Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,

Ross my sweet, the PC was a huge hit. Got the brand you recommended bigger processor and smaller screen than I had originally discussed with you which took care of the battery life issues. Thanks my friend. I knew I could count on you. Bitty says 'Thanks!" too.
