I believe in music’s ability to transform one’s mood.

“Gunning for you and all mankind, I’ve lost my mind. Psychotic, rabid dementia, I won’t be fine.” – Avenged Sevenfold While the members of Avenged Sevenfold, a Heavy Metal band, are not psychotic killers, their lyrics refer to the destruction of other humans.

People often refer to the decade of the nineties as the “decade of information” and when applied to the concept of music, I consider the nineties the most opportunistic decade which aided the success of music on the 2000’s. With the advances in technology and the popularity of the internet expanding, people were able to strategically use new forms of mass media to promote or advance not only political initiatives, but social ones as well such as new and exciting genres of music. The nineties included
Sean Edwards Professor Wallace ENGL 2300C October 9, 2014 In the Introduction to his translation of Beowulf, R. M. Liuzza suggests that the poem establishes “a kind of spiritual solidarity between the pagan past and the Christian present” (30). While the poem certainly establishes a solidarity between the two beliefs, the way the two intertwine throughout the poem suggests that it is more of a melting pot of the two beliefs, rather than just a “spiritual connection.” The melting pot of the two religions

Album Reviews There is a time to be concise and a juncture to be descriptive. Technology allows downloads to be purchased track by track or the whole album if the user wishes.

“Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire”, if one doesn’t know where this famous lyric has come from, the band Metallica would be the answer. Metallica is a lethal, energetic, up tempo metal band that has been around since October 1, 1981.
