Blackened Death Metal 

Blackened Death Metal is a subgenre of metal music that combines elements (ideological or otherwise) of black metal and death metal. Blackened Death is usually confused with black which is understandable however there is a noticeable difference between black and blackened death. Blackened death metal may commonly utilize lower tuning than used in conventional black metal however still uses the trademark alternatively picked minor chords. You really could think about it as black metal with more bass or lower pitched black metal. Blackened death is also usually far more satanic in lyrics and imagery than standard death metal and it is also a little more thrashy. Blackened death metal is an excellent hybrid genre because it combines the most evil with the strongest and puts it into one animal, so to speak, resulting in the most serious possible music that everyone would find either scary or badass with no amusement whatsoever.
Belphegor and Behemoth are some of the most prominent Blackened Death metal bands.

There needs to be more Blackened death bands out there.

Ritchie Blackmore 

The arsiest man in rock!

The "Bastard in Black"!

Ritchie Blackmore is the amazing former Deep Purple guitarist best known for his awesome riffs like "Smoke On The Water", "Black Night" and "Burn". He's famous for being a bit temperamental (or sometimes just plain mental with a hot temper)...

Blackmore quit Deep Purple in the mid 70's to start a new heavy rock band called "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" with future Black Sabbath vocalist Ronnie James Dio. The name was later shortened to "Blackmore's Rainbow" and then just plain "Rainbow".

The original Rainbow bass player, keyboard player and drummer were soon replaced by Jimmy Bain (formerly of Street Noise and Harlot), Tony Carey (formerly of Blessings) and Cozy Powell (of everyone else). This is probably the most popular Rainbow lineup.

Ritchie Blackmore now plays guitar (NOT lute!) with Blackmore's Night.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
