    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.

    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

  • Pressemitteilung Zu Obituary
    Pressemitteilung zu Obituary Die amerikanischen Death Metaller Obituary präsentieren ihr neues Album „Obituary“ (Relapse) am 25.03.18 im Logo live Hamburg, November 2017 – Im Sommer 2017 gab es nur zwei Shows in Deutschland, jetzt kommen Obituary für eine komplette Tour wieder nach Deutschland. Die Death Metal-Protagonisten aus Florida haben weitere sieben Shows im März 2018 gebucht, um ihr am 16.03.17 erschienenes zehntes Top 30-Album „Obituary“ (Relapse) live vorzustellen. Das Quintett um Frontmann John Tardy tritt in Hamburg am 25.03.18 im Logo auf. Obituary aus Tampa/Florida haben mit Alben wie „Slowly We Rot“ (1989) oder „Cause Of Death“ (1990) Genre-definierende Klassiker geschaffen und zählen zu den einflussreichsten Death Metal-Bands überhaupt, ihr eigenständiger Sound ist geprägt von simplen und einprägsamen Gitarrenriffs sowie vom Gesang von John Tardy. Nach nur zwei Shows im August 2017 (Summer Breeze Festival und Dortmund) kommen die legendären Death Metaller zurück nach Deutschland, um ihr im März 2017 erschienenes zehntes Album „Obituary“ (Relapse Records) zu promoten. 1984 gründen die Brüder John (v) und Donald Tardy (dr) Xecutioner, die sich kurz vor dem Erscheinen des Debüts „Slowly We Rot“ im Jahr 1989 in Obituary umbenennen. Zusammen mit ihrem Produzenten Scott Burns erschaffen sie damit im inzwischen legendären Morrisound Studio einen Meilenstein des Death Metal, an dem sich alle Nachfolger orientieren. Obituarys Erfolg trägt maßgeblich zur Etablierung des Nischen-Genres Death Metal bei. Dabei sind sie im Laufe der Jahre mit ihrem eigenen Sound, den stetigen Tempiwechsel und dem unvergleichbaren Gesangsstil von John Tardy eine unverwechselbare Größe geworden. Mit den einigen der folgenden Alben wie zum Beispiel Pressekontakt: Erik Sabas +49 40 4133018-40 [email protected] river_concerts www.riverconcerts.de River Concerts „The End Complete” (1992), „World Demise” (1994) und „Frozen in Time” (2005) zementieren sie ihren Ruf als eine der eigenständigsten und wichtigsten Bands ihres Genres.

Heavy-metal in the 1970s was Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Kiss, AC/DC, Journey, Boston, Rush, and it was the most theatrical and brutal of rock genres. It was not easy to reconcile this genre with the anti-heroic ethos of the punk era. It could have seemed almost impossible to revive that genre, that was slowly dying, in an era that valued the exact opposite of machoism, and that was producing a louder and noisier genre, hardcore. Instead, heavy metal began its renaissance in the same years of the new wave, capitalizing on the same phenomenon of independent labels. Credit goes largely to a British contingent of bands, that realized how they could launch a "new wave of British heavy metal" during the new wave of rock music. Motorhead (1), formed by ex-Hawkwind bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilminster, were the natural bridge between heavy metal, Stooges/MC5 and punk-rock. They played demonic, relentless rock'n'roll at supersonic speed: Iron Horse (1977), Metropolis (1979), Bomber (1979), Jailbait (1980), Iron Fist (1982), etc.
