On average, this is the second largest waterfowl species after the trumpeter swan, although male mute swans can easily match or even exceed a male trumpeter in mass. Males are larger than females and have a larger knob on their bill. Description Īdults of this large swan typically range from 140 to 160 cm (55 to 63 in) long, although can range in extreme cases from 125 to 170 cm (49 to 67 in), with a 200 to 240 cm (79 to 94 in) wingspan. Fossils from the Pleistocene include Cygnus paloregonus from Fossil Lake, Oregon, Froman's Ferry, Idaho, and Arizona, referred to by Howard in The Waterfowl of the World as "probably the mute type swan". The latest find was in Anza Borrego Desert, a state park in California. The timeline runs from the Miocene to the late Pleistocene, or 10,000 BP. states: California, Arizona, Idaho and Oregon. Cygnus olor bergmanni, which differed only in size from the living bird, is known from fossils found in Azerbaijan.įossils of swan ancestors more distantly allied to the mute swan have been found in four U.S. They have been recorded from Ireland east to Portugal and Italy, and from France, 13,000 BP (Desbrosse and Mourer-Chauvire 1972–1973). Mute swan subfossils, 6,000 years old, have been found in post-glacial peat beds of East Anglia, Great Britain. The species is monotypic, with no living subspecies. ĭespite its Eurasian origin, its closest relatives are the black swan of Australia and the black-necked swan of South America, not the other Northern Hemisphere swans of the genus Cygnus. Both cygnus and olor mean "swan" in Latin cygnus is a variant form of cycnus, a borrowing from Greek κύκνος kyknos, a word of the same meaning. Heldigvis oppveies dette av ekstremt dyktige aktører som for eksempel: Flower Kings, Mostly Autumn og White Willow, for å nevne noen tilfeldig valgte.The mute swan was first formally described by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin as Anas olor in 1789, and was transferred by Johann Matthäus Bechstein to the new genus Cygnus in 1803.

Må jo også få med at jeg rimelig kritisk, og jeg mener at det lages mye prog som er i beste fall uinteressant, og faktisk mye som er pinlig dårlig. Til fest derimot holder bare rendyrket prog!

På den annen side kan musikk med eller uten progressive elementer være godt nok til hverdags. Ikke overraskende mener jeg at progressiv musikk har den fineste "smaken". Slikt krydderet finner man blant annet i musikk. Da er sjansen stor for at jeg utvikler meg og lærer, noe som bør være drivstoff for et hvert menneske.įordi det å lære og utvikle seg er noe som tilfører livet en nødvendig porsjon "krydder". God musikk til å trigge mine musikalske smaksløker, og til å sette i gang mine refleksjoner. Jeg søker god musikk for å utfordre meg som lytter. Sjangerbegrepet er egentlig temmelig uinteressant annet enn til å gi en pekepinn om hva slags musikk det er snakk om i en anmeldelse. Jeg er på ingen måte ensporet innen musikksmak, i likhet med intensjonen bak prog. Mitt hovedfokus er musikk som er basert på progressiv tenking. In 2013 Hiss From The Moat released their debut full-length, Misanthropy. Back then the band played a more deathcore focused. Three years later the group self-released their debut EP, The Carved Flesh Message which they supported by performing alongside the likes of Psycroptic, Skeletonwitch and The Black Dahlia Murder. Payne formed Hiss From The Moat with two Italian friends in 2006, bassist/vocalist Carlo Cremascoli and guitarist Giacomo Poli, when he was just 18 years old. «The lyrics, instead, are composed from extracts of sacred and political texts (as it’s indicated from the inscription in brackets) that, isolated and used in a more direct way, express and show how violent and brutal these books are, and sums up a good part of what the album itself talks about». The instrumental part is composed by many dynamic parts that create crescendos that then explode into more opened and epic parts, which is also how we composed the album itself - powerful, but not only fast, explains drummer James Payne. « The Harrier, represents the identity of the album both for the instrumental part and the lyrics. The transcontinental band founded by acclaimed drummer James Payne (Vital Remains, Hour of Penance), have unveiled a video for the title track of their sophomore album The Harrier, due out via M-Theory Audio on February 22, 2019. The band plays a mix of death metal and black metal. The musicians in the band Hiss From The Moat lives in Milano, Los Angeles and London. Band with musicians living different places in the world is relatively common now.
