Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes What is death metal?

1 of 9

In my opinion, extreme metal is the last and greatest movement in music. It is the pursuit of pure emotion, most famously anger and resilience, though notably also sadness, thoughtfulness, and would you believe it; happiness. It is birthed from all other genres; classical movement, jazz technicality, blues attitude, and natu... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Don't pity me

22 of 148

Pity? Whats pity when envy sets in? Its just a word passed between apes, Wide grins swallowing the poor A couple of pennies, maybe a dime Nothing more, no thoughts Bitterness? Am I old now? What's bitterness when all is lost Yet nothing is earned? Money is nothing and pleasure is fleeting Smiling up at the sky from the grave... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Misery

39 of 147

If I were to die? What then? How far does time extend? When will the beating heart stop beating?When will the liar shut his mouth and the thousand holy starving mouths swallow their tongues? Will tears form rivers around my grave and wash me away? Will It be painful? Will it be peaceful? How long is eternity? More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Rain

79 of 252

Youthful flame, flicker dawn Creaking sky splits, thunder A strike of lightning Bleeding heavens; God's blood Soft drops of pearl, cold ice, descending angels Flame, still young, dancing, careless Inescapable fate Ash bursts, embers scatter Chill winds claw and tear Flame withers Smouldering embers wash away All is safe again More..

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Top five progressive bands

4 of 12

Progressive music, an infinite art of forging new paths through the audio sound-scape. I love bands that truly break the barriers, and create challenging and beautiful music in the process. I apologise; many acts, pioneers of rock, metal, jazz, blues and classical will not be presented in this article, since I am going to fo... More..

Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: Indestructible, by Disturbed

1 of 2

I used to be a fairly big fan of Disturbed. Once upon a forgotten time you could hear my shouting out all the words with the worst of them. Then, as with most nu-metal bands, I got bored of them because something fresher and more interesting made my blood pump faster than Disturbed could push it. The album opens with a nice ... More..

Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: Fear of a Blank Planet, by Porcupine Tree

Food & Drink > Spices, Herbs & Condiments Should gravy be thick or runny in consistency?

10 of 14

Gravy and sauces are the clothing of any dish. I dare anyone to disagree with that statement. Think about it, throwing your mind back to every cooking program or expensive restaurant you have ever partaken of. Do you remember, with of course minor exceptions, any main courses or starters which lacked a god sauce, or a dazzli... More..

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Despair

6 of 8

Despair is a kind of inevitabality. More importantly, its a step towards maturity. Absolute misery has to be understood before full comprehension of the self can be realised. That sounds pretty loud, but I'd say it wasn't far from the truth. So what am I talking about? Well, I deem maturity as the natural step after the chil... More..

Style & Beauty > Jewelry Do designer watches justify the price tags attached to them?

6 of 7

Of course they don't. Nothing of that nature ever does. Cars and houses and... anything material to be perfectly honest. Except honest neccessities. A designer watch suggests by its very name that it has been designed, implying a unique entity that will define you from a crowd. The truth is that its a watch, hidden by your s... More..
