An ambient/garage/2step/dubstep (or whatever dozen sub-genres you can think of) producer from the United Kingdom, who after choosing to remain anonymous identified himself as William Bevan.

Iconic for his very urban, unclean, melancholy sounds and clunky, rigid drum beats, Burial is a very defining figure in his own self-defined genre of dubstep, influencing a whole score of other artists since the release of his genre-defining debut "Burial", and the more accessible second release "Untrue".

Burial has two studio albums and nine EPs, with his first two meeting very positive critical acclaim, a pattern which has only followed through with the many small extended plays he has released from then until now. Untrue, (2007) received no lower than an 8/10 from over ten reviewers, and even a solid A from the so-called "Dean of American Rock Critics" Robert Christgau and a 90/100 rating from Metacritic (based upon 23 reviews).
Though the drums he uses are sometimes an acquired taste, Burial truly is a very influential and talented figure within the alternative electronic music and dubstep industry.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
