Dark Passenger

 Hello Dark Passengers,      Have you ever seen a commercial that's just so ridiculous, but still gets their point across? Of course you have! They're everywhere! The Mayhem Allstate commercials are a great example of this. They use humor to entertain the viewer while also giving a real example of something that might happen to you, further enticing you to want to partner with them for your car insurance.       Image source     The advertisement opens with our main character announcing that he is a bear. Now, we obviously know he isn't actually a bear, this gives us the insight that he will be acting like a bear. Which is further proven by the fact that he is holding a fish, as we know those are a regular in a bear's diet. He then walks up to a car in the woods, presumably owned by a family who's camping, and slams his arms against the car and after a few seconds of looking in the car, he pulls the door off with ease. We are all aware th...

 Hello Dark Passengers,      Motionless In White (MIW) has had remarkable success on their last album cycle. The album Scoring the End of the World set records for themselves, like with their song Masterpiece , which was not only the bands first song to reach the top 10, but was also their first song to reach number now of the rock radio charts as well. This album also allowed them to headline their tour, cleverly named Touring the End of the World , not just in the United States, but in Europe and the United Kingdom as well. With this album cycle coming to an end, fans are left to wonder, what's next for the band? Image Source     Although the album cycle has come to an end, the band still has many shows planned for the year. They'll be at festivals such as the Sonic Temple festival, Rockville festival, Hellfest, Louder than Life festival, Aftershock festival, and When We Were Young  festival. They'll also be opening for Bring Me the Horizon on their...

 Hello Dark Passengers,  Image source     There's one specific herb we all know well. The one we find in countless different places, but the same feeling we get from it is all the same. We as humans can't seem to get enough of it. One thing we use it in specifically is arguably when people recognize it the most.     Imagine: in a small metal tin, these small, pill-sized tablets are stored in, with a thin sheet of paper separating the small objects from the tin itself. As soon as you open the tin, the aroma hits you. It's such a potent scent. It almost feels like the scent opened up your nostrils a bit more. It feels cool.  Then, you pick one of the hard little tablets out of the tin. They're dry, even having a small powder-like substance of the outside of them. Then, as you put the tablet in your mouth, that cool feeling you felt in your nose before, instantly floods throughout your month and throat, sometimes even making your breathing feel a bit cold...

 Hello Dark Passengers,      As I'm sure many of us have heard, Schecter Guitar Research have already dropped a handful of guitars this year. And honestly, they're making the rest of the year look very promising. This could be the best year  for guitars from Schecter yet!     The Red Dawn series, arguably the most versatile from this year so far, took many of us by surprise. This guitar comes in five different models. The standard scale length 6-string with the sting-through body and bridge, the standard scale length 6-string with an evertune bridge, the baritone 6-string with an  evertune bridge, the 7-string with the string through body and bridge, and finally, the 7-sting with an evertune bridge. All models come in a glass black finish, giving them a sleek look. Featuring red accents such as: the binding all the way around the body, neck and head; red Fishman pickups, red-topped push-pull master volume knob, red 5-way switch, red fret in-l...

      Everyone at some point in their lives has connected to music. Whether it's a song they listen to, a band or artist they admire, or if they actually play the music themselves. Music is so versatile that it helps countless people  everyday. I find playing the music myself to be more cathartic than just listening to it though.       Drumming has been a huge outlet for me. It can push you through certain emotions instead of just sitting with it. If I'm mad, there's nothing more satisfying than banging on drums and letting that aggression out. And if I'm sad, I can play a slower song. It forces you to concentrate on what you're doing  while also letting your feelings out. If you're happy and feeling good, you can play happy songs. The possibilities are endless.  Image source     This doesn't just apply to drumming though. This outlet can apply to any instrument. Or really anything that helps you push those feelings out. Drummi...

      Odds are you see a blog every time you open a search engine. Many news stations, personal update websites, and some social media platforms are all considered blogs.  Almost everyone reads a blog or has a favorite blog, and they might not even realize it!     Billboard , best known for their role in the music industry, is considered a blog. Music lovers all around, myself included, go to Billboard to see what's happening in the music world. They show this with their, "Top 10," style lists, both potentially being opinion or analytical based lists. For Example, their Billboard Hot 100 list is based on their number of streams. sales, radio play, and downloads. However, their list for The 14 Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows is clearly opinion based. Although they definitely lean toward having a more professional tone and style of wring, seeing as their writing feels like it's speaking to a wide audience, rather than the reader itself, they're still co...
