Leander Rising
Leander Rising (formerly known as just Leander) was a Hungarian metal band. History The band started in 2009 after the disbanding of another Hungarian metal band named ''Babylon'', which the lead singer Leander Köteles was a part of. During this time, this bands only member was Leander himself. But in 2010, Attila Vörös joined the band after watching Leander perform his own song ''Csak te'' ("Only You"). In the same year, they obtained two new members: József "Jozzy" Takács and Bela Budai. After a sold-out concert in Budapest in 2010, Leander (their erstwhile name) became a household name within the Hungarian metal scene. Also in 2011, after a successful summer festival tour in Hungary, Sony Music Hungary took notice of the band and signed them for a contract. On 24 March 2012, their first album was released, named simply ''Szívidomár'', with an English version of the album named Heart Tamer being released online, and later on 27 November 2012 in disc format.

Metal (music)
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and United States. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock and acid rock, heavy metal bands developed a thick, monumental sound characterized by distorted guitars, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats and loudness. In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers – Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple – were founded. Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and party rock of Van Halen. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence,Walser (1993), p. 6 while Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an ...

Moby Dick (Hungarian Band)
''Moby-Dick; or, The Whale'' is an 1851 novel by American writer Herman Melville. The book is the sailor Ishmael's narrative of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship ''Pequod'', for revenge against Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale that on the ship's previous voyage bit off Ahab's leg at the knee. A contribution to the literature of the American Renaissance, ''Moby-Dick'' was published to mixed reviews, was a commercial failure, and was out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891. Its reputation as a "Great American Novel" was established only in the 20th century, after the 1919 centennial of its author's birth. William Faulkner said he wished he had written the book himself, and D. H. Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world" and "the greatest book of the sea ever written". Its opening sentence, "Call me Ishmael", is among world literature's most famous. Melville began writing ''Moby-Dick'' in February ...
