Serum Dreg kick off "Death Ritual" by screeching "FUCKING DEATH RITUAL!" over a bunch of guitar squealing. There's a song called "Blasphemic Black Death Noise” and the record is titled Lustful Vengeance. As you might have guessed, Serum Dreg is crusty, blackened, deadly, and deeply, unabashedly goofy. Though the Portland duo is certainly not tongue-in-cheek, there's no doubt that their debut record is ridiculously fun. Lustful Vengeance is a no-frills throwback to black metal's heyday and a record
Ambition in Macbeth A key issue involved in Macbeth is ambition. Ambition is created when determination gets out of hand. It finds its most significant expressions in the plays two main characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

The Inner Self in The Awakening, Wuthering Heights, and Fences Does turmoil in people promote chaos in the world, or does chaos in the world create turmoil in people? To uncover a single answer to such a question is impossible. Therefore, those who seek a solution find themselves at a stalemate, and the query posed becomes rhetorical. Nevertheless, it initiates another inquiry worth thought and reflection: since the chaotic world is already well established, whether or not a product of

The universal theme in each of these advertisements is mayhem, varying in circumstance but ultimately reflecting a sort of chaotic event. While exploring particular advertisements within the Allstate campaign, it is important to notice how they effectively draw in viewers that are possibly in need of car insurance
Identity is the foundation of individualism, but it can be hard to find. Some people travel the world to find out what their role in it is, and some people play sports or beat each other up in a parking lot.
