The "Doomsday" device is a hypothetical construction an unusual machine which could destroy all life on the Earth, or destroy the Earth itself (bringing "doomsday", a term used for the end of the world).
Doomsday devices have been present in literature and art especially in the twentieth century, when advances in science and technology allowed humans to fantasize in a definite way about the possibility of actively destroying the world or all life on it (or at least human life). Many classics in the genre of science fiction take up the theme in this respect, especially The Purple Cloud (1901) by M.P. Shiel in which the accidental release of a chemical gas kills all people on the planet. (Weart 1988)After the advent of nuclear weapons, especially hydrogen bombs, have usually been the dominant components of fictional doomsday devices. RAND strategist Herman Kahn proposed a"Doomsday Machine" in the 1950s which would consist of a computer linked to a stockpile of hydrogen bombs, programmed to detonate them all and bathe the planet in nuclear fallout at the signal of an impeding nuclear attack from another nation. Such a scheme, fictional as it was, epitomized for many the extremes of the suicidal logic behind the strategy of mutually assured destruction, and it was famously parodied in the Stanley Kubrick film from 1964, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It is also a main topic of the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes, in parallel with the species extermination theme. Most such models either rely on the fact that hydrogen bombs can be made indefinitely large (see Teller-Ulam design) or that they can be "salted" with materials designed to create long-lasting and hazardous fallout (e.g. a cobalt bomb). Such a theme was used in a two-part episode of The Bionic Woman.Use of multiple nuclear weapons causing the destruction or virtual destruction of all life on Earth as a type of doomsday scenario has been used in several fictional stories including Nevil Shute's On the Beach and David Graham's Down to a Sunless Sea.A number of nations continue to maintain nuclear stockpiles in the thousands of warheads which could be potentially used to a similar end (see, e.g., the idea of nuclear winter). The Soviet Union built the world's only doomsday device, known originally as the "dead hand." The Russian dead hand is designed to launch the bulk of the country's nuclear forces in the event of a decapitating strike, utilizing specially designed rockets carrying radio equipment. The device may still exist under the code name Radial Drop.Radial Drop are a 6 piece metal band. Blending heavy metal riffs with scratching and samples, guttural screams , and beats to get your head nodding. Made up of Dave and Seb on guitars, simon on bass and Mark on drums. Kev supplies samples and Craig?s vocal chords take batterings on a regular basis.
Formed 3 years ago initially by Seb, Kev and Mark with Dan on guitars and vocals. Then Dave joined and Dan left (!?!), craig joined then big dave left and simon joined. Now they have got much harder, much darker and got alot tighter. The band have quickly got used to playing as a unit and became intuitive in playing together - more riffs and songs are coming together. Now the live shows begin, this is where the band really hone their craft getting harder and tighter as they get more shows under their belt.
Recording will begin april with a quick lockout session stint in eastbourne with the biddies, so the " EP will be coming out soon.
