  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Heavy Metal and Classical Literature
    Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 ROCKING THE CANON: HEAVY METAL AND CLASSICAL LITERATURE By Heather L. Lusty University of Nevada, Las Vegas While metalheads around the world embrace the engaging storylines of their favorite songs, the influence of canonical literature on heavy metal musicians does not appear to have garnered much interest from the academic world. This essay considers a wide swath of canonical literature from the Bible through the Science Fiction/Fantasy trend of the 1960s and 70s and presents examples of ways in which musicians adapt historical events, myths, religious themes, and epics into their own contemporary art. I have constructed artificial categories under which to place various songs and albums, but many fit into (and may appear in) multiple categories. A few bands who heavily indulge in literary sources, like Rush and Styx, don’t quite make my own “heavy metal” category. Some bands that sit 101 Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 on the edge of rock/metal, like Scorpions and Buckcherry, do. Other examples, like Megadeth’s “Of Mice and Men,” Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and Cradle of Filth’s “Nymphetamine” won’t feature at all, as the thematic inspiration is clear, but the textual connections tenuous.1 The categories constructed here are necessarily wide, but they allow for flexibility with the variety of approaches to literature and form. A segment devoted to the Bible as a source text has many pockets of variation not considered here (country music, Christian rock, Christian metal).

  • Sascha G. Interviewt Sascha G
    Helloween – Sascha G. interviewt Sascha G. Martin Häusler Viele Fans „anspruchsvoller“ Musik, die Mitte der 1970er geboren sind, dürften in ihrer Jugend ihre ersten Erfahrungen mit Dreizehn-Minuten-Songs, virtuosen Performances und episch aufgebauten Kompositionen voller thematischer Wechsel und Entwicklungen mit den beiden „Keeper Of The Seven Keys“-Alben von Helloween gemacht haben. Metal-Alben, die weit mehr boten, als der Metal der späten Achtziger für gewöhnlich zu bieten hatte und konsequenterweise auch außerhalb des Spartenpublikums viele Fans gewannen – ähnlich wie fast zeitgleich Die Toten Hosen im Punkrock. Wo „die Hosen“ allerdings zum Unmut der Altfans beständig diesen Anspruch weiterverfolgten, verloren Helloween das Mainstream-Publikum bei Line-up-Wechseln und nach dem experimentellen (aber großartigen!) „Chameleon“-Album. Die folgende Rückkehr ins Metal-Genre hielt die Band am Leben, aber eine ganze Reihe Nachwuchsmetaller, die ihrerseits hörbar von Helloween beeinflusst waren, zog langsam an den Innovatoren vorbei. Doch Helloween haben sich in ihrer seit 2005 beständigen Besetzung mit großartigen Alben stetig ihren Platz zurückerkämpft, und als 2016 mit Kai Hansen und Michael Kiske die beiden Ex-Sänger der Band wieder zum festen Line-up stießen, fanden sich Helloween plötzlich genau da, wo sie 1989 gewesen waren: auf der Höhe einer Erfolgswelle. Nun erscheint das erste gemeinsame Album der siebenköpfigen Schlüsselmeister-Truppe – und Gitarrist Sascha Gerstner hat sich die Zeit genommen, Prog-Betreuer Sascha G. (nicht verwandt oder gar identisch), alles Wissenswerte zum „Helloween“-Album zu verraten. Die Rezension zum Album (#TotW auf BetreutesProggen.de i.d. KW24) findet Ihr übrigens genau hier! BP: Noch ein paar Tage, und das Album erscheint, ganz einfach „Helloween“ betitelt.

  • The Eagle Has Landed 40 Live VÖ: 2
    The Eagle Has Landed 40 Live VÖ: 2. August 2019 Militia Guard/Silver Lining/ADA Saxon feiert vier unglaubliche Metal ‐Jahrzehnte mit ‘The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) 1979 war ein monumentales Jahr für den britischen Hard Rock mit der Geburt des New Wave Of British Heavy Metal und dem anschließenden Aufstieg zukünftiger Giganten des Genres. Nach 40 Jahren und 22 Studioalbum‐ Veröffentlichungen zählen Saxon zur Speerspitze und Vorreitern des British Heavy Metal und unterstreichen dies nicht nur mit einer Reihe Kult‐ Shows in legendären Spielstätten sondern mit der Veröffentlichung ‚The Eagle Has Landed 40 Live‘. Auf drei CD’s gibt Saxon einen Einblick über ausgewählte 40 ikonische Songs, die ihre Karriere gefestigt haben. Die Auswahl hat Frontmann und Gründer, Biff Byford selbst getroffen, einen Querschnitt der besten Live Performances, aufgenommen in einer Zeitspanne über 12 Jahre. Von “State of Grace” über “Machine Gun” hin zu “20,000 Ft”, The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) genießt man die Reise mit Saxon: Laut, stolz und nur das Beste mit der Vollblut Band, die sie zu den Vorreitern des Heavy Metal gemacht haben. Saxon lässt das Fanherz auf dieser siegreichen, ungestümen musikalischen Fahrt höher schlagen: Auftritte für die Menschenmassen in Wacken, die treuen Anhänger in Berlin, die mad dogs und Englishmen in England und natürlich Shows in internationalen Venues. Selbstredend ist das Tribute für ihre alten Freunde Motörhead dabei mit dem aufwühlenden „They Played Rock’n‘Roll“ und einem Cover von Ace Of Spades mit dem von uns gegangenen Fast Eddie Clarke. Um die „Motörsaxon“ Magie zu vervollständigen gibt es ein fulminantes „747 (Strangers in The Night)“ mit Phil Campbell, aufgenommen 2015 in Helsinki.
