		<description>Sufficiently divergent indeed.


Compare and contrast the following:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgcDlqwxhl4  (Second wave black metal.  Probably the most famous black metal song EVER.  Note what the song is about MUSICALLY: brutal, pounding riffs.  Lo-fi.  A lack of emphasis on technical skill and more on the emotion, a similarity it has with punk.    The guitar solo here is actually really unusual.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bFRE0Jmk0M  (Death metal is called death metal because of the band Death.  This is Death.  While the genre has gone into many directions (from Gorod to Cannibal Corpse), a very complicated and technically difficult theme remains.   I am really into death metal though, and can talk about it all day, and I have a half-written first draft of a paper due in about 3 hours so I am not going to.)


HOW TO TELL BLACK METAL AND DEATH METAL APART, for dummies:
*Exceptions exist to all of these.  Plenty of them.
1) Black metal vocals are high, death metal vocals are low. 
2) Black metal is low-fi.  Death metal is not.
3) Death metal is complicated, musically.  Black metal is not.
4) Black metal is much more counter-culture in real life.  Mayhem is famous because Varg murdered Eponymous (the guitarist) for being &#039;incompetent.&#039;    Then starting his own project (Burzum).</description>

		<description>Saint of Asteroid Impacts
If you annoy me, BAM there goes your house.
Make me actually angry, WHAM there goes your whole town.
Really piss me off? Well, lets just say the last T-Rex I talked to left me in a really bad mood.</description>

		<description>Being Jewish doesn&#039;t exactly disqualify you. Paul and the Apostles were all Jewish, and all but Judas were canonized.</description>
