It's me! Again!

Hello Lobb!

        My name is Madeline Rose Kuik, as I am sure you already know. My goal in this class is to get an 85% or higher, to learn new things, and maintain a positive attitude! Yahoo! I will try to keep things "fresh" on this blog, and make sure I include different facts about myself from previous blogs/blog posts..

       I would just love to tell you every single detail about myself, but I'm sure it would take a lifetime and I wouldn't want to bore you because there is an endless amount of information about each being on this planet.

      Now, I'd also like to take this opportunity to explain why I love heavy metal. I have been to metal concerts and festivals and it's a pretty amazing experience. Some of the bands I have seen live would be:
TesseracT, Animals as Leaders, Between the Buried and Me, Origin, Fleshgod Apocalypse, The Faceless, Job For a Cowboy, Kataklysm, Cannibal Corpse, System of a Down and a few more.

Metal is an underground genre of music that I feel is overlooked as "scary noises" and "annoying".. of course I disagree with this because these musicians are just as talented as any other big time musician. Take Tosin Abasi, from Animals as Leaders, for example.




Clearly he is very talented. I find this music to be interesting, and easy to get in to. It's groovy and fun to listen to!

One of my favourite parts of metal is being able to listen to a song a thousand times but each time you seem to notice a part in the song that you did not notice before. It's exciting because metal has so many good riffs in it, and so many unique sounds that I can't help but enjoy it!

Another highlight would be the lyrics. It might sound weird, but some of the lyrics are actually really pretty! Of course there are the lyrics about blood and gore, but there are bands such as Between the Buried and Me who have delightful lyrics!

Fossil Genera - A Feed From Cloud Mountain 
Beyond the satellites:
Sweet candy populous...a worry free entrance into the world's history.
Never underestimate...never think beyond their thoughts.
The satellites have been trapped and Cloud Mountain will carry on the commands of our ancestors.

Indeed we work from here. We have for centuries...hearing every breath...watching every disease.

Below the satellites:
The leaders are driving to the farthest retreat. Sit back, relax, enjoy the ride.
They have been speaking for years.
Every night while you are asleep they have been discussing what the future holds for us all.
The outer space takeover. Worlds collide in a dreary pre-determined idea brought by our fellow night owls.
Their stories have been mocked...their ideas have been crushed...but after last night they control every idea we will think from here on out.

A government overthrown...
We have come to tell you all that we could have prepared for this.

The night owl speaks overhead:
The apocalypse will happen sooner than we think if we don't read the journals our station has prepared for you all.
We call ourselves the "night owls". We've roamed the earth for years and kept your world afloat.
We've made it so you stay comfortable in your precious homes.
While you sleep,we discuss. Discuss our future...your future.

Our journals give detailed instructions on the machines and weapons we must build.
These are weapons that none of you would even begin to think could harm the outside world...Everything you know is false...your first instinct is now your last.
Like I've said before...we have been discussing and planning this for decades.(Trust is essential)
We don't have time to explain everything, but just know that everything will soon change.

Trust us and we will all be safe. We are the new government.

Before the satellites:
In simple times we must take control.
With simple skies we create...more sky.
A simple land we must change...for man...is god.
A simple life we must break...
How fast we grow...
We must move on.

Some metal bands incorporate classical music into their songs also, like Fleshgod Apocalypse:


And then you have bands such as Cannibal Corpse who are death metal (there are so many different genres of metal) who have the brutal lyrics, heavy sound, and badass vocals:




Well thank you for taking the time to view my blog! Rock on \m/!
