I Mitici Machine Head Special Guest Dei Metallica I MITICI MACHINE HEAD SPECIAL GUEST DEI METALLICA Sale alle stelle l’attesa per l’unica tappa italiana dello straordinario “Black Album” Tour dei METALLICA! Sin dalle prime battute il concerto in programma domenica 13 maggio allo Stadio Friuli di Udine si preannuncia come un vero evento che resterà a lungo nella storia dei live in Italia:sono già 25mila i biglietti staccati in meno di venti giorni dall’apertura delle vendite, di cui ben 13 mila sono stati acquistati da fan provenienti dall’estero, con un picco nelle vicine Slovenia, Croazia e Austria, ma una presenza omogenea in tutto il Vecchio Continente. A potenziare ulteriormente l’adrenalinica scarica di energia che verrà trasmessa ai numerosissimi fan, i METALLICA annunciano oggi un nuovo Special Guest che li precederà sul palco dello Stadio Friuli: si tratta degli statunitensi MACHINE HEAD , una tra le heavy metal band più seguite ed apprezzate dalla critica e dagli amanti del genere musicale, che ha venduto oltre 2 milioni di dischi nel corso della propria carriera e vanta più di mezzo milione di fan sul social network Facebook. I MACHINE HEAD, formatisi in California agli inizi degli anni Novanta, annoverati nell’Olimpo delle migliori band metal si sono distinti particolarmente per aver spaziato in vari ambiti della musica metal: dal thrash dei primi anni, arrivando al nu metal per poi ritornare alle origini attraverso degli importanti richiami di groove metal. Nell’estate del 1994 venne pubblicato il loro primo album “Burn My Eyes”, che decretò il successo quasi istantaneo del gruppo tanto da essere inserito nei più significativi lavori thrash metal di tutti i tempi, assieme a dischi del calibro di “Reign in Blood” degli Slayer e ovviamente “Master of Puppets” dei Metallica. La svolta stilistica della band avvenne nel 1999 con il disco “The Burning Red” che presentò per la prima volta elementi propri del nu metal come l’assenza di assoli chitarristici e dei ritmi sincopati mixati a parti rappate nei testi. Anche questo disco fu un successo e li portò nella Top 100 della classifica americana di Billboard. Dopo alcuni anni di alti e bassi che li avevano portati all’allontanamento dall’etichetta discografica RoadRunner Records, i MACHINE HEAD MACHINE HEAD band Americana special guest dei METALLICA ri-firmano il contratto e pubblicano il primo album dal vivo “Hellalive” e un nuovo disco in studio “Through the Ashes of Empires” che prevedendo un parziale ritorno al sound groove degli inizi li riporta ai vertici di tutte le classifiche di gradimento, soprattutto per le performance live che li vedono vincere il titolo di miglior band ai prestigiosi Rock Am Ring e Download Festival, due tra le rassegne musicali più importanti del mondo. Nel 2007 con “The Blackening”, la band capitanata dal cantante chitarrista Robb Flynn e dal bassista Adam Duce ritorna definitivamente alle sonorità del primo lavoro ricevendo recensioni molto positive e arrivando ad essere considerato il migliore album metal dell’anno, infatti si aggiudicano ben due premi (Best Album e Golden God) ai Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. Un’ulteriore consacrazione per i MACHINE HEAD arriva a settembre dello scorso anno con l’ultima fatica discografica intitolata “Unto the Locust”, continuazione del precedente lavoro e volata alla posizione 22 nella classifica di Billboard, miglior risultato mai ottenuto dal gruppo statunitense. I MACHINE HEAD si vanno ad aggiungere ai già annunciati GOJIRA Gojira altro asso nella manica per il concerto dei Metallica del 13 maggio rendendo ancora più unico l’appuntamento in programma domenica 13 maggio, organizzato da Live Nation in collaborazione con Azalea Promotion e con il supporto della Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, del Comune di Udine e dell’Agenzia TurismoFVG.

Good for the casual fans, maybe a bit of a letdown for the hardcore onesBy Stefan TopuzovMachine Head is probably my favorite band ever. And I have been following them very closely for about a decade and a half now, reading all the available interviews they had given, digging old news articles from their earlier periods, building up a ridiculously extensive collection of old magazine scans, live bootlegs, TV appearances and what not...And maybe because of that, this book was a bit of a let down for me because it didn't provide anything that I didn't already know. In fact, a few times I actually felt I knew more than what was actually in the book.Then again, I gave the book to my father, who's also a fan of rock and metal. He read it, loved it, and decided to look deeper into the band and now he blasts The Blackening and Burn My Eyes every now and then.So, basically, how much you'll like this book – or if you need to purchase it – depends on how deep into the band you are.

  • The Distortion Paradox
    9 The Numbers of the Beast Surveying Iron Maiden’s Global Tribe1 Jean-Philippe Ury-Petesch In Les Nouvelles Tribus Urbaines (1999), Valérie Fournier argues that most of the contemporary examples of youth tribes or subcultural ‘styles’ are iden- tified by their relationship to music genres. This chapter will focus attention on the Iron Maiden tribe, who can be considered a representative segment of the global heavy metal tribus, who were encountered via an Internet sur- vey carried out between December 2007 and July 2009. Over four thousand (4,456) computer literate Maiden fans, from 70 countries, answered the 135 questions that made up the ‘Ironthesis’ on-line questionnaire survey, in this period. Accordingly, the aims of this chapter are threefold. First, to describe how this global survey was conceived and conducted, paying atten- tion to the issues of gathering large social data sets via the Internet and, in particular, how to overcome geographical and language barriers, so that the survey could be as representative as possible. Second, to describe and illustrate the global scale of the survey in terms of the number of fans that participated, their nationalities, and their countries of residence. Third, to record the social morphology of these fans, in terms of age, gender, resi- dence, education, employment, social background, marital status, religious beliefs, political affiliation, and so on and to discuss this data in relation to previous national and regional survey findings and debates about heavy metal fandom, particularly but not exclusively in France, Germany, and North America. Ironthesis: Seven Languages to Speak to Maiden Fans around the World In this section, we discuss the target population we wished to survey, the writing of the questionnaire itself, and the process of developing the e-version (including the host website where it would be made available), in relation to existing heavy metal research and debates about social science methodologies.

  • MACHINE HEAD ANNOUNCE “THE EIGHTH PLAGUE” TOUR! Oakland, CA - Off on the Distant Horizon What Appears to Be a Massive Cloud Can Be Seen Blackening the Sky
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 23, 2011 MACHINE HEAD ANNOUNCE “THE EIGHTH PLAGUE” TOUR! Oakland, CA - Off on the distant horizon what appears to be a massive cloud can be seen blackening the sky. As it gets closer it becomes obvious that the "cloud" is no cloud at all, but a massive swarm preparing to descend on the shores of Europe and the U.K.. "The Eighth Plague" tour will make land on November 2nd and rip a swath across the landscape with a magnitude heretofore unseen. MACHINE HEAD, in support of their newest crushing release "Unto The Locust" (out late September 2011) will collide with the land and lay waste to every city in their path. Accompanied by very special guests Bring Me The Horizon as well as DevilDriver and Darkest Hour, "The Eighth Plague" tour promises to be the most exciting, hard-hitting tour in recent memory. "This will no doubt be the heaviest show you're going to see this year" states Machine Head frontman and guitarist Robb Flynn. "A lot of the greatest shows of our last touring cycle were in Europe and the U.K., so the prospect of this lineup combined with these crowds has us extremely stoked to get out there and tear it up! New material, great venues, killer fans... we absolutely cannot wait!" Adds Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oliver Sykes, "We're proper excited for these dates with Machine Head! We were listening to them before we even started BMTH, so to be going on tour with them is blowin' our minds! These will be our last U.K./Euro dates before we take a break to record our next album as well, so it's gonna be mental! We honestly can't wait." Says DevilDriver vocalist Dez Fafara, "We always love touring in packages that offer a diversity of styles of metal.

    Global Metal Music and Culture This book defines the key ideas, scholarly debates, and research activities that have contributed to the formation of the international and interdisciplinary field of Metal Studies. Drawing on insights from a wide range of disciplines including popular music, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, philos- ophy, and ethics, this volume offers new and innovative research on metal musicology, global/local scenes studies, fandom, gender and metal identity, metal media, and commerce. Offering a wide-ranging focus on bands, scenes, periods, and sounds, contributors explore topics such as the riff-based song writing of classic heavy metal bands and their modern equivalents, and the musical-aesthetics of Grindcore, Doom and Drone metal, Death metal, and Progressive metal. They interrogate production technologies, sound engi- neering, album artwork and band promotion, logos and merchandising, t-shirt and jewelry design, and the social class and cultural identities of the fan communities that define the global metal music economy and subcul- tural scene. The volume explores how the new academic discipline of metal studies was formed, while also looking forward to the future of metal music and its relationship to metal scholarship and fandom. With an international range of contributors, this volume will appeal to scholars of popular music, cultural studies, social psychology and sociology, as well as those interested in metal communities around the world. Andy R. Brown is Senior Lecturer in Media Communications at Bath Spa University, UK. Karl Spracklen is Professor of Leisure Studies at Leeds Metropolitan Uni- versity, UK.
