  Title: Alter Ego (Peruvian band)
  Passage: Alter Ego is the original Peruvian neo-progressive rock band whose style goes from the ever-changing art rock from the 1990s mixed with new sounds from the 1970s.  Their style crosses between symphonic rock, hard rock to power ballads and R&B.  The band was founded in 1992 by pianist/composer and lead singer Juan Carlos Oganes in Perú (South America), who assembled five other musicians and developed a sound that was rare for the time in that part of the world.  They combined much of the anthem-type compositions of Juan Carlos Oganes with nice and lush vocal harmonies in the style of Queen and Yes.  The album was produced by him and recorded at Emporium Digital Studios.  Alter Ego paid much attention to theatrics and used the cinematographic expertise of Oganes -to create a sense of audiovisual entertainment.  Oganes also directed their videos.  They recorded much material since their first years and many of those songs ended in their 1997 debut album called "Utopia".

  Passage: Portal is an Australian extreme metal band whose style is an unorthodox fusion of death metal with black metal.  The band's hybrid musical style is characterised by heavily distorted guitar riffs, down-tuned rhythms, and vocals ranging from "menacing, echoing" sound effects to guttural grunts.  Writing for "Popmatters", Adrien Begrand noted that "death metal always pretends to be scary, but [...] it's all rather harmless.  That said, however, I make no mistake in saying that the death metal peddled by Australia’s Portal is truly friggin' terrifying".  Lead guitarist Horror Illogium has described Portal's intent as "to capture a cinematic horror scope".  They have released four full-length albums to date, as well as a number of EPs and split releases.  Their most recent album, "Vexovoid", was released in February 2013 on Profound Lore Records.
  Title: Folkhop
  Passage: Folkhop is a genre of music that came about after the death of Bhangra in the mid 1990s.  It is diametrically opposed to Bhangra music in that it is not a live music but instead relies on pre recorded musical parts with only the vocals being sung live along to a live repetitive dhol drum.  The pre recorded music consists of primarily looped rhythm parts from both eastern and western percussion instruments and little to no melody on instruments.  It borrows heavily from hip hop, however it is more traditional than its predecessor, Bhangra which rebelled against tradition and authenticity.  Traditional folk instruments like dhol and tumbi are central to folkhop productions.  Folkhop songs tend to be heavily produced by DJs on computer software.  In the beginning, all songs start out as vocal only recordings that the folk singer records in India.  This 'vocal only' recording is then sold on websites involved in the buying and selling of folkhop music.  The DJs then pay a small sum for the rights to these vocals, and then set the music using looped samples of both hip hop and traditional folk instruments.  The quintessential folkhop artist is the bedroom DJ.
