A sudden death of a band member (usually the lead singer) that leads to the band's permanent break up. They will decide that the member that died was irreplaceable and thus cannot go on.
Please note that there are plenty of bands, like the Rolling Stones, that carried on after the loss of a bandmate. Sometimes the surviving members form a new band, like how the surviving members of Joy Division reformed as New Order when Ian Curtis killed himself.
Queen didn't disband when Freddie Mercury passed away and John Deacon left, they just changed as a band.
The Doors was kinda this because they released two shitty albums after Jim Morrison died.

A heroic sacrifice. Whenever a person (usually fictional) either holds off or tries to take down an overwhelming amount of enemies, almost always at the expense of their life.

A subgenre of dark techno that is more intense and has stronger instrumentals. Like death metal, it is often more guttural at parts of it, however the gutturality is most often expressed in the instrumentals, rather than the vocals. Like dark techno, death techno is more of a vibe than a defined category and as such, what fits in the subgenre is often subjective.

When you have a habit that is clearly bad for your health, but it gives so much happiness...pure joy and bliss, that you just stick with it anyway.
After a life of struggling through sleepless nights, Jane discovered cognac. Now when she wakes in the night, sipping some cognac makes her tickle, giggle, then fall back into a blissful sleep. She know it's unhealthy in the long term, but it's pure joy every single night. She's willing to accept death by bliss.
