Delray

n.

1. A neighborhood in Southwest Detroit, located south of the Ambassador bridge between Fort street and the Detroit River near Zug Island. Delray formerly was a suburb of Detroit until it was annexed by the city in 1905. Soon after, it became a major industrial center surrounded by residential homes. As time progressed, many industrial jobs began to leave Southeast Michigan, and as a result, so did many of the residents of Delray. It has collapsed into a heavily impoverished, polluted area which many Detroit leaders have hoped to completely industrialize. The air in Delray is rated the most polluted in the entire state of Michigan. Many houses in Delray are assessed at near only $3,000-5000.
Delray is a lonely neighborhood.

math rock/metal

n.

1. A term that encompasses most all modern progressive rock or metal that places emphasis on time signature modulation and meter as opposed to dynamics, melody, or harmony. "Math rock/metal" encompasses everything from the jazzier leanings of post rock act Slint, to the phrase swapping and odd meters of the Dillinger Escape Plan, and even the hemiola and polyrhythm experiments of bands like Meshuggah and Tool.

2. A term often falsely described as "intelligent music" by people who simply regurgitate what they are told and apparently have no idea how to count.

revolving time signature

n.

1. A phrase of music notated in a particular meter, but accented as though it were written in another. When played against the backdrop of the initial time signature, the "revolving" time signature feels as though it is moving around the other one.

2. Another term for hemiola
The revolving time signature at the end of the song gave me motion sickness.

khanate

n.

1. A large mass of land under the control of the great Khan/Mongolian empire.

2. A contemporary doom metal band consisting of former members of OLD, Burning Witch, Thorr's Hammer, and Blind Idiot God and current members of (among others) Sunn0))). Possibly one of the slowest, loudest, and creepiest doom metal bands ever, especially since much of the music is coupled with bass player James Plotkin's fantastic sequencing work.
Khanate is the loudest band I have ever seen; the entire room was vibrating through their set.
