drums and founding member Dino Cazares contributing to both guitar and bass.
