Appreciating the Doom in Death Metal | Guest Written by Justin Adeyanju Who has ever heard the crashing and smashing lyrics of 90s classic death metal artists like artists like Morbid Angel, Deicide, Immortal, Obituary, and Cannibal Corpse? While unfamiliar to most of today’s pop culture generation, the 90s death metal bands continue to play a vital role in shaping many individual’s personalities and day-to-day characteristics. There is much to appreciate in both the music and the style of these classic death metal bands. As well as the legacies they have left. Photo by Sebastian Ervi on Although many bands’ deathly emphasis on the morbid and grotesque elements of life can seem overbearing if you strictly choose to examine the thematic content of the lyrics, this is irrelevant for most die-hard listeners. The humble acknowledgment for other side of the grave is also shared in countries like Mexico for Dia De Los Muertos and India and Nepal with the concept of reincarnation rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism. The human experience of morbidity is common across all cultures and countries, whether you are a fan of fiercely deep music, or not. As a fan, it is important to take in all the artistic elements of the band, including appreciating thematic tones, symbolic and elemental variations of style, and the band’s consistency to create a real-world for the listener to immerse and appreciate. The work it takes behind not only creating the mystical world that the music can thrive. Also the style and appropriate content that coincides with the world is often underappreciated by those who may choose to walk in more conventional styles of life like classic rock and roll, Hip Hop, Country, or Jazz. Death metal seems to me to be a way to acknowledge and pay respect to the most extreme forms of behaviour on the earth in a non-provoking yet serious manner. It allows one to recognize the power and brutal strength that a death has upon someone, including the power to flip one’s life upside down. Death Metal gives you the responsibility of dealing with the woes and agony of the side of life that we take for granted on the other side of the grave without having to go through these physically. It is almost serene that one can take the side of despair and turn it into a way to calm oneself and find inner peace melodically. Photo by Kelly on I personally believe there is a deeper connection that is bridged between individuals who have their interests merged at the heart of death metal appreciation. Something that says to them, despite anything that is going on that seems to be here on this Earth, we can appreciate anything and about everything if we can both jam out to this music. Death metal is like an acquired taste of fine wine; you must sit ever so slowly and fully take in every sound bite to really get the hang of it. It does get better.

The new year’s dawn brings a powerful song as Northern Canadian roots-rocker Adrian Sutherland releases the music video for his latest single, “Precious.” I highly suggest you give it a listen; it’s fantastic. “Precious” By Adrian Sutherland Adrian Sutherland – Precious (Official Music Video) The musicians on the track include Adrian Sutherland on vocals and acoustic guitar, Colin Linden on acoustic, electric, and resonator guitars, John Dymond on bass, and Gary Craig on drums. Their collaboration crafts a sound rooted in Northern Canadian heritage yet universally resonant. “Precious” blends rock, roots, folk, and blues into a gorgeously smooth song. “Precious was inspired by soulful Black music that came out of the South. It comes from a place of being oppressed – something that Indigenous Peoples and People of Colour understand all too well. It’s an ode to the age-old fight for freedoms and rights that is happening all over the world. The song also pays homage to Mother Earth and her land protectors in its declaration, “This land is precious.” It features a solid backbeat and pow-wow singing, creating an anthem-like feel throughout,” explains the description. “Precious” Music Video Is A Beautiful Visual Treat Adrian Sutherland kicks off 2024 with a visual masterpiece in the form of the music video for “Precious.” The video, shot in Winnipeg in October, features four youth dancers, three Adrians, two locations, and one black jeep, creating a contemporary throwback reminiscent of Alanis Morrissette’s iconic “Ironic” video. And yes, this is a great time to check out that music video from 1996. Adrian’s life is multifaceted, with various roles and identities that he embodies.

As a family man, he is a loving and devoted husband and father, committed to nurturing and supporting his loved ones. The song “Precious” captures these different aspects of Adrian’s life, each distinct and unique. With its driving beat, the song perfectly matches pow-wow, a celebration of life, culture, and community. The mesmerizing performances by the Summer Bear Dance Troupe add to the magic of the song, symbolizing the next generation, the cycle of life, and the hope for a better tomorrow. The Summer Bear Dance Troupe is a group of young Indigenous performers who represent the future, the next generation of stewards of the land. Their dance is a powerful expression of their connection to the earth and commitment to preserving it for future generations. Their performance reminds us of the importance of protecting our planet and our communities. Overall, “Precious” is a celebration of life and the different roles that we play in it.

Did you know that Nicki Minaj was In Steven Universe?? Nicki Minaj as Sugilite From Steven Universe Let’s start with an introduction to Steven Universe. Steven Universe is a beloved animated series created by the visionary Rebecca Sugar. The show has captured the hearts of audiences of all ages. It has left an undeniable mark on animation since it aired on Cartoon Network in 2013. This cartoon seamlessly weaves elements of fantasy, science fiction, and coming-of-age storytelling into an utterly unique narrative. Steven Universe Fandom Steven Universe is a profoundly beautiful and emotional cartoon first released in 2013. It spanned six seasons and 155 episodes, concluding on January 6, 2019. Through that time, the show has received 13 prestigious awards and has been nominated for many others. Additionally, it boasts an impressive roster of voice actors, including Estelle, Matthew Moy, Kate Micucci, Brian Posehn, Sinbad, Natasha Lyonne, Adam DeVine, Joan Jett, Uzo Aduba, Charlyne Yi, Shoniqua Shandai, and even Nicki Minaj, further adding to its allure and cultural impact. Nicki Minaj: The Queen of Rap Who is Nicki Minaj? Nicki Minaj, born Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, is a rapper, singer, and songwriter from Trinidad and Tobago. She is a sensation in the music industry because of her unique style, amazing lyrics, and animated flow, earning her the title of the “Queen of Rap.” Pink Friday 2 Nicki Minaj’s career is decorated with a remarkable collection of accolades. She has won numerous awards, including nine American Music Awards, twelve BET Awards, eight BET Hip Hop Awards, and four Billboard Music Awards. Her remarkable achievements also extend to the Grammy Awards, where she has received ten nominations, starting with her first in 2010 for “Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group” for “My Chick Bad” with Ludacris. Minaj’s journey is remarkable from releasing mixtapes in the late 2000s to becoming a record-breaking and award-winning artist. Nicki Minaj as Sugilite In the popular animated series Steven Universe, a famous rap artist, Nicki Minaj, played the role of Sugilite, one of the show’s most potent and formidable antagonists. Sugilite is a fusion of two gems, Amethyst and Garnet, which ultimately includes Ruby and Sapphire. Sugilite debuted in the iconic episode “Coach Steven,” aired on Cartoon Network on Cartoon Network on August 21, 2014. The episode was initially screened at San Diego Comic-Con, receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from fans. Sugilite is a unique character in the show, being the first fusion of three different Gem types: Quartz, a Ruby, and Sapphire. Her debut episode, “Coach Steven,” drew significant attention and garnered substantial viewership, making it a memorable moment in the series’ history. The episode displayed the show’s teamwork, perseverance, and self-improvement themes and solidified its place as one of the most beloved animated series of all time. Sugilite Stats From Steven Universe Success in the Role of Sugilite Nicki Minaj’s casting as the voice of Sugilite was a brilliant choice, considering her illustrious career and musical influence. The rapper, singer, and songwriter has received many awards and accolades in the music industry, highlighting her immense talent and versatility. Her success in the music world, which includes many awards and record-breaking achievements, attests to her ability to capture audiences and leave a lasting impact, making her an ideal candidate for a character like Sugilite. Minaj’s vocal prowess and charismatic performances earned her the perfect choice to bring Sugilite to life—a character brimming with immense power and unpredictability. Her cameo appearance in “Steven Universe” was nothing short of excellent. Known for her fierce and fearless public persona, Nicki Minaj effortlessly channelled that badass mentality into the character of Sugilite. As Decider aptly put it,” Nicki Minaj didn’t become a household name by being a sweet star we can prop on a pedestal. No, through her rap and public persona, she crafted a fierce warrior of a rap goddess and made us love her because of her fearlessness. Sugilite may be a bit taller than Minaj, but she captures the star’s middle-fingers-to-the-sky mentality wonderfully and does it with Minaj’s laugh.” Nicki Minaj – Feb. 2022 Her impressive musical prowess and ability to seamlessly merge her energy and character into her music made her the perfect choice for voicing Sugilite, whose complexity and dynamism mirrored her own. This creative collaboration between music and animation displayed the magic that can happen when two art forms unite. Steven Episodes Starring Sugilite Nicki Minaj’s portrayal of Sugilite in Steven Universe extends beyond her notable speaking role in the episode “Coach Steven.” She has only made a few appearances in the series. Despite that, these instances contribute to the character’s unique presence and prove her versatility. Within the episode “Coach Steven,” the Crystal Gems are trying to destroy a malfunctioning antenna at the ancient Gem Communication Hub. Garnet and Amethyst fuse to become Sugilite. However, Pearl, another Gem, is concerned about the fusion’s instability, jealousy, and feelings of inadequacy. Sugilite is powerful but reckless, causing chaos and injuring Steven. The episode explores themes of power, responsibility, and consequences. This storyline offers insights into the complex relationships and emotions that define the series. In the episode “Cry for Help,” Sugilite returns in a non-speaking role. Garnet learns that Pearl has repeatedly repaired the Communication Hub to fuse with her into Sardonyx. After that, Garnet decides it is time to destroy the hub for the last time. She commands Amethyst to fuse with her, resulting in the formation of Sugilite. Then Sugilite plays a significant role in this episode as she uses a wind-up punch to obliterate the Communication Hub with a single hit. It also strengthens how jealousy and miscommunication can lead to unhealthy and regrettable actions. Additionally, Sugilite appears in “Know Your Fusion” during a segment on Sardonyx Tonight. A replica of Sugilite’s flail is used in a machine, with Sugilite’s voice taunting the users if they fail to strike it with enough force. This episode also features a meta-reference to Nicki Minaj’s role as Sugilite. Sardonyx humorously questions whether the voice actor for Sugilite needs to be paid despite not recording any new lines for the fusion. Finally, in the episode “Snow Day,” Sugilite returns briefly when Garnet and Amethyst shapeshift into Steven and fuse into Sugilite, who is also shapeshifted into Steven. This transformation is part of a playful “Steven Tag” game to catch Steven. Following this active fusion, Garnet and Pearl fuse into Steven-formed Sardonyx. Sugilite as Steven in Steven Tag Sugilite only shows up in 4 episodes; why is that? Why Didn’t Nicki Minaj Sing in Steven Universe? Or At Least More Speaking Roles? This is a question everyone is asking all over Reddit, Quora, Twitter, and everywhere. Even Cecilia Mazumdar Stanger of the Minnesota Daily wrote that she initially found the episode disappointing. This is mainly because guest star Nicki Minaj did not participate in the episode’s song. “Coach Steve” features the song “Strong in the Real Way,” sung by Deedee Magno Hall (as Pearl) and Zach Callison (as Steven), written and composed by Rebecca Sugar. She explains, “Frankly, I was a little disappointed. The episode was dominated by a scene that is a combination of a workout montage and a ballad straight out of a musical theatre production. With the amount of singing in the episode, it was strange that the “Universe” team didn’t utilize Minaj’s vocal chops.” She makes a good point. Although Nicki Minaj is a fantastic musician and vocalist, she did not participate in the episode song. Her addition to the music, or even a song for the episode, would have been fantastic. There are a lot of different theories, but neither Cartoon Network nor Nicki Minaj have commented on it. The only hint we have is the tongue-in-cheek mention of Sugilite’s voice actor in a “Know Your Fusion” during a segment on Sardonyx Tonight. In a particular show episode, Sardonyx breaks the fourth wall several times. That is the biggest hint that the lack of repeat episodes with Sugilite is probably financially based. Nicki Minaj’s limited involvement in the Steven Universe series and her absence from singing roles throughout the show can be attributed to financial and time constraints. Although she made a significant impact with her role as Sugilite, her subsequent appearances were notably less frequent and often without speaking lines. Conclusion Nicki Minaj’s performance as Sugilite in Steven Universe was a captivating addition to the show. Her portrayal of Sugilite brought a unique and powerful energy to the character, aligning well with the character’s larger-than-life presence. Although Nicki Minaj did not sing in the series, her voice acting was impactful, and she effectively conveyed Sugilite’s formidable and unpredictable nature. Overall, Nicki Minaj’s performance as Sugilite was a successful and fitting choice, contributing to the overall appeal and depth of “Steven Universe.” Her iconic style and vocal talents brought Sugilite to life, which enhanced its impact within the show’s rich storytelling.

Are you a fan of the “Star Wars” franchise? Do you remember the lovable and furry creatures from “Return of the Jedi,” known as the Ewoks? Remember the “Ewoks” cartoon from 1985? This animated series, which spun off from the “Star Wars” franchise, ran for two seasons and captured the hearts of many fans. Grab some popcorn and dive into the charming world of the Ewoks. Capturing Endor’s Spirit in Song What can you say about the Ewok cartoon that the theme song does not already say? The song featured in the “Ewoks” cartoon speaks of friendship, love, and adventure in a way only a 1980s cartoon theme song can. One of the most impressive things about the show was its ability to capture the essence of the forest moon of Endor, which is free-loving, peaceful, and full of friendship. It beautifully depicts the lush, vibrant landscapes and the mystical aura of the Ewok village. The animation takes viewers to a galaxy far, far away with each episode. We must discuss the theme song first, as it is your first experience. If you have heard the music, you understand why. “Ewok Cartoon Theme Song” By Taj Mahal and Inshirah Mahal The theme song, accompanied by cheerful instrumentation and joyful vocals, captures the show’s essence. It celebrates the values of friendship, bravery, and the thrill of exploration in a galaxy far, far away. Every time I heard that jingle, it made me giggle. Taj Mahal and Inshirah Mahal wrote and performed the first season’s theme song. “Friends Together, Friends Forever” By Patrick Gleeson. The first season of a particular show had an iconic theme song, and it’s hard to top that. The second season’s theme song was equally adorable, sweet, and energetic as any other 80’s cartoon. However, the following season, which is promoted as “The All-New Ewoks,” has episodes shortened to an 11-minute format, with two segments per half-hour (except for “The Raich,” “Night of the Stranger,” “The Season Scepter,” and “Battle for the Sunstar”). This season also features a new theme song, “Friends Together, Friends Forever,” written and performed by Patrick Gleeson. Heartwarming Characters and Harrowing Chases So, What Is This Sci-Fi Fantasy Cartoon About? The “Ewoks” animated TV series centers around the adventures of Wicket W. Warrick and all the Ewoks on the forest moon of Endor before the events of the original Star Wars film and Caravan of Courage. The show features various endearing characters, each with their distinct personalities. Led by Wicket, they all play a vital role in the adventures that unfold. The show was produced by Nelvana on behalf of Lucasfilm Ltd. and aired from 1985 to 1986 on ABC. The first season was advertised as simply “Ewoks” and aired as part of the “Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour,” while the second was advertised as “The All New Ewoks.” The primary recurring villains in the show are Morag, the Tulgah Witch, who holds a personal grudge against Master Logray, and the Duloks, a rival species. The series follows the friend’s efforts to protect their village from these enemies. The show explores various themes, such as friendship, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil. Through their adventures, the characters learn valuable lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and standing up for what is right. The show’s exploration of such timeless themes gives it depth and meaning beyond being a fun cartoon. Adding to the Star Wars Franchise “The All-New Ewoks” was a beloved cartoon series aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Many viewers considered it an extension of the Ewok Movies franchise due to its captivating story, lovable characters, and timeless themes. However, some critics were less impressed, with David Perlmutter describing it as “unremarkable both technically and creatively” and Screen Rant comparing it unfavourably to other cartoons of the time, such as “The Smurfs,” “Snorks,” or “Care Bears.” Despite the mixed reviews, the show remained popular with children and fans of the “Star Wars” franchise. The first season was particularly well-received for its complex storylines and well-developed characters. However, the second season had a more simplified writing and visual style. While some fans were disappointed with the changes, the series continued to attract a loyal following. Overall, “The All-New Ewoks” holds a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide, just like countless other cartoons of the 80s. While some may view it as a marketing ploy for Lucasfilm to sell toys and action figures, some surprisingly entertaining episodes still appealed to both parents and kids, such as the penultimate episode, “Battle for the Sunstar.” Exciting Adventures, But Are The Ewoks Cartoons Canon? The “Ewoks” cartoon was a popular show with a whimsical tone and adorable characters. However, it also had its fair share of excitement and adventure. The Ewoks, particularly Wicket and his friends, fought against the villainous Duloks and thwarted the schemes of the nefarious Morag, the Tulgah Witch. Each episode was filled with pulse-pounding action and suspense, from exploring mysterious ruins to facing off against giant creatures. Interestingly, the show was initially intended to be a prequel to the Ewok movies “Caravan of Courage” and “Endor.” However, it was later revealed that the series took place after the events of these films. Despite this change in timeline, the show remained a favourite among children and “Star Wars” fans. Photograph taken by El Fedora The main issue with the series’ storyline is the use of magic, disregarding the Star Wars universe’s force and overall lore. Only one episode shows anyone outside of Endor, and there is no representation of the Empire, spaceships, or science-fiction elements. Instead, the show focuses on action-style cartoons. It uses a particular colour scheme resembling fantasy furry cartoons from that time, such as “She-Ra Princess of Power,”” “The Care Bears,”” and “Bugs Bunny.”” This makes it more appropriate for a younger audience than the other Star Wars or Ewok films. It’s unusual considering that the show’s sister series, Droids, aired within the same timeslot and shared the same stylistic and plot universe as the other Star Wars productions. With this continuity and plot line difference, it’s more believable that the Ewok cartoon belonged to the My Little Pony universe rather than the Star Wars franchise. Maybe it was a way to appeal to young girls – but why not use the force? Adding the force to the Ewok cartoon would have been so fantastic. Imagine Teebo using the force to combine potions in the air. Imagine Wickett using the force to help him pass the warrior test. It would be wicked! (Pun intended). But The Beauty of It Is That It Doesn’t Matter. The Star Wars universe has undergone some changes. When The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, the Expanded Universe was rebranded as ‘Legends.’ Currently, ‘canon’ refers only to movies and TV series developed and produced by George Lucas himself. This canon list includes the prominent films and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Additionally, it incorporates any content that Lucasfilm created after the acquisition, such as the Sequel Trilogy, novels, comics, toys, and video games. Last Thoughts: Nostalgia in the Ewoks Cartoon The “Ewoks” cartoon is a tribute to the timeless enchantment of the “Star Wars” universe. It is a nostalgic show that spans generations, offering sweet animations and uniquely fantastic music. Looking back at this beloved series and its theme song, we are reminded of the potency of imagination and the pleasure of embarking on adventures in a galaxy far, far away. In conclusion, “Ewoks” is a testament to the enduring magic of “Star Wars.”

International Trombone Week, organized by the International Trombone Association (ITA), takes place annually from April 7th to April 14th, with surrounding weeks considered part of the celebration. This event provides a unique opportunity to delve into the appreciation of the trombone, its rich history, and its indispensable contribution to the world of music. Exploring The Trombone Originating in the late Renaissance era, the trombone has evolved into a crucial instrument in various musical genres, including orchestras, jazz ensembles, and contemporary music.

Understanding the differences between the trombone and the trumpet is essential before we begin the celebration. Although both are brass instruments, the trombone is more prominent and has an extendable slide that allows for a broader range of sounds. On the other hand, the trumpet produces higher-pitched melodies in orchestras and can also be used for solos in jazz bands. As a member of the brass family, the trombone has a lower range than the trumpet. Round, deep, and full sounds like the three-quarter upright bass characterize its tonality. The trombone modifies pitch using a telescoping slide mechanism, producing a distinct tonal depth that enhances the musical landscape.

The catchy beat and positive lyrics have made it a fan favourite and one of Beyoncé’s most popular songs. Curiosity Piqued Take a moment to compare the two tracks. Give them a listen: “Texas Hold Em” By Beyonce The Franklin Theme Song by Canadian Musician Bruce Cockburn Let us start by saying that they sound similar. The opening notes of “Texas Hold’ Em” may trigger fond memories of watching “Franklin.” Beyoncé’s smooth vocals glide over a groovy beat, reminiscent of the catchy refrain, “Hey, it’s Franklin.” However, before jumping to conclusions about copyright infringement, let us delve into the musical intricacies. Exploring Similarities: “Texas Hold Em” And The “Franklin” Theme Song How Similar Are These Songs? Both songs belong to the R&B and soul genres, characterized by smooth melodies and infectious hooks. The similarity between “Texas Hold’ Em” and the “Franklin” theme song is due to shared stylistic choices inherent in these genres. Artists often draw inspiration from various sources, consciously or subconsciously, enriching their creations. In pop culture, unexpected connections often emerge, seamlessly merging diverse elements. Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold’ Em” echoes this sentiment, drawing nostalgic parallels to the beloved “Franklin” theme song. However, it is essential to clarify that these similarities stem from musical style and technique, not legal issues. While debates exist about their similarities, it is crucial to understand that these resemblances arise from musical style and technique. Musicologist Claire McLeish from Third Side Music, a Montreal-based music publishing company, explains why these two tracks sound alike. She discusses the specifics with CBC. Both songs utilize distinct fingerpicking styles—Franklin’s theme features Travis picking, while “Texas Hold’ Em” employs a Clawhammer banjo. Moreover, they share the same key (D) and similar instrument tunings. These similarities, discernible to those with relative pitch, highlight the common threads in folk and country music. What Is the Show, Franklin? Allow me to provide more details about “Franklin” for those who may not be familiar with it. “Franklin” is a delightful Canadian animated series that follows the life of a young turtle named Franklin.

How did you start your journey to becoming a life coach, and coaching utilizing music? I started my journey as a life coach in 2015. I would say that I am a part-time coach, as I have had many different work experiences. Your background is quite diverse, with a master’s degree in philosophy and experience in various fields. How do these different aspects of your life contribute to your coaching approach? My very diverse background enables me to work with many different types of people. I tend to focus now on clients who have a substantial background themselves. I am currently less focusing on coaching as an activity and more as a writer publishing articles on personal development. Can you share some insights into the type of clients you work with? My clients are usually graduates. They are at a crossroads in their life, where they have reached a certain level of success, but they do not know how and for what precise reasons they should continue what they are doing. Some are wondering what to change in their life. A lot of my clients are questioning themselves about change in their everyday lives, short-term and long-term. I usually help them re-center on their core being. In what ways have you used music to help your clients overcome challenges and navigate their path toward success? Can you provide specific examples or success stories? I have used music with my clients to help them focus on their true desires. I once helped a renowned financial advisor who loved personal development. After the end of the coaching I provided, he wrote me an email in which he expressed his gratitude for the acute help brought about by the coaching. My work helped him to know himself better. He had a much clearer vision of his personality and existence. Are there specific genres or pieces of music that you often recommend to your clients during coaching sessions utilizing music? Yes. I often recommend relaxation music, binaural beats, frequencies, and sometimes spiritual music such as mantra singing. How do you personalize musical suggestions to individual needs and goals? I take into account their personality and their most urgent needs and goals. If the person is very anxious, I recommend relaxing music and singing mantras. In your personal life, how does music play a role in maintaining your balance and focus? Are there specific music rituals or practices that you follow? I rarely, if ever, listen to dark or violent music. I am very careful about what type of music I listen to. In general, I like to sing. I sometimes sing jazz, gospel, and spiritual music and particularly enjoy singing mantras. What are your all-time favourite tunes, and how have they impacted your life or coaching style? I especially like infinite hertz music. It operates an immediate cleansing of the brain and immediate relaxation that is extremely efficient, especially if you work with the law of attraction or the art of manifesting. This type of music is extremely helpful and has greatly impacted both my life and my coaching style. It opens the doors of perception, so personal growth work is made much easier. For the readers of Switching Styles seeking to improve their lives, what advice do you have on incorporating music into their journeys and pursuing personal and professional success? Be careful and choose wisely the music you are listening to. It has deep effects on your body, mind, and spirit. Choose your music according to your goals. There is a lot of music for meditation, for example. This state of meditation will help you gain many skills that are essential on your path to personal and professional success. Is there anything else you want to add that I haven’t asked about? Expressing yourself is as important as listening or absorbing personal development tools such as music. That is why I recommend singing spiritual music, or music in general, or writing songs.
