 THE EVOLUTION OF THE MILITARY BAND - Jack Kopstein
Although the town bands had as yet only poor instrumentation, consisting mostly of fifes, flutes, schalmey (a form of oboe), bombards (a bass flute), zinken or cornetti, bagpipes, viols and drums, they are the first germs from which modern bands originated.
Bands separated more distinctly into three classes - the full orchestra, addressing itself to the cultivated musical intellect, while the military and brass bands appealed to the masses.
The officers who were responsible for their pay became desirous of having a band they could utilize on all occasions, and a letter was sent to the Duke of York, Colonel-in-Chief of the Coldstream Guards, requesting a full time band.

 Siege Cannon
Rules: The heavy Siege Cannon and it's overly expensive shells is designed for the express purpose of destroying buildings, fortifications, dropships and other large targets.
The Siege Cannon has a very difficult time hitting targets that do not occupy a large part of a hex or are moving, so targets like mechs, infantry and tanks can only be hit on a to hit roll of “12”.
Because of the large size and recoil of the weapon, it has the same problems as the Heavy Gauss and has the same penalties if the weapon is not placed in a mechs torso or in the main body of a tank.

 KFTH - Siege: Drop Dead CD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This CD includes the legendary Siege demo and comp tracks, often bootlegged and finally officially released by Relapse in 1998.
Like many bands before them, they held nothing back in terms of anger and frustration, but what set them apart from their contemporaries was the fact that they played faster and heavier.
Also, in the middle of one song, the whole band stops for about 3 seconds for the bass player to do this crazy bass break (it basically sounds like he's hitting random notes) before picking up again at top speed as if nothing had happened.

 Siege of Syracuse (Polybius)
These officers then took up a position not far from the city and decided to assault it with their land forces at the quarter known as the Hexapyli; the fleet was to attack at the so-called portico of Scytice in Achradina, where the city wall extends to the quay-side.
The Romans' wicker screens, missiles and other siege apparatus had been made ready beforehand, and they felt confident that with the number of men at their disposal they could within five days bring their preparations to a point which would give them the advantage over the enemy.
And this resolution was never reversed, for during the eight months' siege of the city which followed, although they left no stratagem or daring attempt untried, they never again ventured to mount a general assault.

 Blu-ray Review: Under Siege | High-Def Digest
That makes 'Under Siege' an artifact of incredible nostalgia, a reflection of a simpler, seemingly easier time when guys on white horses could still ride onto battleships, crack jokes, and wipe out a zillion bad buys with a wink and a smile.
That said, 'Under Siege' does not appear to have gotten particularly grand attention from Warner, with a master that looks a bit dirty, grainy, dated, and lacking in depth.
Unfortunately, this Blu-ray release is an example of a growing trend among some high-def supporting studios, which is just to whip out their old HD masters, slap them on a disc and offer little in the way of added value or upgraded quality.

One of the casualties of the tsunami holocaust that devastated Southeast Asia was Mieszko Talarcyzk, the mastermind of the Swedish grindcore band Nasum.
Most importantly, the band knows how to mix their attack up perfectly, with some cool grinding grooves and even doomy bits interspersed with 1000 mph blasts of musical holocaust.
The band seems to be left wing in their political agenda as well.

 The great siege of Constantinople
The siege of Constantinople, in which scarcely 7,000 soldiers had to defend a city sixteen miles in extent against the powers of the Ottoman Empire, commenced on April 6, 1453.
It was thus, after a siege of fifty-three days, that Constantinople, which had defied the power of Chosroes and the caliphs, was irretrievably subdued by the arms of Mahomed II.
The siege and sack of Otranto by the Turks put an end to all thoughts of a crusade, and the general consternation was only allayed by the death of Mahomed II in the fifty-first year of his age.

 Microsoft's Dungeon Siege PC Review
The Kingdom of Ehb offers you a countryside mission of extermination, a band of combat specialists working their way from village to village, dungeon to dungeon, chasing a cheese cloth plot in pursuit of the most efficient way to outflank and out-duel aggressive creatures of all shapes and sizes.
As you move from village to village, dungeon to dungeon, you use a set of up to six custom-made characters (defined by the kind of statistics and levels you'd expect from a role-playing game) to create a fighting force composed of archers, fighters, and magic-users.
My first multiplayer game ran for four-and-a-half hours and although it has even less direction than the single-player campaign, I found it to be more fun and easier to reach a greater diversity of monsters and dungeons within a shorter playing period.

 Medieval Siege Weaponry - Castle Walls Beware
Medieval siege weaponry was required in any self-respecting war leader’s arsenal in a time when castles with thick defense walls were common and cities surrounded by large, fortified walls were not out of place.
As far as medieval siege weaponry is concerned, siege towers were somewhat difficult due to their cumbersome nature.
The downfall of siege towers in the long line of medieval siege weaponry, however, was their size and the propensity of the defending army to hurl projectiles at them.

 Amazon.com: Siege Perilous: Music: Kamelot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Siege Perilous is one of the most poorly produced metal albums I've ever heard, with puny buzzing riffs and inconspicuous vocal presence.
This reason alone is enough to buy Siege Perilous since this is where the band really began to come into it's own before their breakthrough with The Fourth Legacy.
Whereas the band's first two albums ("Eternity" and "Dominion") were meant to be early Queensryche clones - due in large part to original singer Mark Vanderbilt modelling his vocal style after that of Geoff Tate - "Siege" sees the Florida-based outfit introduce a welcome element of smoothness and subtlety.

Nowadays the scene is flooded with releases and bands trying to crank out some average metal-riffs to mix it up with mosh-parts and breakdowns you have heard a thousand times before already, craving to receive their own small piece of the 'big cake'.
To me it is the older bands of that genre that attract me. Bands that are done with playing boring riffs just to attract as many kids as possible.
Old and new friendships within the band were the solid basis to divert the course and spit out their best musical material so far.

In the early 90's, Siege reformed with Seth Putnam (of Anal Cunt) replacing Mahoney on vocals, although the band dissolved again fairly soon after.

'Under Siege' gets the 640kbps Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 surround treatment on HD DVD, and the results are about on par with the video transfer.

'Under Siege' suffers from a dated transfer and soundtrack, so even if you love Steven Seagal, the best I can recommend is giving this one a rent.

These men caught up with the little band of missionaries on the third day after their departure, and at once returned with them, Gregory offering no opposition, since he had received what appeared to him as a sign from heaven that his enterprise should be abandoned.
The siege of the city was soon abandoned, however, and Agilulf retired.
In Epp., V, xxxix, Gregory refers to himself as "the paymaster of the Lombards", and most likely a large payment from the papal treasury was the chief inducement to raise the siege.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by metal rock band Siege Of Hate called Subversive By Nature
Metal has been receiving vital Metal injections throughout the years from many Brazilian Metal bands, some of which are Sepultura, Sarcofago, Ratos De Porao and Krisiun, but the latest Extreme Metal export that comes from the land of Samba and Pele is called Siege Of Hate.
The production of the album that was achieved by both Moises Veloso and the band is quite impressive, but I believe that most of the compositions of the album are lacking this extra something that would make them memorable and approachable by a wider audience.
I am pretty sure that this band will be able to reveal their real capabilities in the near future.

As illustrated by a sole full-length release, the 1986 recording Horrified, the band's sound fell somewhere between the earlier proto-grind of Boston hardcore band Siege and the more fully developed grindcore of the early Napalm Death recordings, at least as far as the evolutionary ladder goes.
In the meantime, Olivo had left the band to join the Army and the rest of the band decided to call it quits.

 Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Siege of Hate - Subversive by Nature
I think the main problem with grindcore today is that so many bands are just playing loud, sloppy, (anti)music and don't realize that there's more to it than that.
Hailing from South America, SOH is a relatively young band having formed in 1997, but they do a great job of taking the late 80's/early 90's grind sound into modern day.
Siege of Hate are one of the best grindcore bands out there and Subversive by Nature is one the best grindcore releases you are likely to encounter this year.
