Raven
A raven is any of several large-bodied passerine bird species in the genus '' Corvus''. These species do not form a single taxonomic group within the genus. There is no consistent distinction between crows and ravens; the two names are assigned to different species chiefly by size. The largest raven species are the common raven and the thick-billed raven; these are also the largest passerine species. Etymology The term ''raven'' originally referred to the common raven (''Corvus corax''), the widespread species of the Northern Hemisphere. The modern English word ''raven'' has cognates in all other Germanic languages, including Old Norse (and subsequently modern Icelandic) and Old High German , all of which descend from Proto-Germanic . Collective nouns for a group of ravens include a "conspiracy", a "treachery", a "rave" and an "unkindness"; in practice, most people use the more generic "flock".

Blood On Ice
''Blood on Ice'' is the ninth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory. It was released on 27 May 1996, through Black Mark Production. It is a concept album. This is the final Bathory album that would use session musicians, as Quorthon would track all instruments on the following albums. Background The master tapes were recorded in 1989, but the album was not immediately released, both because the album was never properly finished, and because founder and songwriter Quorthon was worried that it presented too drastic a departure from the band's previous black metal sound. It was eventually released, after remastering and re-editing on more advanced studio equipment, in 1996, partly through fan pressure resulting from his mentioning of the project in an interview. Quorthon expands on this, as well as more specific matters about the recording of ''Blood on Ice'' and many of the other early Bathory albums in his liner notes for this release. The album's plot follows i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
