PSY (Gangnam Style) Biography

BIOGRAPHY OF PSY (GANGNAM STYLE)

There are at least two artists who use this name

1. A musician from South Korea

2. A musician from England

1) A romanisation of 싸이 (Hangul, often stylized as PSY), a pseudonym of WrPark Jae-sang (Hangul: 박재상; born December 31, 1977) is a South Korean singer-songwriter, model, rapper, dance musician and record producer. He is popular for his humorous videos and stage performances, and has appeared on numerous television programs, including The Ellen Degeneres Show, Extra, Good Sunday: X-Man, The Golden Fishery, The Today Show and Saturday Night Live.

His “Gangnam Style” music video is the most viewed K-pop video on YouTube, and also the most “liked” video on the site. Published on July 15th 2012, it continues to grow rapidly with the video having over 285 million views, and more than 2.8 million “likes,” as of September 26, 2012. The Gangnam Style Songfactsstates that following the initial success of the song in the US, Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun signed PSY to his Schoolboy Records label. Braun announced: “We’ve come to an agreement to make some history together and be the first Korean artist to break a big record in the United States.”

Park was born in South Korea on December 31, 1977 and later attended Banpo (반포) Elementary School, Banpo Middle School, and Sehwa (세화) High School. Park went on to attend both Boston University and Berklee College of Music. He describes himself as not following the K-pop mold.

Psy debuted in January 2001 with his full-length album titled PSY… From the Psycho World!, for which he later had to pay a fine due to accusations that the album contained “inappropriate content”. He was a rookie hip-hop singer that stirred up the Korean pop music scene with very blunt lyrics, peculiar dance moves and an unconventional appearance. Because of his unique style he was nicknamed the ‘Bizarre Singer’.

He released his second album titled Ssa 2 in the following year. However, the release sparked complaints from various civic groups about the potentially negative influence his album would have on the younger generation. Since then, Psy has been thought of as a controversial artist, and Ssa 2 was banned in 2002 from being sold to those under the age of 19. Later in September, Psy released his third album 3 PSY through releasing his music on the Internet. The album’s title song, “Champion”, saw great success partly due to the hype from the World Cup games held in Seoul.

When his agency began to struggle financially, Psy’s wife encouraged him to join YG.[8] Psy eventually switched entertainment agencies in 2010 to YG Entertainment where CEO Yang Hyun-suk expressed his old time ties with the singer. Psy made his comeback in October 2010 amidst the idol craze. However, he had embraced the fact that he was nowhere close to idol status.

In 2012, he released his 6th album PSY’s Best 6th Part 1 and the title song “Gangnam Style” met huge international success. The choreography for “Gangnam Style” was highlighted in international news and became a viral hit. On August 14, “Gangnam Style” ranked first on YouTube’s ‘Most Viewed Videos’ monthly chart; it has received over 283 million views on YouTube. On August 21, 2012, Gangnam Style officially charted #1 on the iTunes Music Video Charts, overtaking Justin Bieber’s “As Long as You Love Me” and Katy Perry’s “Wide Awake”; this feat is the first for any South Korean artist. On August 2, 2012, Psy was shown on CNN for the first time in the USA. On September 11, he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and taught the dance to Britney Spears. On September 14, 2012, he appeared on The Today Show on NBC in New York, performing the song live and teaching dance moves to the anchors. The following day, he also made a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live during a skit featuring “Gangnam Style.”

“When I realized that some top stars like have imagined or tweeted about me, I thought, ‘That’s joking. That’s not gonna happen…’ I never expect things like this, not because they are top stars, but because this is the biggest market in the universe for pop music, right, so everybody’s dreaming about having appearance in the U.S. so I’m still saying, “What going on here? This is beautiful.”

Riding high on the success of “Gangnam Style”, Psy was signed by Scooter Braun to Braun’s Schoolboy Records, a label distributed by Universal Republic.

Psy has also written many hit songs of varying genres for different singers. His most famous composition perhaps is Lee Seung Ki’s debut song “Because You Are My Woman”.

Psy gained many fans with his style of music, while his satirical slant has further driven his popularity. He is especially popular for his sense of humor and his unique concerts in which he imitates female singers such as Park Ji Yoon and Lee Hyori. Starting out with “Bird”, the title song of his first album, Psy showed off his own style, fashion and confidence. He broke down the stereotype among K-pop music lovers that male singers can not enjoy the same success as female artists in Western Markets.

Park served his mandatory military service from 2003 to 2005. On October 14, 2006, Psy married Yoo Hye Yeon (his girlfriend for three and half years). After evidence came to light that suggested Psy didn’t properly serve his full term of service, he was re-drafted to serve a second term in August 2007. After being released the summer of 2009, Psy voiced how he had learned a lot through his experience. He said he also felt the weight of his responsibility to his wife and twin daughters who were born two months before he started his second term.

2) A solo acoustic artist based in the north east of England.

Selalu aku yang kau salahkan...!!!!! Padahal aku sudah memperbaiki diri sesuai yang kau inginkan, berusaha memberikan yang terbaik untukmu, kasih sayang telah kucurahkan semuanya kepadamu.. tetapi apapun yang kulakukan, tak pernah benar dimatamu... Kau anggap aku macam sampah...

Kau hancurkan aku dengan kepalsuan, kau luluh lantahkan hati ini sesukamu... dimanakah letak perasaanmu sehingga pertikaian diantara kita kerap terjadi, lantaran kau memilih dia sebagai penggantiku......!!!!!!!!!!

Janji yang pernah aku ucapkan untuk menjagamu, tak kan pernah aku ingkari... meskipun aku hanya bisa menjagamu dari jauh... 

Aku sangat mencintaimu... Aku harus melakukan ini, karena aku ngga ingin melihat kebahagiaanmu terhalang oleh ku, semoga kamu bahagia bersamnya... 

Fikiranku lagi kacau, aku ngga enak badan, hatiku sakit... lengkap sudah penderitaanku...

Yang dicintai pergi, yang didambakan hilang...

Ibarat duri menikam hati

Aku memang patut kamu benci untuk selamanya... tapi aku mau tau dimana salahku ma kamu...

Sahabatku...... ku titip dia, jangan pernah kau sakiti dia, hianati dia, dan jangan pernah kau lukai perasaannya... buatlah dia bahagia, cintai dia sepenuh hatimu, aku hanya ingin melihat dia bahagia, meski dia bukan untukku.... Terimakasih temanku... 

Andaikan saja kau mengerti, tentang perasaanku saat ini, hati ini selalu menahan perih, dari serpihan hatimu yang selalu mengacuhkan aku tanpa satu alasan pun...

Aku kangen banget ma kamu... walaupun kamu udah jadi milik orang lain...

Pelukan sayanang darimu tak akan pernah kurasakan karena kau telah memilih yang lain...

Lindungi dia Tuhan, ketika penjagaanku tak bisa lagi sampai kepadanya.....

Kuatkan aku tuhan, aku hanya ingin melihatnya berBAHAGIA meski tanpa aku yang sangat menyayanginya... 

Kamu ngga pernah tau... Aku kesepian, aku hancur... kamu ngga pernah ada ketika aku butuh kamu!!! Kamu selalu bilang kalau aku nggak pernah mengerti kamu... tapi sebenarnya kamulah orang yangg paling nggak ngerti aku..!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perjanjian apa yang pernah kalian ucapkan berdua, hingga aku orang yg nggak pernah tau perjanjian kalian menjdi korban.......!!!!

Jika dengan menyakitiku bisa membuatmu bahagia maka lakukanlah......!!!! 

Mencoba bersabar, walau hti ini terluka... tapi kenapa aky selalu dibanding-badingkan??? Biarlah aku pergi menyusuri jalan berliku, walau sakit kurasakan tanpa cinta lagi...

Tetes air mata jatuh demi seseorng yang tidak pernah menjadi kepunyaanmu.. Kenapa kamu mencintai seseorang yg cintanya tak pernah untukmu??? Aku orang yang sangat mencintaimu, bahkan tak pernah kau pedulikan...

Disaat kamu pergi dengan yg lain.... aku akan menjauh dan jangan pernah berfkir aku akan membencimu.... Karna sesungguhnya aku tau kebahagiaanmu bukan padaku... dan biarlah rasa ini tetap untukku...... Dan bila suatu saat kamu diasingkan atau dijauhi, carilah aku, karna cintaku padamu tak akan pernah hilang dan aku akan slalu ada bagimu...

I'm shocked, I'm afraid

Forgive my ignorance

I need you

Love begins with a smile degan, blossom end degan degan kiss and cry.

Love a person on the basis of who he is now and not who he is before. The story of the past do not need to be raised again, would you really love him wholeheartedly.

Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel

Biography

Actor, producer, writer, and director Vin Diesel was born Mark Vincent in New York City on July 18, 1967. His father taught theatre, while his mother was a psychologist and astrologist. Mark was raised by his mother and adoptive father in an artist's housing project in New York's Greenwich Village, without ever knowing his biological father. He has a fraternal twin brother, Paul Vincent, who is a film editor and also two sisters. 

Mark's first break in acting happened by chance, when at the age of seven he and his friends broke into a theater named "Theatre for the New City," which was produced in Greenwich Village, to vandalize it. To their surprise, a woman stopped and offered them each a script and $20, on the condition that they would attend everyday after school. From there, Mark's career progressed from the New York repertory company run by his father, to the Off-Off-Broadway circuit. 

By the time Mark was 17 years old, he felt the need of more income and with his already well-honed physique, he became a bouncer at some New York's hippest clubs, like "Tunnel" that has since closed and "Mars," a job he would do for the next nine years. It was at this time that Mark changed his name to Vin Diesel.

 

Completed his high school, Vin enrolled as an English major at Hunter College, but dropped out after three years because he thought it was time for him to further his acting career. And so he went to Hollywood, thinking an experienced and art-driven theater actor like him would be valued. Such thought turned out to be false as he didn't make any impression there and after a year of struggling to make his mark, he returned to New York. It was Vin's mother who gave her desperate son a book by Rick Schmidt called "Feature Films at Used Car Prices." The advice within the book later on led Vin to take control of his career and make his own movies. 

"Multi Facial" (1994) was the short film Vin wrote based on his own experiences as an actor, which was shot in less than three days at a cost of $3,000. Not only did he write and star in the film, but also directed and produced it, so he deserved to be proud as the project was eventually accepted for the 1995 Cannes Film Festival where it got a tumultuous reception. 

Afterwards, Vin returned to Los Angeles and raised nearly $50,000 through telemarketing to fund the making of his first feature "Strays" (1997), an urban drama in which he cast himself as a gang boss whose love for a woman inspires him to try to change his ways. Written, directed, and produced by Vin, six months after shooting, the film was accepted for the 1997 Sundance Film Festival and received a good reception, though it didn't sell as well as hoped. Yet again a disappointed Vin found himself back in New York only to receive a dream call from his newly acquired agent. 

Lucky for Vin when moviemaker Steven Spielberg said he was impressed by "Multi Facial" and thus invited Vin to meet him on the set of "Amistad." As both males became clicked, Vin then got in hand a role especially written for him in Spielberg's next blockbuster "Saving Private Ryan" (1998). Following the success of the movie, "Multi Facial" went on to earn Vin more works, including the title character of the animated "The Iron Giant" (1999) directed by Brad Bird. Next, Vin also won the lead role of Richard B Riddick in the character-driven sci-fi film "Pitch Black" (2000), an interplanetary thriller that features him and fellow Earthlings doing battle with a host of nasty alien mutants. 

Despite the movie small budget and low-key marketing, Vin performance indeed earned him numerous of devoted fans and the recognition he deserves. Since then his career began a meteoric rise with his receiving a more challenging roles, as the one he got in a 2001 action film "The Fast and The Furious" that portrays him as the leader of a street racing gang that is under suspicion of hijacking trucks for their cargo of expensive electronic equipment. From this point Vin kept getting any other roles in many other qualified movies, like in “Boiler Room” (2000), “Knockaround Guys” (2001), and “A Man Apart” (2003). 

Above all, Vin was also well known for his action in a 2002 action movie entitled "XXX" pronounced "Triple X" in which he stars as Xander Cage, an extreme sports star who is recruited by a National Security Agency agent to infiltrate a group of European criminals named Anarchy 99. 

As for the nominations this tough actor have ever gotten are; listed as a potential nominee on both the 2003 and 2004 Razzie Award nominating ballots, named as a suggestion for the Worst Actor category on the 2003 ballot for his performances in the films “Knockaround Guys” (2001) and “XXX” (2002), and was listed as a suggestion again on the nominating ballot in the Worst Actor category the next year for his role in "A Man Apart" (2003). Fortunately, Vin didn't receive either nominations, instead he could favorably win #46 in Premiere's 2003 annual Power 100 List after he previously ranked #95 in 2002. 

The year of 2005 maybe Vin most difficult time as he has to gain 30 pounds more despite the routine exercise he has to stop during the "gain weight process" for the next role he plays in the upcoming drama "Find Me Guilty" where he portrays as a gangster and for which he has to develop "a gut." The burden could indeed lessen with Vin's new comedy hit "The Pacifier" success in grabbing the top spot at the box office this weekend, grossing $30.6 million well ahead of John Travolta's much-hyped "Get Shorty" sequel "Be Cool" which earned $23.5 million.

The band first formed as Reset in the late 90s by high-school friends Bouvier and Chuck at the age of thirteen. Reset released their first record called "No Worries" and toured with some bands like Blink 182, MxPx, Face to Face, and Ten Foot Pole. Chuck, whose first job was a writer in a music magazine, was the first to leave the band after being uncomfortable with the music they played. Two years later, Chuck reunited with Lefebvre and Stinco and decided to start making music again. They unexpectedly met Bouvier, who was a cook in a barbecue chicken restaurant, at Sugar Ray's concert in late 1999, who later rejoined the band. They then asked another Reset's personnel, Desrosiers, to join the new band, Simple Plan. 

In 2002, Simple Plan headed into the studio to make a record. Their debut album, ..."No Pads, No Helmett...Just Balls" was released in 2002. "Perfect" soon became its biggest single and was nominated in MTV 2003 Video Music Awards as Best New Artist and in 2004 as Viewer's Choice. Simple Plan once performed in 2003 TV's Hard Rock Live. Their hard days work finally paid-up for in 2003 when the band finally won a MuchMusic Video Award for People's Choice Favorite Canadian Group.

The band later appeared on both the "Scooby-Doo" and the "Scooby-Doo 2: Monster Unleashed" soundtracks for they love the animated dog very much. But Simple Plan big screen debut was in the movie "New York Minute" stars the Olsen twins. 

Apparently, Simple Plan is not good in music only, but in clothing business also. Simple Plan's Chuck, Bouvier, and their friend Patrick Langlois formed a clothing line called "Role Model Clothing". Meanwhile, Langlois and Lefebrve have their own clothing label called "Man of the Hour". Bouvier, who is addicted to "Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough" ice cream and the "Victoria's Secret" catalogue, is now taking another side job by hosting MTV's reality series "Damage Control." 

In 2004, their second album "Still Not Getting Any..." was released. The band shows their sense of humor by having a few funny photos of their older look in Simple Plan new CD booklet. One of the album's singles namely "Welcome to My Life" soon became their another successful hit.

Avenged Sevenfold Biography

Avenged Sevenfold is an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. The band has achieved mainstream success with their 2005 album City of Evil, which included singles such as "Burn It Down", "Bat Country," "Beast and the Harlot" and "Seize the Day." The band's success followed with their self-titled album, with singles such as "Critical Acclaim", "Almost Easy", "Afterlife", "Scream" and "Dear God".

Band history

Inception (1999-2004)

The band was formed in 1999 in Huntington Beach, California with original members M Shadows, Zacky Vengeance, The Rev and Matt Wendt. M Shadows came up with the name as a reference to the story of Cain and Abel from The Bible, although it is not a religious band. Upon its formation, each member of the band also took on a pseudonym which were already nicknames of theirs from high school. Before release their debut album, the band recorded two demos in 1999 and 2000. Avenged Sevenfold's debut album,Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, was recorded when the band members were just eighteen years old and in high school. It was originally released on their first label, Good Life Recordings in 2001. After lead guitarist Synyster Gates joined the band,at the end of 1999 when he was 18 at the introductory track "To End the Rapture" was re-recorded featuring a full band element. The album was subsequently re-released on Hopeless Records in 2002.

The band started to receive recognition, performing with bands such as Mushroomhead and Shadows Fall and playing on the Take Action Tour. Having settled on their fourth bassist, Johnny Christ, they releasedWaking the Fallen on Hopeless Records in August 2003. The band received profiles in Billboard and The Boston Globe, and played in the Vans Warped Tour. In 2004, Avenged Sevenfold toured again on the Vans Warped Tour and recorded a video for their song "Unholy Confessions" which went into rotation on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. Shortly after the release of Waking the Fallen, Avenged Sevenfold left Hopeless Records and were signed to Warner Bros. Records.

City of Evil (2005?2007)

City of Evil, the band's third album and major label debut, was released on June 7, 2005 and debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 30,000 copies in its first week of release. It utilized a more epic, classic metal sound than Avenged Sevenfold's previous albums, which had been grouped into the metalcore genre. The album is also notable for the absence of screaming vocals; M. Shadows worked with vocal coach Ron Anderson?whose clients have included Axl Rose and Chris Cornell?for months before the album's release to achieve a sound that had "grit while still having the tone".

They returned to the Vans Warped Tour, this time headlining and then continued on their own "Cities of Evil Tour." In addition, their lead single "Bat Country" reached #2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Charts, #6 on Billboard's Modern Rock Charts and the accompanying video made it to #1 on MTV's Total Request Live. Propelled by this success, the album sold well and became Avenged Sevenfold's first gold record. They would go onto win "Best New Artist" at MTV's Video Music Awards, beating out artists like Rihanna, Panic at the Disco and Chris Brown.

Self-titled album (2007-2008)

Avenged Sevenfold's mainstream success got them an invitation to 2006's Ozzfest tour on the main stage, alongside other well known hard rock and heavy metal acts DragonForce, Lacuna Coil, Hatebreed, Disturbed and System of a Down. That same year they also completed a worldwide tour, including the US, The United Kingdom (as well as mainland Europe), Japan, Australia and New Zealand. After being on tour for sixteen months in promotion of City of Evil, the band announced that they were cancelling their Fall 2006 tour in favor of recording new music. M. Shadows stated that their fourth studio album?which the band self-titled and self-produced?would not be a "City of Evil Part 2" or "Waking the Fallen Part 2," but would incorporate a new, grittier sound. To tide the fans over in between albums, the band released their first DVD titled All Excess on July 17, 2007. All Excess, which debuted as the #1 DVD in the USA, included live performances and backstage footage that spanned the band's eight year career. Two tribute albums, Strung Out on Avenged Sevenfold: Bat Wings and Broken Strings and Strung Out on Avenged Sevenfold: The String Tribute were also released in October 2007.

Avenged Sevenfold, the band's fourth album, was released on October 30, 2007, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 with over 90,000 copies sold. Two singles, "Critical Acclaim" and "Almost Easy" were released prior to the album's debut. In December 2007, an animated video was made for "A Little Piece of Heaven." Due to the song's controversial subject matter, however, Warner Brothers only released it to registered MVI users over the internet. The third single, "Afterlife" and its video was released in January 2008. Their fourth single, "Dear God", was released on September 30, 2008. The self-titled album went onto sell over 500,000 copies and was awarded "Album of the Year" at the Kerrang! Awards.

Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough (2008?2009)

Avenged Sevenfold headlined the 2008 Taste of Chaos tour with Atreyu, Bullet for My Valentine, Blessthefall and Idiot Pilot. They used the footage from their last show in Long Beach for Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough, a two-disc B-sides CD and live DVD which was released on September 16, 2008. They also recorded numerous covers, including Pantera's "Walk," Iron Maiden's "Flash of the Blade" and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" (the first two of which were included on "Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough"). They will also be releasing a Guitar Tutorial DVD, which include the five tracks, Afterlife, Almost Easy, Bat Country, Beast and the Harlot and Trashed And Scattered, breaking down the guitar solos and riffs in each song.

During a sold-out festival performance in Leeds and Reading, the band were forced to shorten their Leeds performance and cancel their Reading performance due to a vocal strain sustained by M. Shadows. A few days later, the band was forced to announce the cancellation of the remaining September shows, with the tour set to resume again on October 15.

Shadows also said in an interview with Loveline that the next record would be a more classic metal, more rock-oriented record, since the self-titled record was very experimental. He also said it would feature more progressive, longer songs and would be the "biggest Avenged Sevenfold record ever." Additionally, he said they were possibly thinking about a concept record.

On July 15, 2009, their website and MySpace page updated with a statement from Shadows implying that work on this next album has started, but they are still "throwing around ideas". This update was on the same day that Waking the Fallen went Gold.

In an interview, vocalist M. Shadows has revealed that after the band will complete their tour with a final performance at the Sonisphere Festival on August 2, they will get in the studio to write and record a new studio album, a follow-up to their self-titled album.

Genre

In general, Avenged Sevenfold is classified as an important and influential band in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal. Their material spans multiple genres and has evolved over the band's ten year career. Initially, Avenged Sevenfold's debut Sounding the Seventh Trumpet consisted almost entirely of metalcore sound; however, there were several deviations to this genre, most notably in "Streets" which adopts a punk style and "Warmness on the Soul," which is a piano-oriented ballad. On Waking The Fallen, the band displayed a more refined and fluent metalcore album that was able to harness the rawness of the first album and add more mature and intricate musical elements. In the band's DVD All Excess, producer Andrew Mudrock explained this transition: "When I met the band after Sounding the Seventh Trumpet had come out before they had recorded Waking the Fallen, M. Shadows said to me 'This record is screaming. The record we want to make is going to be half-screaming half-singing. I don't want to scream anymore. And the record after that is going to be all singing.'" On City of Evil, Avenged Sevenfold's third album, the band chose to abandon the metalcore genre, developing a more punk metal/thrash style. Also, the drumming on both these albums is played in a more thrash-influenced alternative metal style. Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled album, again, consists of several deviations to less consistent genres and styles from the album's main hard rock and heavy metal songs, most notably in "Dear God", which adopts a country style and "A Little Piece of Heaven", which includes elements of Broadway show tunes, using primarily brass instruments and stringed orchestra to take over most of the role of the lead and rhythm guitar. The band has changed considerably since its first album, which since then they have been characterized as a heavy band with screams and growls combined with clean vocals that one can expect from the metalcore genre.

Band name and lyrical content

The band's name is a reference to the Book of Genesis in the Bible - specifically Genesis 4:24, where Cain is sentenced to life in exile for murdering his brother. God marked him so that none would kill him on account of his sin; the man who dared to kill Cain would suffer "vengeance seven times over" (KJV). The abbreviation "A7X" for their band name was the idea of guitarist Zacky Vengeance. The title of Avenged Sevenfold's song "Chapter Four" refers to the fourth chapter of Genesis, in which the story of Cain and Abel takes place. The song's subject also appears to be this story. "Beast and the Harlot", yet another song derived from the Bible, comes from the Book of Revelation only it is written in the first person and refers to the punishment of Babylon the Great, world empire and seat of false religion. Another biblical reference occurs in the song "The Wicked End". In this song, several times it is said "dust the apple off, savor each bite, and deep inside you know Adam was right." making reference to Eve eating the forbidden fruit. Although the band's title and members' stage names make references to religion, Shadows stated in an interview that they are not a religious band. "Anyone that reads the lyrics and really knew anything about us, they would know we're not promoting either," he said. "That's one thing about this band that I love is that we never really shove any kind of, like, political or religious beliefs on people. We just, the music's there to entertain and maybe thought-provoking on both sides, but we don't try to, like, really shove anything down anyone's throat. There's too many bands that do that nowadays, I think." The band has a few songs that are somewhat political in nature like "Critical Acclaim", "Gunslinger" and "Blinded In Chains". The song "Betrayed" off of their album "City of Evil" was written about "Dimebag" Darrel's, of Pantera and Damageplan, death.

The Deathbat

The band sports a logo known as the "Deathbat". It was originally designed by an artistic high school friend of Avenged Sevenfold, Micah Montague, as seen on the band's first DVD, All Excess. The Deathbat has appeared on all of the band's album covers, many of which were done by Cameron Rackam, a close friend of the band. The Deathbat has developed from just being a skull with bat wings, to sometimes appear as a full "man size" skeleton with bat wings, as it can be seen at the cover of City of Evil. On Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, there are pictures of two people (Presumably Cain and Abel), another angel-like human and a semi-opaque Deathbat below it. It also appears on covers of a number of singles such as "Bat Country", "Warmness on the Soul" and "Critical Acclaim."
