Here we&#8217;ll explain what they are and their application in metal music. The Virginia [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guitar distortion is a fundamental asset of metal music. Yet it also has a great disadvantage that represents a big limitation to musical composition: it doesn&#8217;t give much of a dynamic range, like an acoustic instrument or an electric guitar on the clean channel do, which doesn&#8217;t open possibilities for a greater range of expression [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Instrumental skill may be one of the attributes of metal that most attracts the attention of outsiders to the genre. It&#8217;s something that immediately jumps to the eye, the technical display of instrumental virtuosism that makes one go: &#8220;wow, that guy can really play!&#8221;. For better or for worse, it&#8217;s the truth. Most non-metalheads aren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
