Reviewer: Eric

Lamb of God has proven themselves as one of the top competitors in the metal scene. After almost 19 years the band has released top notch music, one album at a time. Instead of playing the same music that made them famous Lamb of God is changing things but it may be too much for some fans.

Clocking in at almost 45 minutes the new Lamb of God album is not for the weak of heart. Wrath is the sort of album that is going to break the band into the top ten, may ... Read more »

Reviewer: Eric

The Resting Sonata is the first release on Metal Blade Records for Rose Funeral. Their take on modern metal music is full of aggression and energy, but it isn’t the right sound the band needs to stand out. Is The Resting Sonata another washed-up metal release?

Rose Funeral has what it takes to become a known band in the metal scene. From live shows to certain songs, mainly the second half, you can h ... Read more »

Cannibal Corpse
Album: Evisceration Plague
Release Date: February 3, 2009
Label: Metal Blade Records

Cannibal Corpse is the champions in the death metal genre. Their music helped make the death metal genre in getting noticed by the mainstream. After playing music for over twenty years the band is back with their eleventh studio album and there is no stopping them now.

Evisceration Plague is a nonstop, head pounding death metal album that will pierce a hole in your brain. The latest release from Corpse has some of the most brutal guitar work I have ever heard from the band. The last time I can remember guitar work like this was on the bands classic fifth album, Vile. Cannibal Corpse has really stepped up their game with this release, it is insane!

The band has that song writing style that makes them infamous. The lyrical content is ... Read more »

Blood Stain Child
Album: Mozaiq
Release Date: October 9, 2007
Label: Locomotive Records

Have you ever said to yourself “I bet it’d be cool to incorporate large amounts of electronic elements like dance, techno and trance sounds into a melodic death metal album?” My magic 8-ball says “highly unlikely” but for the members of this Japanese band, it must have read “Definitely.” Blood Stain Child take the melodic death metal genre to an odd and yet compelling new level with their latest album “Mozaiq.”

Not too long from the album’s opening the waves of techno synthesizers will wash over you like a typhoon. These are accompanied by speedy guitar licks and booming drums. As for the vocal styles, they are reminiscent of Anders Friden of In Flames, with both growled and clean vocal harmonies. However, if you can understand what they’re saying a ... Read more »

The following is a Research Paper I wrote for an English class during Winter Quarter of this past School year. The pictures are unfortunatly not included but are not completely needed. You should be able to find most of the pictures by looking up both artists.

Two of the most prolific artists alive today are H.R. Giger and Alex Grey. Both artists excelled without formal training in art, creating works that arise from innate personal visions that revel foremost in the creative act itself. Giger and Grey share the main skill of a visionary artist: the ability to listen to the inner voices of the soul and to create expressive works from what they hear, though what they create may not even be thought of as 'art' by the creator (AVAM).

Salvador Dali is considered as the greatest artist of the surrealist art movement and one of the greatest masters of art of the twentieth century. During his lifetime the public got a picture of an bizarre paranoid. His personality caused a lot of controversy. After his death in 1989 his name remained in the headlines. But this time it was not funny at all. The art market was shaken by reports of great numbers of fraudulent Dali prints. What's all behind it?

For copyright reasons we cannot show you artworks by Salvador Dali on this page. Instead we decorated the article with woodblock prints by contemporary artist Tadashi Osaka, born 1937. One image shows Cadaques in Spain, where Dali had bought a fisherman's house and lived and worked with his wife Gala for a long time. If you are interested in buying art prints by this exceptional Japanese artist, please con ... Read more »

Vincent Van Gogh , 1853-90, postimpressionist painter, b. the Netherlands. Van Gogh's works are perhaps better known generally than those of any other painter. His brief, turbulent, and tragic life is thought to epitomize the mad genius legend.
 

During his lifetime, Van Gogh's work was represented in two very small exhibitions and two larger ones. Only one of Van Gogh's paintings was sold while he lived. The great majority of the works by which he is remembered were produced in 29 months of frenzied activity and intermittent bouts with epileptoid seizures and profound despair that finally ended in suicide. In his grim struggle Vincent had one constant ally and support, his younge ... Read more »

GAUGUIN, PAUL

pôl gōgăNˈ, 1848–1903, French painter and woodcut artist, b. Paris; son of a journalist and a French-Peruvian mother.

Early Life

Gauguin was first a sailor, then a successful stockbroker in Paris. In 1874 he began to paint on weekends. By the age of 35, with the encouragement of Camille Pissarro, he devoted himself completely to his art, having given up his position and separated (1885) from his wife and five children. Allying himself with the Impressionists, he exhibited with them from 1879 to 1886. The next year he sailed for Panama and Martinique. In protest against the "dise ... Read more »

Adobe's new Photoshop CS4 packs a ton of fresh features and an updated interface, which alone make it a worthy upgrade for existing users.

But the big news is that Photoshop now comes in both 32- and 64-bit Windows Vista versions. The 64-bit edition will allow PCs with lots of RAM to work on very large images with less hard-disk swapping (ideally, no swapping at all), thus speeding up operations. With the shrinking amount of RAM available to modern PCs (due to a 4GB limit on 32-bit Windows versions and those operating systems' increasing hunger for RAM), that's a significant update.

I tested betas of both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Photoshop CS4 by installing them on a workstation with dual Intel Xeon CPUs, running Windows Vista 64-bit and 8GB of RAM. Photoshop requires that you manually allocate a specific amount of RAM to it, rather than its acquirin ... Read more »

Imagine yourself making a Pixar movie and not paying a dime for the software needed to do it. That's the premise behind Blender 3D, a free fully featured 3D content creation suite. Open sourced under the GNU GPL since 2002, Blender has grown a lot since then. The current version, 2.36, is a real winner.
You can download Blender for all supported platforms (Microsoft Windows, Linux (i386), Mac OS X, FreeBSD 5.3 (i386), SGI Irix 6.5, and Sun Solaris 2.8 (SPARC), as well as the source code and several plug-ins. Bleeding edge users can download a Blender CVS compilation from the Blender Testing Builds forum. You can also grab the source from CVS and build it yourself.

For Windows users, Blender provides an installer program. If you have a *nix box you just have to unpack the contents of the install download to a folder of your choice.
