OBP 064 CRIPPLE BASTARDS "Desperately Insensitive" CD CRIPPLE BASTARDS are known throughout the grinding underground as “Italy’s Purest Manifestation of Hate” and one listen to any of their incendiary releases from any point in their almost-2 decade-long career bears this out beyond a shadow of a doubt. With the release of “Desperately Insensitive”, the band have truly coalesced their influences as well as their experience into a seamlessly ferocious, utterly overpowering experience. Showcasing their propensity for progressing the Grindcore medium while never slackening their attack, CRIPPLE BASTARDS have pushed themselves far beyond their own precedents. Unceasingly up-tempo, “Desperately Insensitive” processes post-hardcore, brutal Death Metal, fast-core, noise/math-core and of course, the essential ingredient of Grindcore through their own barbaric, trademark sound. Featuring elements of dissonance and angularity that would have sounded out of place on some of their previous recordings, “Desperately Insensitive” stands clearly above not only the band’s previous work, but above the work of the vast majority of their peers. Recorded by at Nadir Studios Tommy Talamanca of Italian Metal act SADIST, “Desperately Insensitive” is only made more powerful and aggressive by the clean and crisp sound. Each of the 19 tracks is in-your-face, rude, and undeniable. The savagely ferocious drums provoke the massive wall of spiteful guitars and vicious bass to dizzying heights and depths of extremity and Giulio the Bastard’s manic screams assault the listener from all directions, from frantic Japcore screams, to subsonic Death grunts and pissed-off Hardcore bursts. The power and vision of CRIPPLE BASTARDS is irrefutable. The band’s anti-politically-correct lyrics attack everyone, and especially the hypocrisy of the punk/HC scene, no holds barred, brutal spite, made even more vitriolic by GTB’s relentless vocal delivery. In short this album is delivers on all counts, with its stylistically sadistic artwork, caustic lyrics, and of course, its monolithic Grindcore attack. Obscene Productions is proud to provide you a special re-edition of this masterpiece including over half an hour of bonus material (their whole Obscene Extreme 2003 set with an incredibly tight and powerful sound, with no doubt the best CB live mix ever heard) and a completely new packaging FEATURING unreleased pics of the infamous granny torture snuff session that brought the bastards to a long trial in Italy. For any die-hard fan of this immortal Grind/Hate mafia commando... another essential classic.

    CANNIBAL CORPSE 05. Juli 2019 | Stuttgart-Wangen, LKA/Longhorn Gäste: Traitor Der Name CANNIBAL CORPSE weckt viele Assoziationen, aber nur ein Wort trifft zu ihrer Beschreibung den Nagel auf den Kopf: unaufhaltsam. Die Death-Metal-Veteranen veröffentlichen 2017 ihr monströses 14. Studioalbum „Red Before Black“. Damit wiederkäuen sie keineswegs Altbekanntes, sondern legen die Messlatte einmal mehr höher an als zuvor und stellen eindeutig klar, wer die Standards setzt, wenn es darum geht, zwingende Musik zu machen, die gleichzeitig brutal und komplex ist. Zudem treibt sich die Band immer wieder zu neuen Extremen an, um sicherzugehen, dass ihre jeweils neusten Songs aus ihrem bisherigen Katalog hervorragen. Auch dank der Produktion von Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Goatwhore) beweist ‘Red Before Black’, dass die Jungs keineswegs Altbekanntes wiederkäuen, sondern legen die Messlatte einmal mehr höher an als zuvor und stellen eindeutig klar, wer die Standards setzt, wenn es darum geht, zwingende Musik zu machen, die gleichzeitig brutal und komplex ist. Zudem hat sich die Band abermals angespornt, um sicherzugehen, dass die Scheibe aus ihrem bisherigen Katalog hervorsticht. "Im Laufe unserer Karriere versuchten wir immer, uns zu verbessern, sowohl in puncto Präzision beim Zusammenspielen, als auch auf produktionstechnischer Seite, ohne an Aggressivität einzubüßen. 'Red Before Black' setzt diese Tradition fort, ist aber vermutlich noch starker auf das Aggressive hin ausgerichtet. Präzise klingt das Album definitiv, zugleich aber auch so roh wie kaum etwas, das wir in jüngerer Zeit gemacht haben", findet Bassist Alex Webster. "wir haben uns ungeheuer angestrengt, um diese Songs auszuarbeiten, zu proben und auf das Niveau zu hieven, das uns vorschwebte, mehr noch als im Rahmen unserer letzten Alben", fügt Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz hinzu.

  • GOREGRIND​​: Música Extrema E Política ​​Underground1 Evelyn
    GOREGRIND: música extrema e política underground1 ​ ​ Evelyn Christine da Silva Matos2 Resumo Este estudo relata pontos centrais que definem o gênero musical goregrind. A ​ ​ análise visa delinear o estilo, atentando a nuances e pertinências deste na vida social urbana. Utiliza-se dos conceitos “subcultura” e “cultura juvenil” nas reflexões, além de atender à legitimação baseada em compreensões simbólicas e sensoriais para formação de grupos; e situa o paradigma da hegemonia através da tradição e da normalização dos formatos sociais a fim de aproximar estilos que o subvertem. O artigo contribui com a apresentação do underground por meio de um dos estilos que o corresponde e encaminha à concepção parceira entre estilos subversivos da modernidade e pós-modernidade. Palavras-chave: música extrema; underground; cena. Abstract This study reports central points that define the musical genre goregrind. The analysis aims to delineate the style, considering the nuances and pertinences of this in urban social life. The concepts "subculture" and "youth culture" are used in the reflections, in addition to attending the legitimation based on symbolic and sensorial understandings for group formation; and situates the paradigm of hegemony through tradition and the normalization of social formats in order to approximate styles that subvert it. The article contributes to the presentation of the underground through one of the styles that corresponds to it and leads to the conception of the subversive styles of modernity and postmodernity. Key-words: extreme music; underground; scene. 1 Artigo submetido à 31ª Reunião Brasileira de Antropologia, realizada entre os dias 09 e 12 de dezembro de 2018, Brasília/DF.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2004-2019. 2277. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd/2277 THEMATIC PATTERNS IN MILLENNIAL HEAVY METAL: A LYRICAL ANALYSIS by EVAN CHABOT B.A. University of Florida, 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Sociology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2012 ABSTRACT Research on heavy metal music has traditionally been framed by deviant characterizations, effects on audiences, and the validity of criticism. More recently, studies have neglected content analysis due to perceived homogeneity in themes, despite evidence that the modern genre is distinct from its past. As lyrical patterns are strong markers of genre, this study attempts to characterize heavy metal in the 21st century by analyzing lyrics for specific themes and perspectives. Citing evidence that the “Millennial” generation confers significant developments to popular culture, the contemporary genre is termed “Millennial heavy metal” throughout, and the study is framed accordingly.

  • Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers
    This article has been accepted for publication in a revised form by Popular Music and end- users may view and download the material for private research and study only. Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Dr Niall Thomas University of Winchester Dr Andrew King University of Hull Abstract The study of the recorded artefact from a musicological perspective continues to unfold through contemporary research. Whilst an understanding of the scientific elements of recorded sound is well documented the exploration of the artistic nature of this endeavour from a production viewpoint is still developing. This study presents an understanding of the phenomenological aspects of Heavy Metal music from the perspective of seven renowned producers working within this genre. Through a series of interviews and subsequent in-depth analysis particular sonic qualities are identified as key within the production of this work: impact; energy; precision; and extremity. A framework is then put forward for understanding sonic elements of recorded Heavy Metal Music. Keywords: recording; Heavy Metal; production; producers; phenomenology Introduction The twenty-first century provides a rich source of creative opportunity through digital technology for practicing musicians to record music. The affordances of the digital revolution have subsequently changed the opportunities for those involved in the creation of such works. Technology enables those who could be described as amateur music makers the opportunity to record music with relative ease. The democratisation of technology has meant that mobile devices can become pocket sized recording studios (Leyshon, 2009), whilst affordable solutions and emulations of previously prohibitively expensive computing and recording technology are readily available via the Internet.

  • Extreme Metal: Subculture, Genre, and Structure
    Université de Montréal Extreme metal: Subculture, Genre, and Structure par Samaël Pelletier Université de Montréal Faculté de Musique Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maîtrise en musique option musicologie avril 2018 © Samaël Pelletier. 2018 Abstract Extreme metal is a conglomeration of numerous subgenres with shared musical and discursive tendencies. For the sake of concision, the focus throughout this thesis will mainly be on death metal and black metal – two of the most popular subgenres categorized under the umbrella of extreme metal. Each chapter is a comparative analysis of death metal and black metal from different perspectives. Thus, Chapter One is historical account of extreme metal but also includes discussions pertaining to iconography and pitch syntax. Subsequently, Chapter Two concerns itself with the conception of timbre in death metal and black metal. More specifically, timbre will be discussed in the context of sound production as well as timbre derived from performance, in particular, vocal distortion. The conception of rhythm/meter will be discussed in Chapter Three which will simultaneously allow for a discussion of the fluidity of genre boundaries between death metal and progressive metal – largely because of the importance placed on rhythm by the latter subgenre. Instead of a focus on musical practices, Chapter Four will instead take a sociological approach with the aim of answering certain issues raised in the first three chapters. Ultimately, this thesis aims to elucidate two questions: What are the different aesthetic intentions between practitioners of death metal and black metal? And, how do fans conceptualize these aesthetic differences? Sarah Thornton’s notion of subcultural capital – which is derived from Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of cultural capital – will help to answer such questions.

  • Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Abstract
    Production Perspectives of Heavy Metal Record Producers Dr Niall Thomas University of Winchester – [email protected] Dr Andrew King University of Hull – [email protected] Abstract The study of the recorded artefact from a musicological perspective continues to unfold through contemporary research. Whilst an understanding of the scientific elements of recorded sound is well documented the exploration of the production and the artistic nature of this endeavour is still developing. This article explores phenomenological aspects of producing Heavy Metal music from the perspective of seven renowned producers working within the genre. Through a series of interviews and subsequent in-depth analysis particular sonic qualities are identified as key within the production of this work: impact; energy; precision; and extremity. A conceptual framework is then put forward for understanding the production methodology of recorded Heavy Metal Music, and, how developing technology has influenced the production of the genre. Keywords: recording; Heavy Metal; production; producers; phenomenology Introduction The affordances of digital technology have significantly changed the opportunities for practicing musicians to record music. Technology enables even amateur music makers the opportunity to record music with relative ease. The democratisation of technology has meant that mobile devices can become pocket sized recording studios (Leyshon, 2009), whilst affordable solutions and emulations of prohibitively expensive computing and recording technology are readily available via the Internet. The technology associated with certain aspects of music making is now more widespread and enables a new sense of creative musical freedom; music producers command a limitless array of technological choices. Despite the benefits of the ever-increasing rate of technological development, the recording industry is changing dramatically, and with it, the production perspectives of record producers.

"It’s kind of in the middle": The ‘Mid-Fi’ Aesthetic: Toward a New Designation of Black Metal Aesthetic of Recording. The Case of the Qué- bec Black Metal Scene. In J.-O. Gullö (Ed.), Proceedings of the 12th Art of Record Production Conference Mono: Stereo: Multi (pp. 267-286). Stock-holm: Royal College of Music (KMH) & Art of Record Production. Méi-Ra St-Laurent: "It’s kind of in the middle": The ‘Mid-Fi’ Aesthetic: Toward a New Designation of Black Metal Aesthetic of Recording. The Case of the Québec Black Metal Scene Abstract The designation of the black metal sound as “lo-fi” by academics is problem- atic, since it doesn’t reflect the contemporary black metal production. Field- work in the Québec scene show that the members designate their sound as being “in the middle” – or mid-fi as I advocate it. In this paper, I first define “hi-fi”, “lo-fi”, “authenticity” and “mid-fi” in the context of black metal. Then, I present different black metal sound aesthetic using audio extracts, frequency analysis, spectrogram images and ethnographic data. This analysis allow better qualify black metal aesthetic production today using the Québec scene as an example. Introduction Between April 2015 and December 2017, I conducted nineteen ethnographic interviews with twenty-five members of the black metal scene in the prov- ince of Québec (Canada) as a part of my doctoral thesis in musicology1.
