| 1. | Al Jourgensen | ||
|
One of the most important contemporary musicains.
He started Ministry as a synthpop band but soon changed to electonic body music under influence of industrial music. When electronic body music bands started to adopt denser synth sounds in late 1980s, AJ instead incorporated thrashmetal-influenced guitar riff, creating the brilliant genre Industrial-Metal. After three albums, however, he abandoned the genre and went to other some obsucure fields. Al Jourgensen sounds like northern European but he is a Cuban. Jourgensen is his stepfather's family name.

| 4. | mosh it up | ||
|
This term originates among Rastafari, and nobody knows if it is mash it up, mess it up, etc. For Rasta, moshing it up means destroying Babylon System which means paying respects and praises and learning from the tree of knoweldge. Young rastas mosh it up when they resist totalitarian police, when they demonstrate, and when they fight. For thrasmetal fans, moshing it up is destroying conformity and defying authority. Typically seen in pits in front of stage areas, moshing it up for thrashers is a way to demonstrate contempt for and agression to pressure. Typically involves slamdancing, skanking, agressive expressions of all types. Similarly, a thrashmetal musician can mosh it up when he/she is really good. Rasta: Lick them chalice and we'll mosh it up.
Thrasher: Anthrax's Scotty Ian can mosh it up. |
