Biography

After working a string of behind-the-scenes jobs — including writing songs for Brandy, singing backup for the Sugababes, and impersonating Elvis — songwriter/producer Bruno Mars put his name on top of the charts in 2009 by co-writing Flo Rida’s hit song “Right Round.” One year later, he collaborated with rapper B.o.B on “Nothin’ on You,” and co-wrote Travis McCoy’s “Billionaire,” both of which became Top Ten hits. Mars used that momentum to launch a solo career, quickly becoming the first male vocalist in two decades to crack the Top Ten with his first four singles.

Machine Head – Darkness Within

December 30, 2012/in Music/by Kacey Kaderly

This song starts out a little slow but it gets good. I instantly liked it when I first heard it.

Machine Head is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California. Formed on October 12, 1991, the group was founded by Robb Flynn and Adam Duce. There have been 4 member changes since their inception. The current lineup of the band comprises Flynn (vocals, guitar), Duce (bass), ex-Vio-Lence guitarist Phil Demmel (guitar), and Dave McClain (drums). Machine Head is one of the pioneering bands in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal.

Machine Head was formed by member Robb Flynn, previously part of the bands Forbidden and Vio-lence. Flynn felt musically unfulfilled with Vio-lence and requested to start a side project. When his request was denied, he left the band and formed Machine Head in 1992 with Adam Duce, Logan Mader and Tony Constanza. Though the band’s first album, Burn My Eyes, was a big success in Europe where it garnered attention on MTV’s Headbangers Ball, in America (with HBB taken off the air during the grunge movement) Machine Head would not have success until later albums.

The band nearly disbanded in 2002 after negotiating off its label, Roadrunner Records, when controversy surrounding Machine Head’s fourth album Supercharger (released 3 weeks after September 11, 2001) resulted in their songs and their then-current video for the song “Crashing Around You” (which featured burning buildings) being pulled from all media outlets. The band re-signed with Roadrunner soon after and has released three albums since, 2003’s Through the Ashes of Empires, 2007’s The Blackening (which earned Machine Head its first Grammy Award nomination) and 2011’s Unto the Locust. Machine Head have sold more than 2.4 Million albums worldwide.

LYRICS

Here in the darkness that I lay
Depression heavy in its weigh
And how my body aches to leave
To sing its final eulogy
My sons I love you evermore
And though the road beckons once more
I see the damage that I’ve done
In search for redemption
But I am just a broken man
Whose souls cries out to understand
How the madness shatters me
Upon the stage on bended knee
I scream out loud at skies above
That answer mute bereft in love
I struggle not to fall from grace
Or sing the hymns of my disgrace

We Build Cathredrals to our pain
Establish monuments to attain
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
Lest we drown in the darkness within

Mysterys forgotten chords
I strum in vain to please the lord
But he has never answered me
My faith has waned eternally
In empty men who pass along
The woes of all religions wrong
But now the Shadowed veil it falls
Heed the Clarion call
So pray to music build a shrine
Listen in these desperate times
Fill your heart with every note
Cherish it and cast afloat
Because god is in these clef and tone
Salvation is found alone
Haunted by its melody
Music it will set you free
Let it set you free

We Build Cathredrals to our pain
Establish monuments to attain
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
Lest we drown in the darkness within

Music my saviour (Save me)

We Build Cathredrals to our pain
Establish monuments to attain
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
Lest we drown in the darkness within

Tool – “H.” Lyrics:

What’s coming through is alive.
What’s holding up is a mirror.
But what’s singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.They’re both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.

Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.

And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.

And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It’s all right.
I don’t mind.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,

And considerately killing me.

Korn – Coming Undone (Original Version) | VIDEO

December 27, 2012/in Music/by Kacey Kaderly

Artsit: Korn – Coming Undone
Album: See You on the Other Side [Explicit Lyrics]

Korn is a group that I have been jamming out to since the mid 90’s. The first Korn Album I owned was Follow the Leader which was released in 1998 followed by their 2nd amazing album Issues released 1 year later in 1998. These albums are what helped me fall in love with Korn’s new metal movement that blends aggressive hip-hop rhythms with roaring hate-metal riffs. In the wake of the band’s 1994 debut, many like-minded groups cropped up, including Deftones, Snot, and Limp Bizkit. Korn was the perfect option to listen to right before playing a high school football game. Their groovin’ psychedelic fury gets the heart racing!

One Korn song that I can never get tired of is Coming Undone. Try to listen to this song and not sway your head with the beat! This some is absolutely sick!

Biography
Formed: 1992 in Bakersfield, CA
Genre: Rock
Years Active: ’90s, ’00s, ’10s

Korn embrace the future on The Path of Totality, their tenth full-length studio album and second for Roadrunner Records.
Infusing dubstep anarchy into their signature sound, the legendary quartet stand on the cusp of a musical revolution for both hard rock and electronica. Korn are no strangers to revolution or innovation though. In fact, they’ve been purveyors of heavy music’s progression since forming in Bakersfield, CA in 1994 and becoming one of the most influential entities that the genre has ever seen.
