Heavy Metal Guitarists
Heavy metal guitar (or simply metal guitar) is the use of highly- amplified electric guitar in heavy metal. Heavy metal guitar playing is rooted in the guitar playing styles developed in 1960s-era blues rock and psychedelic rock, and folk harmonic traditions and it uses a massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos and overall loudness. The electric guitar and the sonic power that it projects through amplification has historically been the key element in heavy metal.Weinstein (2000), p. 23 The heavy metal guitar sound comes from a combined use of high volumes and heavy distortion. Heavy metal bands often have two electric guitarists, with one guitarist playing rhythm guitar and one guitarist playing lead guitar. The rhythm guitar player is part of the rhythm section of the band, along with the bass guitarist and the drummer. The lead guitarist plays guitar solos, instrumental melody lines and melodic fill passages. In power trios, whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was the band's first album with guitarists Marek "Ashok" Šmerda and Aleš "Alesh A.D."

MetalUnderground.com gave it a 4 out of 5, stating: "''The Book'' seems more focused overall than ''The Temple in the Underworld'', keeping up the unique style but not going nearly as eclectic. The sound is based in doom and a constant mid-tempo pace, and is overal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 Temple In The Underworld
''The Temple in the Underworld'' is the third studio album by Czech black metal band Root, released in December 1992 through Monitor. This marked the end of their early raw black metal sound, and was also their last release with guitarist Daniel "Mr. D.A.N." Janáček. It was re-issued under CD format by Monitor with two bonus tracks. The lyrics to "Casilda's Song" were taken from the eponymous poem by Robert W. Chambers, originally included on his 1895 book '' The King in Yellow''. However, as per the book, correct spelling should be "Cassilda", not "Casilda". "Intro" uses samples from Ludwig van Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". A music video was made for the track "Aposiopesis". Critical reception ''The Temple in the Underworld'' has received positive reviews. MetalReviews.com gave it an 87 out of 100, stating: " tsriffs are simply amazing, prog-tinged creations of epic melody that will have you gasping with pleasurable shock even as you headbang.

Zjevení
''Zjevení'' (English title: "''Revelation''") is the debut album by Czech black metal band Root, released in December 1990 through now-defunct record label Zeras. It is noticeably the only full-length album by the band to feature songs with lyrics in Czech, and is regarded for shaping the sonority of the early Czech black metal scene of the late 1980s/early to mid-1990s. The album's cover art and photography was responsible by František "Franta" Štorm, a long-time friend of Root's frontman Big Boss and founding member of yet another influential Czech black metal band, Master's Hammer. He also collaborated with Root on the cover art of their single "7 černých jezdců/666". The album was re-issued in CD format in 1991 with a different cover art (also by Franta Štorm) and the bonus track "Hřbitov". A music video was made for it. Sheer Records, another now-defunct Czech label, distributed the album outside the Czech Republic, re-releasing it in 1999 with its title transl ...
