Closer Look Into Transparent: Light in Darkness

Transparent is a new band coming out of Hornell, New York made up of band members Matthew Sassano lead singer and songwriter, guitarist Bradley Meise, guitarist Quintin Olix, Robert Cox on bass, drummer Jesse Sprinkle and Ben Taft the screamer. Their debut album "Light in Darkness" is due out later this year, and we got a chance to listen to the album firsthand before it's released. The new album features 11 original songs including their new single, which can be heard when navigating the menus of the new Xbox 360 game NASCAR The Game: Inside Line.

You can read our review of NASCAR The Game: Inside Line where we noted one of the best features in the new racing title was its excellent sound design which was obviously boosted from the inclusion of the hit single "Bridges" from the Light in Darkness album. Light in Darkness itself is an emotional and inspirational trip that will have you rocking from the first track all the way to the album's end. The band features many different sounds on the album while giving creative nods to all-time great bands.

Rock fans will enjoy the riffs of the guitar, strumming of the bass and thumping tones of the drums, and listening to the songs is a great way to sit back and enjoy your games even more whether you're racing around the track at over 100 miles per hour in NASCAR The Game: Inside Line, pwning some noobs in Halo 4 or head-shotting some zombies in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Still, the most impressive thing Light in Darkness does is establish this young, up and coming band as a real contender in the music industry with lyrics any fan of music can appreciate and thoroughly enjoy.

You'll want to check out Light in Darkness when it releases later this year, and Transparent has also released the official music video for Bridges which can be seen below. The video was created with the combined efforts of a group of digital media students over at Alfred State College, and the band is currently touring the area with upcoming shows scheduled for Friday, November 30, 2012 at Genesee Valley High School in Belmont, New York and Davis College in Johnson City, New York on Friday, December 7, 2012.

Transparent is currently in the middle of a tour of about 40-50 shows running through next year where they will tour six states and Canada, so they may be coming to a town near you soon!

Master Your Aim: Why Every FPS Gamer Needs a Mouse Sensitivity Converter

Say goodbye to floaty aiming and missed flick shots. Here is how math—and a simple tool—can keep your muscle memory razor-sharp across every shooter you play. Whether you are dropping into Valorant for a quick competitive match, warming up in Counter-Strike 2 , or grinding ranked in Apex Legends , every FPS player shares a common goal: hitting shots with absolute precision . Yet, millions of gamers run into a frustrating wall every time they launch a new title—their crosshair feels floaty, sluggish, or way too fast. The problem isn't your mouse, your mousepad, or your skill. The problem is that in-game sensitivity numbers are completely different across game engines . A 1.0 sensitivity in Valorant is dramatically faster than a 1.0 in CS2 or Apex Legends . "Your arm muscles don't learn slider numbers—they learn physical distance on your mousepad. Converting your sensitivity protects hours of built...

Blood, Salt, and Unconditional Love: Why Sam and Dean Winchester Transcended Television

When Supernatural debuted on television screens back in 2005, it posed as a gritty, urban-legend-of-the-week horror show. Two brothers in a black 1967 Chevy Impala riding down dark American backroads, hunting ghosts, wendigos, and demons. But as the seasons turned into a fifteen-year legacy, viewers realized the monsters were never the main plot. The true heartbeat of the show was an intense, unwavering bond between two brothers willing to tear down heaven and earth for each other. "There is no me without you. I'm telling you, raised by a hunter, lived like one my whole life... I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if it means losing you? I can't do it." — Dean Winchester More Than Fighting Evil: The Connection We Long For In a world built on fleeting relationships, social media connections, and conditional dynamics, Sam and Dean offered something modern humanity rarely glimpses: absolute, radical devotion . They were flawe...
