Kärgeräs
''Kärgeräs'' is the fourth studio album by Czech black metal band Root, released in 1996 through Black Hole Records. Beginning with this album, Root began to drift away from their traditional black metal-inflected sonority, seeing them advancing towards the hybridization of black and heavy metal they are currently famous for. According to the band's frontman Big Boss, ''Kärgeräs'' is a concept album that tells the story of a tribe of warriors that "lived somewhere on this Earth. It was really long ago, long ago before the race of people who unjustly called themselves ''Homo sapiens'' settled the Earth. At that time, our story took place". It comes with an 8-page booklet explaining the album's story, plus lyrics and their translation to the Czech language. The track "Equirhodont/Grandiose Magus" eventually would share its name with the debut album of a side project formed by Big Boss in 2002, Equirhodont. An acoustic music-inflected version of the track "Kärgeräs" previousl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The album's cover art was provided by Thomas Bruno; it originally began as a portrait of the band's frontman, Jiří "Big Boss" Valter, but the band liked it so much they decided to use it as the cover, and Bruno added more details to the portrait. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at the Shaark Studio in South Moravia, where the band also worked on the original ''Kärgeräs'', '' The Book'' and '' Black Seal''. ...

Side Project
In popular music, a side project is a project undertaken by one or more people already known for their involvement in another band. It can also be an artist or a band temporarily switching to a different style. Usually these projects emphasize a different aspect of that person's or that band's musical interests that they feel they cannot explore within the boundaries established by their main project. Side projects can later become full-time endeavours, but should not be confused with quitting a band for a solo career or another band. Peter Hartlaub of ''San Francisco Chronicle'' called the solo side project "the biggest longshot bet in mainstream music". ''The New York Times'' described the side project as "a break from the other band members, a chance to toy with different genres and recording methods, a fling with no long-term commitment". There can be aesthetic reasons to pursue side projects, and side projects can have the benefit of protecting indie credibility. Overview O ...

Acoustic Music
Acoustic music is music that solely or primarily uses instruments that produce sound through acoustic means, as opposed to electric or electronic means. While all music was once acoustic, the retronym "acoustic music" appeared after the advent of electric instruments, such as the electric guitar, electric violin, electric organ and synthesizer. Acoustic string instrumentations had long been a subset of popular music, particularly in folk. It stood in contrast to various other types of music in various eras, including big band music in the pre-rock era, and electric music in the rock era. Music reviewer Craig Conley suggests, "When music is labeled acoustic, unplugged, or unwired, the assumption seems to be that other types of music are ''cluttered'' by technology and overproduction and therefore aren't as ''pure''." Types of acoustic instruments Acoustic instruments can be split into six groups: string instruments, wind instruments, percussion, other instruments, ensemble i ...

Homo Sapiens
Humans (''Homo sapiens'') are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and exceptional cognitive skills due to a large and complex brain. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which bolster human society. Its intelligence and its desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated humanity's development of science, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of study. Although some scientists equate the term ''humans'' with all members of the genus ''Homo'', in common usage, it generally refers to ''Homo sapiens'', the only extant member. Anatomically mod ...
