Paradise And Iron

Power metal – a forceful, hard-driving, and aggressive yet melodic style of heavy metal associated with headbangers like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Queensrÿche, and King Diamond – got started in the '70s and reached its commercial peak in the '80s. Other power metal bands surfaced in the '90s, and their melodic yet aggressive approach was a throwback to the '70s and '80s. Like Sweden's Evergrey, Argentina's Jezabel, Italy's Rhapsody, and New Jersey's Symphony X, Germany's Iron Savior, led by guitarist, vocalist, and sole constant member Piet Sielck, is a modern band untouched by post-'80s alt metal.

Practiced in the East for centuries, the flowing movements of tai chi have been known to promote health and inner harmony. According to Chinese medicine, the benefits of this ancient martial art come from unblocking and encouraging the proper flow of chi, the energy force that flows throughout the body. Western medicine hasn’t typically addressed the body’s “energy forces,” but that might be about to change.

Under the sun, the heavenly beauty of grasslands will soon be covered by the raging dust of mines.
