Lividity (album)

Lividity is the third full-length studio album by American metalcore band It Dies Today. Originally scheduled for release in 2008, the album's release date was repeatedly pushed back by Trustkill Records. It was finally released on September 15, 2009. It is the band's first album featuring Jason Wood on vocals after the departure of former lead singer and founding member Nicholas Brooks.

A "Deluxe Edition" was released on the same date, which included a bonus DVD. The bonus DVD features a 37 minute "making of" documentary, entitled "Faking the Record" (including a secondary audio track featuring commentary by the band themselves), a "making of" featurette for the "Thank You for Drinking" video, as well as the video itself. The video appears to be a "preliminary" or "rough" cut (production notes and counters are visible, with header/footer bars), although it is not clear if this was done intentionally, or if the video was not yet finalized at the time of the pressing.

"@" (album)

"@" is a studio album by John Zorn and Thurston Moore. It is the first collaborative album by the duo and was recorded in New York City in February, 2013 and released by Tzadik Records in September 2013. The album consists of improvised music by Zorn and Moore that was recorded in the studio in real time with no edits or overdubs.

Reception

Allmusic said "@ finds two of New York City's longest-running fringe dwellers churning out sheets of collaborative sounds that conjoin their respective and distinct states of constant freak-out... These seven improvisations sound inspired without feeling at all heavy-handed or urgent. More so, @ succeeds with the type of conversational playing that could only be achieved by two masters so deep into their craft that it probably feels a lot like breathing to them by now".

?! (album)

?! is the third studio album by Italian rapper Caparezza, and his first release not to use the former stage name MikiMix.

Reception

Reviewing the album for Allmusic, Jason Birchmeier wrote, "The Italian rapper drops his rhymes with just as much fluency and dexterity as his American peers throughout the album. [...] Caparezza's mastery of the Italian dialect [makes] this album so stunning."

Livor mortis

Livor mortis (Latin: livor—"bluish color," mortis—"of death"), postmortem lividity (Latin: postmortem—"after death", lividity—"black and blue"), hypostasis (Greek: hypo, meaning "under, beneath"; stasis, meaning "a standing") or suggillation, is one of the signs of death. Livor mortis is a settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body, causing a purplish red discoloration of the skin. When the heart stops functioning and is no longer agitating the blood, heavy red blood cells sink through the serum by action of gravity.

Livor mortis starts in 20–30 minutes. Then color becomes purplish red in next 1–3 hours. Size of patches increase in next 3–6 hours. Maximum lividity occurs within 6–12 hours. The blood pools into the interstitial tissues of the body. The intensity of the color depends upon the amount of reduced hemoglobin in the blood. The discoloration does not occur in the areas of the body that are in contact with the ground or another object, in which capillaries are compressed. As the vessel walls become permeable due to decomposition, blood leaks through them and stains the tissue. This is the reason for fixation of hypostasis.
