Its Just Me It Takes Alot To Succeed But Nothing To Fail Middletown High School Love is just a state of mind Music Its just....because I said so And I care why ? Little Devil Chick My Music

Hey My name is Samantha and im a junior here at Middletown High School. I created this site just for fun so I hope You all like it . My school in my opinion has room for improvement but I love it and wouldnt wanna go anywhere else. I listen to almost every type of music. I know some people have a specific favorite but you really need to keep your mind open to new possibilities. Below is a list and brief Bio of some of my fav Bands.....Maybe youll find a new Favorite AVENGED SEVENFOLD formed in 1999 in Huntington Beach, California while the members were still in high school. The band uses pseudonyms, and call themselves M.Shadows (vocals), Synyster Gates(guitar), Zacky Vengenace (guitar), Johnny Christ (bass) and The Reverend (drums). Metalcore:  Avenged Sevenfold released their first full-length CD Sounding The Seventh Trumpet in 2001. Their sound was metalcore,combining hardcore and heavy metal. In 2003 they released Waking The Fallen which was still metalcore, but started leaning a bit more toward the metal side. Major Label Success:  In 2005 the band signed to major label Warner Brothers and released City Of Evil. It completed their evolution to an almost exclusively metal band, with this album containing classic and thrash metal influences LINKIN PARK Old-school .hip-hop ,traditional classic rock , and spooling electronic vibes were the initial factors behind the building of the alternative metal quintet, Linkin Park . The band's southern Californian musical roots were also an underlying basis, for drummer Rob Bourdon ,guitarist Brad Delson , and MC/vocalist Mike Shinoda formed a tight friendship while still in high school. Shortly after graduation, art student and DJ Joseph Hahn hooked up with bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell and Shinoda for the band, Xero.  Otep Members Brian Wolff, Evil J, Otep, Karma Cheema Otep is an LA-based, female-fronted four-piece band. Witnessing a brief live performance impressed Sharon Osbourne enough for Otep to land a spot on Ozzfest before signing onto a label. Lead singer Otep Shamaya is one of the few frontwomen to apply death grunting. Otep's lyrics often involve discussions of pain and abuse. There is a very personal feeling to many of Otep's tracks due to the use of original poetry as the origin of many of the lyrics. The chilling sounds of Cradle Of Filth have been gathering attention for nearly five years. Challenging everything in their path, including police intervention on more than one occasion, the English sextet have fought their way to the top of Europe's blossoming black metal scene. Now their sights are set on you. Dusk And Her Embrace is the latest recording from the band and the first to hit American shores. Acting more like the soundtrack to the most twisted Peter Cushing movie in existance, the cold sweat that the band evokes quickly heats to a maddening torment as they welcome you to your most lavish nightmare. Produced by Kit Woolven (Cathedral, Thin Lizzy), Dusk And Her Embrace captures Cradle Of Filth's darkened musical dexterity. Inspired by the likes of Celtic Frost, Bathory, Diamanda Galas and Mercyful Fate, it contains some of the most ornate creations one will hear this side of Hades. Its compelling sounds are provided by the bands new lineup, adding guitarists Stuart Anstis and Gian Pyres, and keyboardist Damien Gregori, to the band's core of bassist Robin Eaglestone, drummer Nicholas, and immortal dark screamer Dani. Unlike most black metal albums, those that suffer greatly from less-than-fabulous production, Dusk And Her Embrace is a sonic gem. Taking over two months to record, it offers a challenge to a scene and habits that are far too often uninspiring. As a recent issue of Terrorizer said, "COF have managed to up the ante without sacrificing the essence, namely the music." "We wanted this album to transcend the way a normal album would sound," says Dani. "We wanted it to sound almost inhuman, like a film score. You can listen to it watching a Dracula movie with the sound down or watching something cataclysmic, like War Of The Worlds." Cradle Of Filth arrive in the U.S. amidst a fanfare of controversy. Having recently ungraced the cover of The London Mirror, the demi-gods continue to intimidate those of weak mind and body. With the arrest of 29 year old Rob Kenyon (already convicted on profanity charges for wearing a COF t-shirt) and the banning of a group photograph destined for the cover of a recent issue of Kerrang! (the magazine's distributors found the photograph "likely to cause offense"), COF are no strangers to shocking propaganda. Yet, despite persistant legal attempts, the band show no indication of slowing or toning down. "Anything groundbreaking will always be deemed amoral," says Dani. "However, it's something that has worked with our band. COF has always exercised the excesses of vice over virtue and we will continue to do so. Like us, hate us, or ignore us. Our music is going to move people." Under the self adopted banner of "Supreme Vampyric Evil", Cradle Of Filth have carved a niche for themselves amidst the whirl and rash of the rising black metal phenomenon. The band's raucous imagery and gothic flights of fancy have made them one of the biggest black metal bands of their time. And with European sales of the band's 1994 debut, The Priciple Of Evil Made Flesh, and 1996's Vempire - Dark Faerytales In Pallustein already exceeding over 100,000, they are without a doubt the biggest act of their kind the U.S. have seen since Venom. As the band's growing legion of fans continues to expand, so too does COF's hold on the darkened throne. Eagerly antcipated, the release of Dusk And Her Embrace should make for an interesting ne Disturbed is a band, formed in 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak, and Mike Wengren joined up with singer David Draiman in Chicago, Illinois. Although generally regarded as part of the metal genre by the industry, some fans and the band alike are of the opinion that Disturbed is actually a hard rock band. The band was first formed when Draiman responded to an ad in a local paper for a vocalist and was auditioned successfully by the existing band members. The band worked very hard in the early years, recording two separate demo EPs which they then sent out to record companies. They sent two to show the record companies that they were dedicated to their music and that the first EP wasn't a fluke. The band broke out in 2000 with their single "Stupify" and subsequent album The Sickness. The album launched them in to stardom. They also released a completely revamped cover version of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's theme music for the WWE, called "Glass Shatters." After participating in Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest tour in 2001, the band started the "Music as a Weapon" Tour. In October 2002, their second album Believe debuted at #1, and in 2003, the band participated again in the Ozzfest tour. They recently toured with 10 Years and Ill Niño in support of their third album Ten Thousand Fists, released worldwide on September 20th, 2005. It debuted at #1 in the U.S. In addition to Ten Thousand Fists the band has released the tracks Hell and Monster although Monster is currently unavailable because the itunes offer it came with expired. But Hell is currently streamed on their myspace website. Both of these songs are in high demand and illustrate the band's extremely loyal fan base. In the future, the band is considering to create a "B-side" compilation including those two tracks as well as others. There was a Europe tour scheduled which has been moved twice due to David Draiman having troubles with his voice. They are also scheduled to headline the Jägermeister tour this November and will headline "Music as a Weapon III" in 2006. They supplied the song "Stricken" for WWE New Years Revolution 2006. The band's singer recently became embroiled in the music filesharing controversy by publicly speaking out against the RIAA's lawsuits against filesharing individuals, despite the fact his record label is a member of the RIAA. "This is not rocket science. Instead of spending all this money litigating against kids who are the people they're trying to sell things to in the first place, they have to learn how to effectively use the Internet. For the artists, my ass... I didn't ask them to protect me, and I don't want their protection." - David Draiman On January 7, Draiman said, on a radio show in Seattle, that it "looks" like Disturbed would be on this year's Ozzfest. However, he later said in an interview on January 30 that he never said anything like that to anyone, contradicting his previous statement. Draiman's conflicting statements led to an uproar of criticism from a few fans on Disturbed's official messageboard. This resulted in the shut down of the online community by the band and their management. Although no official statement from the band or management has been made, it is reported by such sources as Blabbermouth.net that Draiman feels that the online community, which had grown to 8,000 has become a source of frustration for the band due to ongoing criticism and quarreling. After all of this controversy, Disturbed was confirmed as an Ozzfest band, and will be headlining on the main stage.
