  Doom metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A few death metal bands bordered the line of doom metal by slowing down their playing style, such as Sorrow or Paradise Lost on their debut.
A number of bands started combining the original doom metal style that was pioneered in the 1980s with influences from death metal and other forms of extreme metal and even hardcore.
Drone doom tracks are generally long, with typical drone tracks lasting between ten and thirty minutes; some drone doom releases even consist of only one album-long track.

 Drone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Twelve Hawks' fictional novel 'The Traveller', describes drones as being citizens that have become exhausted and overwhelmed by the struggle of living and fight for survival; in a world controlled by the Tabula, who's plans are to control the entire human race by means of intense and intrusive electronic surveillance.
Drones differ from the majority of 'ordinary citizens' by way of not being ignorant to the truth of what is happening outside of their own day-to-day lives.
The drones have a sole purpose or fate, and when they accomplish that mission they are "deactivated" by themselves, or have an automatic death.

 George Crumb | Songs, Drones, and Refrains of Death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Of the eight works constituting the cycle, Songs, Drones, and Refrains of Death is the largest in conception and the most intensely dramatic in its projection of Lorca's dark imagery.
Songs, Drones, and Refrains was commissioned by the University of Iowa and first performed in the spring of 1969.
Lorca's haunting, even mystical vision of death -- which embodies, and yet transcends, the ancient Spanish tradition -- is the seminal force of his dark genius.

Spencer says the $20,000 drone, which has a wingspan of 6 feet and still is being tested, will take off when one of dozens of ground sensors placed along the border detect foot traffic.
The deaths of 19 immigrants this month in a sweltering trailer in South Texas were a vivid reminder of how desperate some Mexicans are to escape poverty back home.
He adds that he hopes the drone will show that citizens "are within reach of developing an independent capability to monitor the entire southern border and show the American people every time it is violated.

If you send in the drones before the pirates have chosen you as the target, then your poor little drones will be gang banged by the pirates first before they turn thier attentions to you.
The problem is that drones, even when held to the point where you are targeted/being fired apon, will STILL die as the pirates change targets in the middle of combat.
Drones are seeming to draw almost all the NPC pirates attention.

Death is neither the beginning nor the end; rather it's a nice time to take a nap while my plans mature.
I need a drone with longer range and better acceleration simply because engagement ranges are so much longer for my ships (besides, I made a wonderful sensor drone model that I want to use).
Based on those rules, the expected behavior is that a sensor drone is no different than a torpedo.

Enigmatic Maryland residents Death Chants are a relatively new group, but already their homegrown space folk ramblings have drawn some well-deserved attention.
The A side features a few supple organs laying down a billowy, melodic drone; the B side is closer in spirit to the group’s self-titled Time-lag release, with acoustic guitar and bells augmenting the organ drone.
Death chants seem to succeed at exploring the cosmic side of folk music, and are definitely a group to keep an eye on.

 Israel Defense Forces Navy Unleashes Death Shark Against Terrorism
Private defense analysts who have studied photos of the "Death Shark" or what the IDF brands as the "Protector" state that the Rafael Industries weapon is equipped with at least four cameras, as well as a sonar or radar system and electro-optics capable of providing a three-dimensional image.
But the true mission of the "death shark" is to defend Israel waters, her civilian coastline and her allies from a terrorist attack.
The "Death Shark" will most definitely be used to protect and escort Israel's merchant marine fleet and civilian vessels in both the Middle East and throughout the world, say analysts.

And if the engines were to explode, and the death masks fall from overhead, and the plane plummet to a watery grave, it would make no difference to me. I was certain the plane was going to crash from the moment it left the runway.
This hypersensitivity, born out of the fear of death, is why I can imagine (again, in excruciating detail) the final moments in the flying machines that laid low the Twin Towers.
Traveling at 600 mph six miles above the ground and landing safely is unreal; blowing up in midair, hearing the death drone of a free-falling plane, hitting the ground with a thunderclap, this is very real.

A CIA drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle, had attacked a house in North Waziristan on November 5 after receiving information that Abu Hamza Rabia was staying there with his wife and children.
On the night of December 1, another unmanned drone of the CIA fired a missile at a house at Haisori village, about 30 km from the Afghanistan border in the North Waziristan area, after receiving information that Abu Hamza Rabia was spending the night there.
They have projected the death of Rabia as due to an accidental explosion in the house, where, according to them, explosives were being stored.

Drones become the turn after they are dropped, or moved by a drone mover.
If crew members are lost then the total number of weapons that may be fired in one turn is diminished, but a specific weapon system does not become inactive unless it is destroyed by a critical.

 Death From Above
As tens of thousands of people chanted "death to America" at protest marches across Pakistan, the regime of U.S. puppet dictator General Pervez Musharraf--weakened by the West's failure to provide earthquake aid in Kashmir--was pushed to the brink of collapse.
Fly the drone lower than that and it becomes vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire.
Targeted killing by aerial bombardment, whether it's carried out by pilots, hijackers or computer-guided drones, is an inherently flawed concept--too easy to contemplate, too hard to carry out, and too ham-fisted to execute without also killing civilians.

 Entrance: Prayer of Death: Pitchfork Record Review
By emphasizing this aspect of his music, Blakeslee is essentially trading his white blues jones-- which at best was a hard sell, at worst insufferable-- for a new set of pretensions, and whether he's taking a short detour or cutting a new trail for himself remains to be seen.
And "Requiem for Sandy Bull (R.I.P.)" is noteworthy less for its sitar drone tribute to the late musician than for the fact that it's a memorial.
For Blakeslee, death is the ultimate psychedelic, erasing the mind completely instead of expanding it-- and by the closing track, Blakeslee has made some sort of peace with the idea, which makes the album sound like a journey instead of a tract.

 Heavy Metal Music by Genre Including Death Metal and Black Metal and Grindcore and Thrash
Where death metal broke music into raw rhythm and structure, fl metal built upon that foundation in technique by exploring the use of melody as the central principle of songwriting.
Bands influenced by the progressive styles of the 1970s and the abrupt, droning, explosive style of hardcore began making a fast type of metal which used palm muting as a strumming technique to produce bursts of alternating rhythmic emphasis.
While this music was highly complex and often inventive in structure, it remained roughly within the confines of rock-based mainstream music and passed its technique on to the underground death metal, thrash and grindcore to follow.

One of the best tracks is "scatter my bones on the shore," which combines wavelike drone guitar with wailing, ringing feedback and melodic lines over fragmented percussion; "temple hammer" and "gallows of divorce" are more straightfoward power-death drone, scary enough in its own right, but "...
Even better, the bass-heavy creep of "megan" features some hideously detuned bass with serious teeth, and soon settles into a monolithic two-step slo-mo drone that washes over you like the waves of the ocean, disgorging bloated bodies that come to rest on an endless beach, waiting for the scavengers.
The final track, "depth lord: the year of the dragon" is essentially piercing wails of feedback over a slowly-rotating drone broken only by punishing subterranean riffing, molasses-style.

 Guest Comment on NRO
Saddam intends to deploy these drones of death in southern Iraq to threaten his neighbors.
Given its 500-mile radius, a "drone of death," once unleashed into the atmosphere, would enable Saddam to reach targets not only in Kuwait, but also in Israel and Saudi Arabia.
As a result, the full dimensions of this "drone" program remain what UNSCOM's second chairman, Ambassador Richard Butler, has called a "fl hole." This is all the more disturbing insofar as the Iraqi L29 program would be the easiest of all Iraq's proscribed programs for Saddam to reconstitute if it were ever located by UNSCOM.

Later, I fell in love with Hindu chant, often sung to droning harmoniums and tablas, and the deep chant of Tibetan monks who make their own drones with impossibly low vocal intonations.
And I “saw” this little tributary flowing into the great movement, and knew that it was me. Somewhere in the past I had emerged, separated from the great flow for a time, and was now rejoining it, merging back into the whole.
Reading about East Indian spiritual music, I learned that the drone starting note of a given scale must be present and steady throughout, like a great deep flow of energy, never stopping, always providing an undergirding movement to whatever other notes may be played or sung.

Death by feedback and ear-frying white noise is what you find on "Specialismo" -- probably the most severe of these tracks -- whereas "Vertigonal" and "Momentus" are more varied and not quite so focused on power through pain.
There are some powerful moments of full-on electrofuzz or power drone, and plenty of clattering noises and execptionally crepescular sound transmission strategies as well, buried in the machine rhythms and electronic death hum.
Then there's the droning noise intro of "Your Call," which makes a nice segue into the growing swell of keyboards and drone that eventually soar skyward to merge with the vocals and descend again in a cloud of shimmering melody and dramatic keyboards.
