Metronome is a device used to produce audible beats at regular intervals usually used to produce a steady tempo measured in beats-per-minute (BPM). Its an invaluable tool for musicians during the music creation process.
The good folks at eMusicInstitute have created an online version of metronome, Metronome Online, which provides a dead simple and useful interface. Just select the BPM and press ON and it’s done. It provides a range from 40-208 BPM. The website also has few articles on how to use the metronome and practice music using it.
Another website, Web Metronome, provides the same functionality.

According to Indiainfo.com, New Delhi’s The History Channel, an infotainment television channel, has launched a 17-part special series on classic rock music. The series History Rocks was launched Friday with a concert by the Indian band PARIKRAMA in the capital. It will formally go on air June 5 and will present recordings of memorable concerts, rare documentaries and interviews with the cult figures of music and offer a glimpse into the lives of the rock legends spanning four decades of rock music since the ’60s, a communiqué by the channel said.
“It will be a beautiful series because I watched when it was on television the last time. It is being re-launched with several new additions and new features this time, in a completely new avatar. I am looking forward to its inaugural episode on METALLICA’s Black, the documentary on BOB MARLEY and PINK FLOYD’s Dark Side Of The Moon.
“There is also a docu-feature on Pink Floyd’s signature album, which no other channel has shown before,” Subir Malik of Parikrama told IANS Saturday.
Parikrama played 10 originals, which include two new releases - Lechaim (an Israeli word which means ‘two lives’) and Life Is Certain - for the History Channel concert. Besides, it also paid tribute to JIMI HENDRIX, AC/DC and Pink Floyd.

Orion, a thrash metal band from Pakistan, recently released their debut album, ‘Angel Of Dust’, absolutely free for download from their official website. Orion are Ameer Hamza, Hammad Khan, Hussam Raza, Waqas Ahmed, Imaad Manzar and Bilal Nadeem.
From the band’s website:
ORION is a diverse metal band from Pakistan that is influenced by bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Exodus and Opeth among others. The band was formed in 2006 with the aim of making an album that was not only ground breaking in terms of the Pakistani music scene, but that could hold its own when compared to international releases as well. The album ‘Angel Of Dust’, consists of 10 extremely diverse songs that cover most sub genres of metal. Almost no song is in the exact same style as the other, making this a very refreshing listen from start to finish. From the thrash attack of the opener ‘In The Mouth Of Madness’, to the many twists and turns of the conceptual 10 minute epic ‘The Final Sign’, ‘Angel Of Dust’ will be a great listen for anyone who likes their music with aggression, dynamics and groove, infused with just the right amount of technicality and melody.
