  Corpse paint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corpse paint (sometimes a single word, corpsepaint) is a style of fl-and-white makeup used extensively by fl metal bands during live concerts and photo shoots as part of their imagery of evil and decay.
Particularly striking are the similarities between fl metal corpsepaint and the ghoulish apparence of the members of the Oskorei (Norse name for a legion of dead souls).
Hellhammer and early Slayer were perhaps the first death metal or fl metal groups to use such makeup, approximately in 1983, but there are further quasi-contemporary applications: Celtic Frost, The Misfits and King Diamond of Mercyful Fate used similar makeup in the early 1980's.

Black paint is usually placed around the eyes and lips, and white paint everywhere else, although a great variety of designs have been seen.
Despite the possible 'glam (additional info and facts about glam) ' roots of corpse paint, the designs used by many fl metal musicians are supposed to make them look more evil, inhuman, or corpse (The dead body of a human being) -like (ergo, the term corpse paint).
The Norwegian band Dødheimsgard has experimented with other colors, but in general deviations from the original formula are rare.

 Ambient light is a phony. - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
Ambient lighting brings up the lights in all areas of the room, not just surfaces facing into the light.
Placing extra lights around the scene is the best way to solve the 'no ambient required' problem, but does mean that to keep a reasonably even light level, you would need to add a heck of a lot of lights to the geometry.
If he had added just an ambient term it would have looked solid dark red (no way to see the pillar's edges against the walls) and solid dark gray for the walls.

 Burzum - Ambient Black Metal
In a search for what fl metal would become it became necessary to find out what it meant, and that leads us to a category of fl metal bands who are "the conceptualizers," most notably, Burzum, Darkthrone and Immortal.
Burzum has evolved from raw fl metal to an atmospheric style of classical music that reflects powerful concept and design in an executation that is a cliche of sound, a space best left to Mortiis and other professional cheeseballs.
Ambient long tempo structures and hypnotic pulsations of rhythm put this album in a dominant background role to your attention span, as if it were a soundtrack or sequence of demonic commands.

 Eating Black Milk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Italian word “ambiente“ literally means “environment, atmosphere”.
Brian Eno once wrote “Ambient Music is intended to induce calm and a space to think”.
EBM have tried to achieve just that whilst staying within the bounds of pop music: infectious melodies and clear, but never obvious, structures are present in each song.

 Tech Tip Archive CAV
The reason is that projected imagery in high ambient light venues will not benefit from a projector with high contrast (low fl level), but will benefit from maximum lumens.
Indeed, in high ambient light environments, the only way to increase the environmental dynamic range of the image is to either turn out the lights, or bring as many lumens to the table as you can possibly muster.
In a boardroom environment with ambient light, the slight loss of projector fl level will never be noticed, but the added lumens will deliver a 25% improvement in the environmental on-screen dynamic range produced in the environment.

 Halfbakery: Energy : Thermal
I'd think copper tubing painted with fl automobile radiator paint (minimal insulation because it goes on thin yet still covers well) with a retractable insulating sheath would be a reasonable arrangement.
When fl cladding temp.drops due to whatever reasons (sunset,overcast sky etc.), the fl cladding would retract and only white permanaent cladding would be there as usual.IMPORTANT- if there is no air gap between white cladding and fl cladding, it may or may not in fact increase radiation loss from steam piping to ambient.
And when there is no radiation, the fluid would remain equal to ambient temperature (micro analysis would tell that there would be little heat loss because very slight increase in fluid temperature across the pump would again drop between pump and HX due to fl body radiation).

 Department of Chemistry: Seminar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In recent years, residents of communities in the east end of Hamilton have complained about "fl fallout" on their properties; this air particulate deposition takes the form of a fine, greasy fl film that coats their houses, cars, outdoor furniture and swimming pools.
There are, however, sources of fl particulate other than carbon fl including emissions from steel industry coke ovens, blast furnaces and storage piles, from vehicular traffic and from other industries.
Our approach to the determination of ambient levels of carbon fl is based upon a sequential extraction methodology and the quantification of an unusual PAC we have found on carbon fls as a source tracer for carbon fl.

 ConceptArt.org Forums - Best Ambient Electronic Music???
even their old music was ambient fl metal, where he would strum the same riff over and over with some synth, it's really good, but the new stuff is pure ambient.
burzum was a fl metal band (one of the pioneers) and then varg vikernes decided to stop playing metal.
The reason he's reverted to beatless ambient music (apart from being in jail and only being allowed a synth in the way of musical instruments) is that he now thinks drums, as used in rock music, is a 'fl' thing, thus unfit as a basis for 'pure' music.

 Zoetosis by Telomere
Michael Moorcock wrote in his novel The Black Corridor, "space does not care" and it seems that many of today's ambient and space music artists have taken this phrase to mean that space should be infinite flness and cold isolation.
I'm not in a position to argue, especially when "fl space" ambient can be some of the most potent drift around (Celestial Geometries by Oöphoi and Tau Ceti comes immediately to mind).
With all this uncaring space around, arguably the most realistic interpretation of space travel, it becomes all the more refreshing when an artist comes along and creates space music in its classic, positive, bright aspect--all fantasy travels with none of the sugary sweetness of new age music.

 Live 4 Metal - Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
By implementing unheard of levels of arcane religious iconography and massively in-depth pseudo-biblical lyrics whilst marrying it to a thick, dark, claustrophobic wall of discordant extreme metal, the Frenchmen (and one Finn if rumours are to be believed) took a decisive step forward.
For the open-minded fl metal enthusiast who is not merely content to dwell in the past, ‘Kenose’ represents a mind-blowing musical odyssey.
The evidence is there when you look at the likes of Sabbat and Abigail, both bands tried their best but were honestly more likely to have me laughing in frustration than taking them seriously (this is exactly what I did on catching Sabbat at Wacken Open Air).

 White Cong and Black Clap: The Ambient Truth of Vietnam War Legendry, Part II, John Baky
The Sixties Project, sponsored by Viet Nam Generation Inc. and the Institute of Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, is dedicated to using electronic resources to provide routes of collaboration and make available primary and secondary sources for researchers, students, teachers, writers and librarians interested in the 1960s.
Finally, a cluster of legends center around the apparent periodic sightings of renegade GI's (usually low-ranking NCO's or, for some reason, a captain -and, inexplicably, always blond.) The renegade GI turned stealthy enemy, sometimes referred to as "White Cong" is one of the most resilient stories to survive the war.
Fish explains parenthetically that this is not a new story since she had recently been told (by a Chris Feola) of a version from the Philippine War, where the deserter-turned-headhunter is recognized by the presence of his West Point Class ring.

But this, too, is ambient, and I won’t be able to entirely explain what I mean by that; not this week, anyhow.
Much of this rumination is a personal problem of mine, I know, which is why I picked these particular two records to harp on this week: of them I can say without hesitation that if they sound like they’re your thing, then they probably are.
Sooner or later I will arrive at my Grand Unification Theory that brings ambient music, heavy metal, crust punk, and dub reggae all under the same umbrella, but until I get there, I have only this to offer: I listened closely to two ambient records this week.

Though Alio Die is considerably more ambient and minimalist, there is a strong female voice at the heart of his music and the same romantic spirit encompasses the music.
With Immaculate Black’s fidelity to Gothic mood and atmosphere, I think by stirring up what already makes them unique and harnessing a few more elements to flesh out their sound could make them one of the best new darkwave/Gothic rock acts around.
Though true to the starkly erotic and slightly necrophilic themes of the song, I envisioned clean vocals for some of the more dreary parts, which would have better expressed the gloom and regret of the lyrics (which in part deal with the death of beautiful woman, spoken through her widowed lover).
