Symphonic Black metal band from Yorkshire, England formed by vocalist Byron Roberts.

Bal-Sagoth put together their first demo in 1993 have since then released six other albums. A Black Moon Broods over Lemuria, Starfire Burning Upon The Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule, Battle Magic, The Power cosmic, Atlantis Ascendant, and The Chtonic Chronicles.

Byron Roberts was influenced by such novelists as Robert E. Howard, H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Jack Kirby.

It's no suprise at all that Bal-Sagoth can compose such content with Byron Robert's background in midieval reinactment and degree in English.

However, what makes Bal-Sagoth truly unique is how they use narrative voice overs throughout their songs, and alot of the lyrics are composed of dialogue.

Bal-Sagoth's first album "A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria" had more of a death metal sound to it, however over the years they've developed a more symphonic black sound.

Based off of alot of ancient legends and tales Bal-Sagoth takes you into a world of sorcery and steel, magic and mayhem. Ranging from Atlantis to Egypt with their Atlantis Ascendant album, even to the very edge of the cosmos itself with The Power Cosmic album released in 1999.

Recently Byron Roberts has mentioned doing some comic books, and possibly a novel.

Bal-Sagoth is unique, there are no examples.

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

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."
