A View on the beliefs in Metal…

As a member of a death metal band I have been told many opinions from many different people. Some opinions are exceptional and some are not. People come up to me and say, “Why can’t I understand the vocals?” This is because the vocals play a much different role in the band than you would see in a normal rock/other band. Vocals play as an instrument more than a type of singing. This started to become my hypothesis when I first started listening to metal, which was about four years ago. I was reading the lyrics to a Napalm Death song. This song was not understandable at the time. I noticed when I read along with the music I could make out the words perfectly. Metal is a language that few actually listen to. To all of the people that dislike or believe metal is wrong, take the time one day and read the lyrics before judging a band. The band I am in you would think would be pretty brutal, think again. I have sat with the vocalist in every session of music writing and watched him write these amazing lyrics. Our lyrics are rarely about mutilation and cannibalism, they are about intelligence and our world around us.

If you wish to check out my Discussions feel free because I personally love the work I am putting into it and I hope you will to.

Some Musical Theory
If you are interested in playing an instrument you may think this would be a great resource. Below I have facts about many intruments (not a about metal). So below I hope you find something interesting. Flute: The flute has been around for a very long time and has been through many changes in the way it looks and sounds. Years and years ago as many of you know the flute was made of wood. These had a sound that only people could like if they heard it. The flute in present time differs drastically than years ago. The metal they are made of these days are unknown to my knowledge. I do know from experience of playing this instrument flutes are still far from invincibility of damage; so be aware. Tuba: The Tuba is a very important insrtument when you are in a band/symphony; I would know. When I was in a band in my very young years we lacked a tuba player. Without bass backing up the treble instruments it will sound not to great. I then switched to tuba and we began to sound more like a real band. Tubas have been around for a while but they are not nearly the oldest of them all. There have related instruments to the tuba in ways that have be traced back thousands of years ago. Bass: The Electric Bass is a reletively new instrument when you compare it to others. The elctric bass plays a very important role in all types of bands in a types of music. Without the electic bass the music as many know it today would not be the same. The Classical Guitar: The classical guitar has been around for severka hundred years. The classical guitar is a very difficult instrument to learn. Most great classical guitar players start at very yound ages. When they begin it is not so much as only starting on guitar, some go from first playing the piano/flute. These are very common instruments if you know your music theory. The Electric Guitar: The electric guitar has not been around for a long time at all if you look at how long time is by itself. (laugh) The electric guitar is a very popular instrument these days and is very important in music as we know it. Some genres that have been created through-out the years do not include the electirc guitar and still sound great. I personally am one of those people that love the guitar in every type of music if it is technical. Percussion/Drums: Percussion is probably the oldest of every type of music known to man. From the cave man to the elctric drumsets, the sound is still alive. The Percussion sections soul purpose in music is to keep the beat at a steady tempo until the tempo changes. I am a big fan of the drumming in metal because of its technicallity. Blast-beats, Flare, etc. It is all something that you can not learn by another in short timing. This all takes time, persistance, hard work, etc to get. More instrument coming..

Straight Edge
Being a straight edge is not an easy job. If your a straight edge like myself you would no that it is sometimes hard to keep your promise to yourself. The reason I became a straight edge is because I watched and listened to other peoples problems and I did not want the same to happen to myself in time. Being a straight edge is different for every person. The basic rules are: No Drugs, No Alcohol, No sex. Some take vows that are harder than others and some take vows easier than others. The vows I take and that I think are very responsible are: No Drugs, No Alcohol, No Sex, No Pornography, No Tobacco. The symbol of the straight edge is the "X". I have two "X's" On both of my hands every day to show that I am under a powerful vow that not many cat do. If you would every be interested in more information in straght edge seardh up the straight edge ways here at wikipedia or at other places online. Corey Marsh

Genre's
If you are looking into music don't do it because everybody else doe's it. That is the perfect way to get yourself made fun of. Listen to what you want to listen to. These topis below are many types of music you can check out one day if you feel like taking music seriously. Classical Music: Music that is performed mostly by wind instruments. Known to be much more mellow yet technical and time consuming than other instrument. This is a very cool kind of music to listen to if you are into music theory. Jazz: Music that is performed by many types of instruments. Mainly known for the Saxiphone, Trumpet, Trombone, Guitar, Bass (Electric or non-electric), Drums, etc. This style of music has a nice swing to it; very melodic, very techincal depeding on artist. Blues: Blues is very common to Jazz but known to be as slow or much slower. Blues music revolves around sadness, heartbreak, etc. This is an awesome type of music to learn. The problem is is that in this type of music it is mainly not as technical as others. Rock: Rock is sometimes technical but much more known for its catchiness. This type of music was one of the first to show the world distrortion. This type of music revolves around guitar (because of solo's), and vocals mainly. I personally am not a fan.. Heavy metal: This was one of the first types of music I actually paid attention to. This music revovles around the the guitar over everything else. At one time the world became addicted to soloing techniques and thats when it erupted. To get a taste of Heavy Metal check out some of these bands: Metallica, Pantera, Motorhead, etc. Look around that category and you may meet your needs. Death Metal: Heres where I come in at with my true knowledge. This music is known to be very fast but most of all have brutal vocal lines. Now, it depends on how you look at the vocal lines. The lyrics are not always brutal. If you go and read some of the vocalists lyrics you will seee they are more intelligent thatn brutal. Death metal is not always satanic. "Don't get me wrond because I love satanic music." To get into the instrumental is the fun thing. First let's start with the Guitar. The guitar is mainly fast and super technical. To learn this type of music you have to be at the top of the list in musician-ship. The solo's are crazy when this comes into play. the drums are one of the most techniacl thing to learn in this style. The double bass movement is probably where most of the mistakes will be made. the other thing with the drumming is the major hand and foot separation. The bass is very hard to discribe in this. You could almost turn any type of bass line into a metal bass line with the right TLC. This is the basic knowledge of Death Metal. Please learn more if you wish. Black Metal: Black Metal is kind of like death metal but you add most of the time a keyboard player to the band. The vocals are also a bit different. They are alot mosre raspy than death metal, etc. Black Metal also tends on being a bit more satanic in some parts. This music is great. Hardcore: Hardcore has higher more screamy vocal lines. This music is also known to be technical but there is one thing that makes hardcore stick out from every other, the popular break-downs. These can go from being super technical break-downs to open note break-downs. some musicians play in Standard tuning or "Drop D" tuning. Open note break downs sound best in drop D I believe. This is a very nice type of music to get into. Metal-core: Metal-core is know to be pretty technical because of its mix breeded style clashing Metal and hardcore together, "and to me this is AWESOME!" Between the buried and me are perfect examples of and awesome metal-core band. They are super technical and are very progressive. I love that because they don't only clash Metal and hardcore but they clash other things like Jazz. Please look into this genre, it truely is one of the best. Grind-core: Grind-core is a type of music that you cannot ever see what is coming next. Each riff is totaly different than the last. This is very cool type of music when you listen to it. I will warn you, this music doe's take some time to get used to. It is much different than other types anybody has ever heard. The vocals go from high to low over and over again. There is also a really cool thing that has been developed that is used in this sometimes, "Pig-squeels". You would have to listen to a grindcore band to get what I am trying to get out.
