Black metal[1] 

is an extreme heavy metal subgenre. It is typically characterized  by the use of heavily-distorted guitars, high-pitched shrieking vocals, fast-paced rhythms and melodies, and unconventional song structures.

The first bands to pioneer the style were mostly thrash metal bands that formed the prototype for black metal; they are referred to collectively as the First Wave, and consist of a few bands, such as Venom and Bathory. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a Second Wave emerged in Norway, including prominent bands like Mayhem and Darkthrone. Although there is no well-defined Third Wave, modern black metal bands have incorporated new musical and lyrical trends into their music.

Black metal has been met with considerable hostility from mainstream culture, mainly because of the misanthropic and anti-Judeo-Christian attitude of many bands. This iconoclastic ideology is typical of black metal bands. Additionally, a few black metal bands have been known to have associations with church burnings, murder, and National Socialism. Black metal is generally seen as an underground form of music, in part because it does not appeal to mainstream tastes and because its musicians often choose to remain obscure.

In 2007 the label's subimprint Italians Do It Better released After Dark, a compilation of Italo disco-inspired music (much of it produced by Glass Candy's Johnny Jewel).[2][3]

Techno artists and DJs are now assimilating dubstep into their sets and productions. Shackleton's Blood on my hands was remixed by Minimal techno superstar Ricardo Villalobos (who has also included Dubstep tracks in his sets)[4] and included on a mix CD by Panoramabar resident Cassy. Ellen Allien and Apparat's 2006 song "Metric" (from the Orchestra of Bubbles album)[5][6] and Roman Flugel's remix of Riton's "Hammer of Thor" are other examples of dubstep-influenced techno. Berlin's influential[7] Hard Wax record store (owned by Basic Channel)[8][9] has also championed Shackleton's Skull Disco label, later broadening its focus to include other dubstep releases. Techno has influenced dubstep as well; Skream has stated in an interview that he believed the dubstep and minimal techno scenes were merging,[10] while music journalist Martin Clark has seen the Basic Channel influence that has long been present in dubstep recently evolving towards a more direct exchange of ideas. Dubstep musicians who have been influenced by Basic Channel and other techno artists include El-B, Kode9, and the Skull Disco artists.[11] Some critics have also compared Burial's music to Basic Channel and Pole.[12][13]




Los Crudos was a Chicago-based[14] hardcore punk band[14] prominent during the 1990's.

The band formed in the early 90s, first performing in Pilsen,[14] where they lived.[15] All four members of the band were Latino, and thus they chose to sing almost all of their songs in Spanish. In addition, the band was extremely political; its lyrics often commenting on cultural and socio-economic difficulties inherent in the American way of life.

Los Crudos incorporated DIY ethics into every aspect of the band including promoting and organizing shows, producing records, distribution, and so on. They toured Mexico, South America, Europe, and Japan, as well as touring the US many times.[16] The band's recordings were released on independent record labels such as Flat Earth Records, Ebullition Records, and lead singer Martin Sorrondeguy's label Lengua Armada Discos.

In 2004, Martin Sorrondeguy released his documentary film Beyond The Screams: A U.S. Latino Hardcore Punk Documentary, which focussed on the Latino punk scene in the U.S. After Los Crudos came to an end, Sorrondeguy formed a new band, Limp Wrist, which he still performs with. He has also been in the bands Harto and Tragatelo, as well. Guitarist Jose now plays in the Chicago punk band I Attack.

Los Crudos played their last shows in October 1998. However, they reunited unannounced on June 2nd, 2006, to play at the 2nd Southkore Fest, held in Little Village on the South Side of Chicago. Southkore Fest drew over 500 people and consisted of all Latino punk bands from as far as the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
