However, music is always playing, and you know that almost every poem, story and article that I publish on Vocal has an appropriate song added to it for you to listen to as you read.

Silence is Golden, Noise is Deadly.
Sound. Whether we like it or not, it permeates every aspect of our lives, from the first morning clock sound to the final quiet sigh before bed. However, sound is more than simply what we can hear—oh no, it has some secret abilities! It has the power to cure our bodies, alter our moods, and even alter the surroundings. The job description for sound would be "Professional Shape-Shifter," as it can be both a soothing lullaby and an annoying annoyance that breaks your eardrums. Let us explore how music, noise, and silence are influencing our lives and the earth in unexpected, enigmatic, and occasionally just plain bothersome ways today—without being too loud.

Who is Doktor Avalanche?
Doktor Avalanche is the name given to the iconic drum machine used by The Sisters of Mercy since the band's early days. More than just a machine, Doktor Avalanche has become a legendary "band member," symbolizing the cold, mechanical precision behind the band's gothic rock sound. In the absence of a traditional drummer, Doktor Avalanche provides the relentless beats that define many of their tracks.

Remembering Cleopatra Records
Remembering Cleopatra Looking back at the 90s, Cleopatra Records was more than just a label. It was a pivotal part of my musical journey, alongside other 80s and more current record labels I follow. It was during this time, while chasing down rare and obscure music, that I first encountered Cleopatra's roster. For someone deeply embedded in gothic, industrial, and experimental music, finding albums under their label felt like unlocking a hidden treasure.

Crucifier: Merciless Conviction
For the past 10-15 years, Greece has been a powerhouse in the thrash metal scene, producing bands like Bio-Cancer and Suicidal Angels. However, delve deeper into the underground, and you'll find high-quality acts like Chainsaw, Released Anger, and The Crucifier. Emerging in 2002, The Crucifier's debut album Merciless Conviction marked the beginning of their brutal journey. This album, though raw and unrefined, set the stage for the band’s rise in the Greek thrash metal scene, showcasing their potential for creating vicious, speed-driven music that rivals the best in the genre.

Brequette could've won
I was in a random discussion with a Spanish speaker about this... I don't remember how it came about, ah yes. I heard HÃ¥ll om mig in the background of a Insta reel and made me remember how fun keeping up with Eurovision was. Then the distant memory of Brequette came back to me.

History of the beta movement. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
The Beat Movement, or Beat Generation, was a literary and social movement that emerged in post-World War II America, centered in the late 1940s and flourishing through the 1950s. It was spearheaded by a group of writers who, feeling alienated by the conformity, materialism, and restrictive cultural norms of mainstream American society, sought to redefine what it meant to be an individual in a conformist age. These writers developed a voice and style that resonated with a generation disillusioned by war and in search of authenticity, spirituality, and freedom. The movement’s influence eventually stretched beyond literature to shape music, art, and American counterculture.
