R&P - Featured Band Music.

"Coat of Arms" by Sabaton



"Ready to Roll" by Jet Black Stare

Both of these songs draw heavy referances to the genre of Rock. The formr focuses more on the heavy side of things, similar to bands like Dragonforce and Metallica, whereas the latter is more youthful, rebellious and faster-pased. It's easy from these to see the diversity that the Rock and Metal Genre covers, various subcultures notwithstanding. I chose these two to feature for two key reasons: 1). Both of these bands are not nearly as well known as I'd like to think they should be, and 2). The music made by both is symbolic of what Rock and Metal is. The allusions to bloody war and savagery in the more old-time metal style in "Coat of Arms", compared to the more modern equivilant of breaking the law with an adrenaline rush while speeding down a highway in "Ready to Roll". WHile this has the disadvantage of the bands being less popular (and therefore somewhat counter-intuitive to the idea of a Metal Magazine), it can draw viewers attention to a wider array of their favourite musical style, achieve one of the main aims of a magazine; to inform the reader.
